@Purple22777 - It's funny you mentioned that. The times when iCarly is at its most successful is when it plays against type. I know you all are upset that Sam got turned down by Gibby, but he did have a GF - what do you expect him to do? I liked that because, as Gibby + Freddie + TBBT males incarnated, his GF is unexpectedly good looking.

Similarly, one of the points I like of iCan't Take It is that Carly loses her sainthood. After the Seddie Arc, they should have had her deal with the problems she caused Sam and Freddie. Also, Freddie shows way more backbone in the Seddie Arc than he does at any other point in the series. Why does he just fall under Carly's spell again? Or are we to believe that Carly is so angelic that all thoughts of other females go away when she shows him attention? (One of the reasons I stopped watching after iToe Fat Cakes was that his returning to Carly was so jarring and unmotivated that I felt like all the character development I saw from iOMG through iToe Fat Cakes was getting thrown out the window so that the intended finale could get back on track.)

And this is why you perceive Sam as being treated so poorly: she was, both by the writers and, by extension, the other characters.
