@iEmbargo, yes, iSaved Your Life had the highest ratings in iCarly (and Nick) history and ratings did decline during the Seddie arc. But as you said, I don't think it had to do COMPLETELY with the shipping.

With iSaved Your Life, of course, all the Creddiers tuned in to watch it, but I think there are other reasons for the high ratings. First, the neutral (and even Seddiers) know that Freddie's had a massive crush on Carly since forever, and Carly never returned the feelings. I think people were definitely curious as to see what would happen if she finally did (although not necessarily shipping it). Also, it took place during Season 3, which was arguably the best season (in writing and such) in the series.

For the Seddie arc, Season 4 already started off pretty weak, so many past viewers may have not been watching (besides for iOMG, which yes, I know did worse than iSaved Your Life). iLove You had horrible ratings, but TBH, the previews they gave on Nick showed absolutely NO Seddie, just about the Spencer dating his old babysitter plot. If they had shown a preview of Sam and Freddie trying to bond and show parts of the ending (like to British preview, if you can, look it up, it's what the iLove You preview SHOULD have been in the States), I think it could have definitely gotten more viewers.

So, in response to viewers showing that there are more Creddiers than Seddiers, I have to disagree. Using Twitter as an example, even during iGoodbye with the Creddie kiss, I don't think ANYTHING Creddie related trended. And during iOpen A Restaurant, that was ultimately Sibby and Creddie, "We Want Seddie" trended, and Dan recognized that he saw the trend. I personally think there are more Seddiers, but of course people will always disagree.
