Imagine if Seddie happens, though (full disclosure: I expect this).

There are going to be a percentage of Creddiers who are really going to feel used and abused by Dan.

They already feel that Dan has been more chummy and friendly with feedback for Seddiers since the show started. If the show ends Seddie, look at the timeline:

iSD: Creddiers: YAY! They're slow dancing!

Dan: Fooled you! I won't follow this up and Sam's jealousy is what matters.

iSYL: Creddiers: YAY! They're kissing!

Dan: Fooled you! - Carly was only hero-worshipping and didn't really love Freddie.

iSAFW: Creddiers: Gasp! Is Freddie jealous of Adam?!

Dan: Fooled you! - They'll spend the whole episode publicly denying feelings, and I'm going to make the in-show Creddiers look totally crazy right before I film the big Seddie episode.

iOMG: Creddiers: Gasp! Is Carly jealous in the window?!

Dan: Fooled you! - Carly will work hard to help Seddie and she thinks it's great. I'm also going to let Seddie date for FOUR episodes and exchange I-Love-You's to boot.

iOAR: Creddiers: YAY! Freddie might be feeling something for Carly again!

Dan: Fooled you! - I did that so you could see how upset Sam would be, and to create drama. Freddie's going back to Sam, and Carly still feels nothing beyond friendship for Freddie, like always.

(In this scenario, Dan is Lucy with the football, and the Creddiers are Charlie Brown. If it was me, I'd be pretty upset and would feel like I had been "had". I'd feel like Dan was just teasing with no payoff. I'd feel used. I always say that if you have fun shipping that it's never a waste, but it would still be a tough pill to swallow if you're following a ship that you really think has a fighting chance of being canon. If Seddie isn't endgame, at least we have five big shipping episodes in our favor to remember fondly.)
