User blog comment:Cartoonprincess/DEBATE: Does Sam deserve Freddie?/@comment-3206818-20101229193152

My eyes hurt from reading all the comments - LOL! I thought I'd express my opinions, so get ready cuz this is gonna be a LOONNNGGGG paragraph. Right, I'm going to answer the question first - does Sam deserve Freddie? Yes, I truly think she does. Sam has had an extremely bad childhood, and she has hardly any family to support her throughout her life. Carly and Freddie are practically all she's got (and Spencer as a father figure) If you had a past as troubled as Sam's, would you be a bundle of sunshine? No, you'd be bitter, angry - all you'd want was to be happy, but you wouldn't know how. Which is just like Sam. She needs someone who she trusts, someone who knows her inside out and who accepts her for who she is. Who fits the bill perfectly? Freddie, of course. Freddie understands Sam like no other guy ever would - sometimes he even knows her better than Carly. Despite the fact that she causes him pain on a regular basis, he's always been there for her and thinks of them as really close friends. I think Sam's character is developing and she is learning from her mistakes, judging by the fact that she doesn't abuse Freddie much anymore. If the abuse Sam gave him was so bad, surely he would only spend time with her when they did iCarly, but they hang out without Carly all the time, and make tons of extra iCarly videos. Sure, you could argue that she shouldn't abuse him at ALL, but it's the way they work. It's their little game that they revolve around, and if one of them pushes the boundaries of the game, as demonstrated in iKiss, they are quick to make up. If Carly and Freddie got together, that whole game would be thrown out of balance. To Sam, it would feel like the two people that she cared about the most cared more about each other than about her. That's probably not how it would be - Freddie and Carly would still deeply care about her, but still - Sam would be so lonely and depressed when they were off on dates and whatnot. Remember her distraught face in iSD? That's what it would be like for her, day after day, hiding her emotions under that tough exterior that she does so well. Carly has so many romantic possibilities, whereas Sam can't even get Gibby... imagine how she'd would feel if Carly chose the one guy who meant the most to her. However, if Freddie and Sam got together, it would be perfect. Sam would finally feel worth something - she would have an amazing boyfriend, an amazing best friend, and would finally be happy. She deserves someone like him. Freddie would teach her to be calmer, and Sam would teach him to be tougher. Carly would soon another guy, and it would be perfect. Ta-da!
