Dan just won't stop torturing the shippers in Victorious will he? First he breaks up Bade then puts them back together in "Jade Dumps Beck". Then he gives Jandre shippers hope and dashes them in "Jade Gets Crushed" Then of course he broke up Bade indefinitely in "The Worst Couple". Then when the Bade shippers went to Twitter to vent, he made jokes out of the whole thing. I'm not saying people were right to flame Dan over the breakup. That was pretty stupid. But it was just as stupid for him to aggravate them further. He should have just let them vent instead of upsetting them more. Now he really pushed it in this episode. He messed Treck, Trobbie, Trandre, and Bade. But in the end, Bade got the worst of it. I don't see why he can't just let the Bade shippers be for awhile. If he were did this to Seddie, I'd be more than pissed. Fortunately for us, Dan's need to maintain the integrity of the characters means he won't be pulling that crap on iCarly. Even though I don't ship anything on Victorious, I really don't like the way he's treating the shippers on that show. With all the stuff he's doing, I'm glad I never got involved with shipping on Victorious. The Seddie breakup was painful, but at least Dan didn't rub salt in the wounds like he did with Bade. The really sad part is I think this is just a cheap ploy to get better ratings for Victorious. iCarly will end one day, and Victorious will be his only means to compete with the trash Nick is pumping out by the ton. Unable to make Victorious as good as iCarly, he resorts to cheap tactics such as this. The strategy is simple and brutal. Stir up tons of drama, upset the shippers, make it worse by rubbing it in, and keep the shippers at each others throats and hopefully publicity will result. Upsetting the shippers doesn't seem to bother him. He did this to some extent with iCarly. The Seddie breakup is the most obvious example of that. But at least he left the Seddie shippers alone after the breakup. With Victorious, he's taking it to a whole new level. Not only did he destroy Bade, but he's constantly reminding everyone of the breakup, and he's messing around with other pairings just to make it worse for the Bade shippers. This all just a cheap stunt to win publicity. It's too bad he's resorting to cheap tactics to get viewers instead of improving ratings the old fashioned way: making the show better.
