User blog comment:Yanks28/Reasons why I don't like Creddie/@comment-3553219-20110824042739

I also wouldn't like Creddie (I don't think but who knows). I don't think they have the right chemistry. And they aren't very interesting and dynamic together. They are too young to just settle into a boring relationship with each other. Honestly, both Carly and Freddie seem more interested in Sam (not romantically). Their most interesting conversations are often about Sam. Bot seem to have way more fun with Sam than with each other.

And, yes, the best part about Sam and Freddie is that they are fun and fun to watch together. Around Carly Freddie isn't nearly as independent or strong. Freddie without Sam would be Freddie in iChristmas and I wouldn't want to watch that show.

I do disagree that Freddie was weak or didn't stand up for himself in Season 1. He was always screaming in Sam's face or insulting her. They both fought constantly. He made several bets with her that he was sure he would win. He was just also, rightfully, afraid of her. In Season 1 Sam could have beaten Freddie to a pulp without breaking a sweat.
