User blog:Miles Lacey/A Misinterpreted Kiss.

I'm going to offer a somewhat different (I think) of The Kiss on the iOMG episode.

But, first, a brief disclaimer: I do not subscribe to either Creddie or Seddie. So spare me the "ship" arguments.

Virtually all the comments I've read, at least on the Seddie side, have assumed that the computer application that Freddie and Brad set up was working properly and that its diagnosis that Sam was in love was correct.

Both Carly and Freddie automatically assumed the application was correct and assumed - wrongly - that she was in love with Brad. In order to get Sam to open up her feelings towards Brad both Carly and Freddie used a lame story to clear the gym and left Brad and Sam to do whatever it was they were expected to do. Mostly, it was Carly's doing.

Having been in a virtually identical situation to what Sam was in in this episode I can pretty much guess that Sam felt awkward, embarrassed and humiliated by this well intentioned, but incredibly insensitive and short-sighted, action on the part of her best friends.

Later, Sam is outside when Freddie comes up and starts lecturing her about how she must love Brad because she never hesitates to let him know she hates him. She gets up and gives him a kiss while Carly is watching through the window. And we're not talking about a little peck on the lips here but a kiss that would've had every male with at least one hormone still capable of raging envying Freddie.

I put it to you that Sam knew that Carly was watching and that she kissed Freddie (a) to shut him up and (b) to proverbially slap Carly across the face for putting her in that awkward and humiliating situation earlier with Brad.

If she kissed Freddie because she loved him then why did she apologize for kissing him afterwards? I don't know about you but I wouldn't be apologizing if I kissed someone I loved.

Feel free to agree, disagree, stick pins in voodoo dolls of me or whatever. Just be nice to one another.
