I tried my best to word the question right so that you guys understand it.

HIMYM - I thought I'd ship Ted/Robin but I ship Barney/Robin.
Lost - I thought I'd ship Skate but I ship Jate.

For me, before I even started watching one tree hill, I thought I would ship Brucas. Or well I actually did ship them... In a way. I was such a huge CS fan back then and it made me so excited to see their characters together on a show that I've never even seen before. Then I actually started to watch the show one day and as episodes went on I started LOVING Leyton<3 and I started disliking BL. Anyways, I realize it wasn't BL that made me "ship" them it was Chad & Sophia. So by the time was done the show, LP were my OTP<3

Another time I've shipped a couple without watching the show is when I kept hearing so much things about Delena. People made such a big deal out of them and so I thought why not check them out? I watch fanvids and scenes of them and fell in love with them! There was just something that I LOVED about them. Then I thought maybe it's time I watch the show and get to know them more. So I watch the show with an open mind because I already knew there was SE and I thought maybe I would see something more with them and start liking them, but when I started watching I didn't feel anything with them. I didn't even them TBH. DE were and are my couple of that show and not once do I regret shipping them :)

Those are pretty much the reason behind the icons that are used.

Not that I can think of anyways... I don't usually watch fan vids of shows I don't watch.

Before I started watching NCIS I shipped Tiva because of pics and fanvids I had seen. Then after I started watching I shipped Tate. Now I'm split down the middle. I ship Tony/Ziva AND Tony/Kate. Also happened in Glee based on fanvids and fanart I shipped Quinn and Puck but after watching now I ship Finn and Quinn and Puck and Rachel.

i'm not good at changing ships xD. so no i don't! i was thinking about the shows where i have done that - The OC and Glee is the only one i can think of - i shipped Seth&Summer/Ryan&Marissa and i still do after watching it - i shipped Puck&Quinn because watching Glee - and i still ship them (;

I thought id love Quinn and Puck, Leyton, and STelena but now im a Puckleberry, Brucas, and Delena fan!

i used to watch vids about effy and cook and i loved them, but when i started to see the show, i fell for freffy

Not that I can think of anyways... I don't usually watch fan vids of shows I don't watch.

Me either!

I can't ship a couple just by watching videos ! I have to know them, watch the show, know their characters and storys ...

I watched Skate fanvideos but prefered Jate when I watched and I watched Brucas videos but loved them when I watched the show lol.

I don't change ships easy , so no.
But I did ship Brucas after I watched OTH and then when i started watching it they were still my fave ship.

Well, I still do ship Delena, but I remember before I watched TVD, I saw a ton of Delena videos and I loved them and didn't really have much of an opinion on Stelena. Then I saw the show, and I shipped Stelena aswell as Delena, and lately I am shipping Stelena harder than I am Delena.

Delena and Freffy.

Still have to watch TVD (when i get free time), so my opinion of them might change.

I eventually watched Skins and LOVED Freffy even more than before.

actually i think it did happen to me sort of with skins, i watched ceffy fanvids and i was IN LOVE with them. but i watched the show and althought i still loved ceffy i just wanted freffy to be together in the end, they had this meant to be quality about them that was kinda undeniable, like jate loll.

before starting to watch GG i watched derena scenes and fell for them but after a while(season 2 exactly) i started to watch the show and started to dislike derena and ship serenate

Skins- Before I ever watched Skins, I had seen some Freddie/Effy scenes in multifandom fanvids & I thought I would like them. But then when I watched, I hated them! Cook/Effy are so much better!

That's the only one i can think of where i was wrong about who I'd ship.

There have been other shows where i was RIGHT about who i was gonna ship though!

Lost - I knew I'd love Sawyer & Kate ♥ [Though I have come to love Jack & Kate as well!]

HIMYM - I knew Barney/Robin & Marshall/Lily would be my ships.

TVD - I saw the chemistry between Delena in a bunch of different multi-couple vids & I loved them instantly ♥ Also, saw Matt/Caroline clips in a collab I was part of and thought they were cute & now they are in my Top 10 list!

VMars - LoVe ♥

Glee - Knew Puckleberry would kill me ♥

Thought I'd ship Skate in Lost because everyone was telling me they were so great & that since I loved Brucas I'd love Skate too. Turned out I really didn't like Skate & fell in ♥ with Jate instead.

I thought that I'd like Freffy & Naomily the most in Skins, but after watching Ceffy was the ship for me!'

Went in watching The O.C. with an open mind, but I had a feeling I might ship Ryrissa because people kept telling me they had such much chemistry & were really epic, but I never really liked them. Shipped Raylor & Sethummer instead.

^^ Good choice with The OC couples<33 Raylor<33

I watched Skins and i shipped Freffy like i always thought
