I dont think so. I guess, she likes Sam AT THE MOMENT more than Carly, because Sam didnt show any emotions to Freddie -- She is more trying to show that she hates him (of course she isn't, now, after iGAHR I guess everyone knows) -- so Freddie wouldn't choose Sam over his mother. But if Freddie and Sam date, Marissa is also going to freak out on her. -- Sure, it's way funnier when she attacks Carly, because I think that Sam would handle it better. -- But as Mak says, Marissa also thinks that Sam is a 'freak'.
