When you think about it, there have been numerous errors from Nick, DS, and the production staff that got us here. Just for fun, let me name the first 10 that come off the top of my head.

The first mis-guess is "Popular Sam + Popular Cat = Popular Show a durrrr!!!" The second gaffe is believing that this could work because Ariana and Jennette once got along so well - not realising they weren't close anymore. The third lapse is that they believed that Cat and Sam only has one strong character. The fourth blooper is when they doubled the number of episodes to film. The fifth goof is cancelling Victorious without warning or explanation. The sixth blunder was obviously recycling old storylines that had been anticipated for iCarly and Victorious and using them for S&C. The seventh miscalculation was not to do something to ameliorate the tension on the set. The eighth flub was to rig the KCAs. The ninth mis-step was not knowing how Jennette would react to the rigging. The tenth oversight was to allow DS to write all the stories. And so on.

Ariana's independence complicates matters, but they do have contracts they could try to enforce. One wonders how much smoke they were blowing about the show if they did not enforce it with Jennette.
