Seddie:
 * I think they have good chemistry (this is a totally subjective thing).
 * I think Freddie is someone who both really enjoys Sam's crazy side (they have fun) but is willing and able to reign her in when she goes too far.
 * I think Freddie challenges Sam. He tries to make her do the right thing when she goes too far, he tries to make her read or do school work, he very rarely backs down from a fight with her (rare for most people).
 * I think Sam makes Freddie better in a really strange way. I think all of his life he has been so sheltered by his mom that Freddie we meet, at first, is pretty much only feisty when he is fighting with Sam. Other than that he is fairly ok with being a doormat.  Overtime she has helped him be more assertive, independent, willing to disobey authority.  And, yes, that is a good thing because you need to be able to stand up for yourself and fight when you know something is wrong.  I think that a Freddie without Sam would be like the Freddie in iChristmas AU.  (Just my opinion).
 * The two just have good scenes together. Plain and simple.

Cam:
 * I love that they bring out the best in each other and indulge each other's crazy. And, yes, Sam indulges Carly's crazy almost as much as Carly does it for her.  There is a reason she helped with Lewbert, went to Nora's, agreed to help bring Fleck and Dave back together etc. even though she thought all of that was meddling in other people's business or just none of her concern.  Its because she loves Carly.
 * I love how much fun they have together and how they really act like two people who have known each other for a long time (sometimes shows will tell you two people are best friends but you don't really *see* it).
 * I love how they are mother figures for each other. Carly in an obvious way.  But I think a mother is more than a person who tells you to mind your manners and tries to make you study and stuff.  I think a mother is also the person you feel safest with in the entire world.  The person you want to protect you and to hold you when things go wrong.  And we have seen many times where Carly has gone for comfort or protection to Sam even before going to Spencer.  I think they are surrogate family to each other when both don't have a lot of family.
 * I just love Carly and Sam. I am a Seddie shipper so I keep it to friendship for these two (which is weird because I do usually ship gay couples).  But these two are the core of the show.  And they sparkle when they are on screen together.

Creddie:
 * I do usually like the best friend type romance. But I will be honest these two don't do much for me because they are come off as pretty dull when they are alone.  Even my very favorite scenes with them usually involve them talking about Sam, which to me is a bad sign. But this is of course just my opinion.
 * I did like their dance in ISpeed Date even before Sam walked in. I thought it was one of the few episodes where I really saw their connection.
 * I do like when they are both equally scared of something like in iHMP when they are both afraid of being overheard or iPromise not to Tell.
 * I like when they gently tease each other.
