@Sock (hope you don't mind my shortening your name)

Simple. This development with Sam from the get-go (basically iOMG) has been serious. Freddie's crush on Carly was played for laughs since the second it was brought up. It's been given its time in the serious light, but simply point, the point of Freddie's crush was largely to make you laugh. You can't entirely compare the two. Downgrading Sam's love to a crush does make iOMG pointless, since it was given such a serious introduction.
