@ Slicknickshady :

''He added "or you might not". That's a key thing you are leaving out.''

We're not leaving it out. We just don't think it's the important part.

Look at it this way :

Anybody who favors Carly and Freddie being together would be bound to be unhappy with the ending of iOMG. Dan Schneider had to know that.

If he had it in mind to just end Creddie altogether ... In other words, if "or you might not" was the important part of what he was saying ... Then there would have been no point to saying anything at all.

There would have been no reason for him to even suggest that those who were unhappy with iOMG might still like the next episode, or the one after that. He could have just let the Creddie shippers be unhappy with iOMG and left it at that. Therefore, it seems far more likely that the first part of his statement, that those who didn't like iOMG might still like the next episode, is the part that matters.

Similarly, he had to know that it was a much more natural assumption for the audience to think Carly was upset by what she was seeing than to think that she wasn't. Unless it was just a cruel tease, it seems more likely that that was his goal in putting Carly there.

Now, I have avoided saying this because one of my goals has been to encourage the Creddiers not to give up hope, but the truth is, I'm inclined to believe that if anybody winds up a permanent couple by series' end, it will be Sam and Freddie.

There is, however, I think, a ray of hope for the Creddiers. Whether or not Carly and Freddie wind up together at the end (which, admittedly, I don't think they will), there is still a good two seasons between now and then, during which there is always a chance that Dan Schneider will give the Creddiers a little more of their favored relationship to enjoy.

As my sister and I have said, we believe that a love triangle in some form is inevitable. Dan Schneider just dropped too many hints at the end for it not to happen.
