@RosalieTheBrave you're always right! I can't even remember how many times I've agreed with you just in the past week. The high ratings of iSaved Your Life have nothing to do with Seddie or Creddie. We need to keep in mind that we internet super fans represent only a tiny portion of the iCarly fanbase. Yes there are more Seddie shippers, but out of the millions of fans, the ones that care enough to go online like we do may only number a few thousand. Even if all the super fans could agree on what we want to happen, Dan would have no reason to listen to us since we make up maybe 1% of the ratings. That acually bodes well for Seddie, since Dan will do what he wants because we super fans simply don't affect the ratings enough for him to pay us any mind. History has shown that Dan favors love-hate pairings, so he will probably do that no matter what the super fans want. The only time he paired a non love-hate couple was in Zoey 101 when he paired Zoey and Chase. But even in that show he also paired Quin and Logan, a love-hate couple. Shipping isn't a factor in ratings. What really drove iSYL to such high ratings was promotion, timing, and curiosity. Back then, Nick was getting higher ratings in general. So was iCarly. The ratings were already low when the Seddie arc started, and the arc itself didn't change that. I'm sure the arc would have gotten ratings similar to iSYL if all the different factors were favorable. The fact that the Creddie shippers boycotted the arc probably didn't even make a dent in the ratings. Most fans only care about the comedy. Those fans could care less who dates who. The Creddie shippers will point to the inflated ratings for iSYL as a reason for Creddie, but by doing this they are misinterpreting the facts. AGAIN.
