To everybody who agreed with me, thank you very much. I appreciate your kind words. :)

@ Slicknickshady :

I understand where you're coming from on this, and you do have a point. However, if I may point out ...

If Carly doesn't have feelings for Freddie, then this is all moot, because there would be no reason for her to pursue anything with Freddie in the first place.

My argument was based on the assumption that she does, and that she would act on them.

As other people have said, Sam can't know for sure what the exact nature of Carly's feelings for Freddie were in iSaved Your Life (and, for that matter, neither can we). Basically, she made a judgment of the situation and acted on it, and hoped that she was doing the right thing. That's all anybody could or would do in Sam's place.

Also ... I recall seeing somebody once suggest that Sam couldn't have always liked Freddie, because she went out with Jonah, Pete, and Shane. In response, it was pointed out that Freddie had a crush on Carly, but he still went out with Valerie.

Having genuine feelings for Freddie wouldn't necessarily have stopped Carly from going out with Adam, or the guy she's dating in iParty With Victorious.

Finally ...

Also in response to another one of your points if you go to the "Well Sam shouldn't be able to date Carly's ex" then i could point to the "Carly should have never kissed Sam's first kiss Freddie"

Actually, I addressed that point in my first post. That was a kiss that Sam and Freddie both stated that they only did because they wanted to get it over with. There was no reason to expect Carly to view it as anything more when Sam and Freddie themselves were telling her that it wasn't.

My point, ultimately, is that it is no more fair to expect Carly to sacrifice her feelings for Freddie (assuming that she has such feelings) for Sam's sake, than it would be to expect Sam to do the same for Carly.

At this point, in my view, neither girl has a "claim" (so to speak) on Freddie that the other is obligated to give priority to. Again, you can either criticize both girls for trying to "steal" Freddie (as some folks have put it), or you can criticize neither. Fair is fair.

Personally, I opt for neither.
