I'm the wrong person to ask, because I've been convinced of endgame since iKiss, and nothing I've seen in the show since then has changed my mind. My view is that Dan had planned Sam-Freddie since Season 1, if not before that.

I've never thought the proportions of internet shippers (and what they ship) has influenced the show in any major way. Dan has always said fan reaction won't "steer" his show's ultimate destiny, and I've believed him always.

Dan teases on purpose, but he's never outright lied about something definitive - as far as we know. He says his own opinion of the characters and how he feels about them is what determines the romantic destiny of those characters. His heart tells him where to take the show, and I do believe him when he says that, even if it sounds naive to some people.
