Because it's fun. And that is my "why" not "why" answer. I could go into some long spiel about chemistry and excitement and how I think they're "right" for each other and make it sound all well-thought-out and intelligent and whatnot but then I wouldn't really be answering the heart of the matter.

I find Sam and Freddie fun to look for a fun to wait for and fun to see. I don't find Carly and Freddie so much that way. So that's the really the only reason I ship them.

There ARE other couples that I think "are meant for one another" and I could give big, sweeping explanations with all the passion of someone ready to be committed. But Sam and Freddie just isn't one of them. I watch iCarly for fun, not for anything much deeper, and I ship for it the same way.
