User blog comment:XxiOMGxx/Why did Dan choose seddie?/@comment-4196911-20110824114027/@comment-4061054-20110824153145

The only way I can actually see some people seeing Carly and Freddie as a possible option is if they chose not to see the development between Sam and Freddie. Or simply if they misinterpreted their game as real hatred. But the development put into seddie should've made it obvious that Sam and Freddie were Dan's true intention. The thing is, it should've been made pretty obvious that Freddie's crush on her was just a sick obsession because of the way it was addressed. Now, if Sam didn't exist, its understandable why people would think that crush would turn into love because the time spent developing seddie could've been used to further develop creddie. But Sam does exist. Like I said, writers do not generally create two characters who despise each other for the sole purpose of comedy. They have a bigger plan for them.
