User blog comment:The Sam Puckett/Creddie and Seddie for a Cam shipper/@comment-3553219-20110625185413

Totally agree. No couple is perfect. I ship Seddie and the Cam friendship. But if Seddie were to not work I would ship Cam. I don't have it in me to ship any relationship that doesn't involve Sam though. I think in real life Creddie would make a lot of sense. For the show its a little boring. Sam can occasionally be a horrible friend. And not the best co-worker. But she helps make their lives interesting and fun. And I think both Freddie and Carly suffer when they aren't in a scene with her.

And I think there are always those episodes where the writers get the characters all wrong. You can always tell when Dan wasn't heavily involved in the initial script. I think Sam is a hard character to write because she is tough and selfish and funny. But she is not evil or cruel. Its a fine line. In her own crazy mind she usually has what she considers a justified reason when she resorts to physical violence. Its really easy to turn her into a cartoon character. And the combination of the writing and Jennette's acting saves her 90% of the time because in some ways Sam is the only one who comes off as a fully formed fleshed out person with realistic flaws and realistic attributes. But iMF and iSPT are real exceptions. On the other hand, I thought Sam was terrible in ISAFW. But not completely unrealistically so. She loves Carly to death. But I could see Sam thinking messing with the fans was funny. And she isn't someone who really understands that actions have consequences and Carly could be hurt by them.

And I think sometimes the big thing with Freddie is a writer will make him not just have a crush on Carly but have him psycho stalker about her. That worked in Season 1 because he was tiny and adorable. After season 1 that just isn't Freddie. He liked her but he wasn't a total creeper. Every once in awhile they forget.
