@Tash1, I understand why you feel that way because...well, who wouldn't want an ending about how the main characters will be friends for ever? But if you really really think about it, it wouldn't be enough to satisfy the shippers, me being one of them. Just think about all the episodes about relationships so far: iKiss, iThink They Kissed, iSpeed Date, iSaved Your Life, iOMG... those episodes would be totally pointless if in the end they did nothing but explore the relationships and end the show with no final pairing. These episodes have an ongoing story to them. Maybe if iCarly were on some other channel for more mature people, (iCarly is a show for mature kids, I know. But little kids watch it and make up a significant part of the fanbase) then I could see something like that happening. But ending the show with no answered questions except 'Everybody is just good friends', would leave kids (even some teenagers) confused. 'All that build up for such a great show, and they can't choose a proper pairing and end the show while showing that everybody is still good friends?' It would bother the fans a lot. We are passionate about our ships (I might be wrong Tash1, but you seem like a neutral shipper?) and we are rooting for them to happen. We don't want to share the ending with the other ship no matter how 'fair' it might seem. Maybe that's selfish, but it's the truth. Not for everybody of course, but people want to see their ship happen. Dan is a TV writer. It's his job to please the fans, and I think the fans want their favorite pairing to get together. He already said in his iOMG funfacts, he knows he can't make us all happy. I know I can't please the world, and you know you can't and there's no point in trying. Sounds to me like he's not going to take the easy way out and he will pick a final pair. At least that's my take on it.
