@ SomeSortaSeddieFreak :

I just want to note one thing for the record. I am about as far from being a Creddie shipper as you can get. I don't support Seddie, either, though.

In the past, I have described myself as a neutral shipper, a non-shipper, and an anti-shipper. I like Carly and Sam very much, and I fully support both Creddie Friendship and Seddie Friendship, but ... Look, no offense, really, to any of the Creddiers and Seddiers here, but in the end, I don't believe that either girl really deserves Freddie's love. That's just my opinion.

I would not get upset to see Freddie paired up with either girl on the show, but honestly, my idea of a dream ending would be for Carly and Sam to each profess her love for Freddie, and for him to reject them both ... and remain friends with them. (That last part is important.)

Yes, I know that it has virtually no chance of happening. I wouldn't mind seeing the Creddie vs. Seddie debate ending in a draw in some form, though.

However ... Although I don't support the relationships themselves, I do support the people who ship them. I sympathize with both sides, and whether it came across that way or not, my objective in writing this blog was to look out for you, both Creddiers and Seddiers alike.

I didn't want the Creddiers to give up hope for their ship, so I wrote this to point out that we don't know for sure what's going to happen, and that anything was still possible. Some possibilities are more likely than others, some much more likely than others, but nothing is ever certain.

Meanwhile, I didn't want the Seddiers to start believing that it was a certainty that Sam and Freddie would become a permanent couple (and it honestly looked to me like some people were). That's what I meant when I said, "Don't get overconfident."

When you do (with regard to anything in life, really), you are running a risk of being greatly disappointed. I don't want the Seddiers to start giving up hope, either, but I feel that, for your own sake, you should acknowledge and prepare for all possibilities. So that you're not hit too hard if something that you really didn't want to happen, happens.

Basically, this is a "Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst" situation. It's perfectly okay to feel happy, excited, and hopeful for the best ... but just bear in mind that the worst (from your point of view, at least) is still possible, and you should acknowledge that, just so you won't get blindsided if it does happen.

That's all I was really trying to say here. I certainly wasn't trying to tear anybody down, or create false hope. It was just a word of caution against feeling too sure of oneself.
