well, the reason why they didn't choose to talk about Cam is because, even though iCarly is more mature than it looks, kids watch it anyways. it's G-rated, and that means that kids are allowed to watch. so if they mentioned Cam in a romantic shipping way, then homophobic fans of iCarly would freak out

also, I found the subplot kind of funny. Gibby's grandpa had great lines, especially with the soup part. my favourite line from him was "what kind of a restaurant doesn't have soup? I thought this was America!"

but yeah, if this episode was just about telling the fans that iCarly is not mainly about ships and romance, then it seems pointless. that's something that Dan can just explain in one of his blogs (which I think he already did)
