doug who ate the buns just like Carly did uses a laser pointer and is just as effective as Carly and plays with wires and bells to create a zombie trap that doesn't waste precious ammo.
or a chick with a gun who also has a soft spot for lee ?
Carley trusted me even though she knew I was a murderer, risked her life to get myself and Kenny's family into the drugstore, and came with me to save Glenn when he was trapped at the motor inn. Doug did some stuff with a remote. Now don't get me wrong, I like Doug too as he seemed like a pretty cool guy when we spoke, but even he said that he wished Lee had saved Carley.
Plus, Carley gave back the food I offered her in Episode 2 so I could save it for me or Clem, while I think that Doug would just take it. She was also right there to save my skin when David zombified (even though Mark/Larry will do it if she isn't there) whereas Doug wouldn't. She's also a crack shot, and I never saw her miss duing the drugstore at the end of Episode 1 in addition to her looking like she needed more help at the time.
After Carley all but threatened Lee in the back room of the convenience store... I knew then and there that, if I had anything to say about it, her days were numbered.
I wouldn't say Carley "threatened" Lee in the backroom. She let him know the situation as it stood and he decided how to respond to it. I never felt like she wanted to be hostile with her information like Larry was. She said it out of concern for the group and for Lee's safety. I felt like I could trust her to keep a secret, which so far I have not regretted. Plus, I just find her more compelling a character than Doug. She has a more engaging and interesting personality and backstory than him in my opinion.
I saved Doug because I felt like if I didn't keep Carly as my friend or upset her in anyway in later episodes she'd be stupid enough to blab to the entire group - I mean she doesn't even know how batteries work.
It's a shame because Carly was certainly a damn sight prettier than Doug. But, Doug was supported by the fact my uncle's an IT guy too and you can't help but feel sorry for the guy.
Besides, Doug's turned out to be useful enough. In episode 2 he built an alarm system and I keep hoping he'll build some giant zombie death trap.
Well I saved Doug. I thought I would be able to save both but wasn't of course so I saved Doug. I created a Facebook page to track the things that happen as a result of saving Doug. Check us out at Save Doug

The real question is how many of us would actually have a chance with Carley assuming she was real.
Well it's the apocalypse. Women have needs that need to be fufilled. Considering mostly everyone in the world is dead, she might not have a lot of choice.
I let Carly die in ep. 1 because she knows Lee's secret and I killed Larry in episode 2 for the same reason. Now that Larry's dead, Lilly has no one and she's alone in opposing lee. Having Kenny's support means having the support of his wife and his kid. And Doug won't side with Lilly because he owes me his life.
If Carley was a guy people still would have saved him over Doug. They didn't do enough to let you connect with Doug. You couldn't even keep the conversion going with him without reclicking on him because the conversation would always stop.

Something I've been wondering about this. I think when Lee's secret finally goes out, Doug's going to be like "OMG! You killed Carley because she knew your secret!" And then, your friendship with him is over.

I chose Doug because he could come in handy later. People claim it's good to have someone handy with a gun in a Zombie apocalypse and I can agree with that. But it doesn't take an extremely skilled person to shoot slow moving targets. Targets coming at you at a very slow pace. Anyone, even clem, could make the shot. You also don't get to survive in an apocalypse if you fail to understand the need for batteries.
I mean, she was a reporter for a radio station and didn't even know how to work a radio...
All good points my man! Hope you're a fan on "the facebooks". Just search for Save Doug. We are trying to beat the save Carley page, but right now they have more members! It's all for fun so check us out if you get a chance

They're both idiots:
Carley can't do batteries.
Doug yells at you while you're rummaging a zombie body for keys, alerting an entire herd to your present.
It's all personal preference: do you want guns or a geek?

I know if I were in a zombie apocalypse and I were saved twice by a sharpshooter, I'd leave them to die because this other anti-social member may have untapped potential. I mean, I already know my savior can shoot a gun. What does the Mystery Box in the corner contain? It could be anything. It could be another sharpshooter.
... Or I'll just save Carley. Doug's a seemingly cool guy who would be hard pressed to offend. Carley has stuck her neck out for you twice. Heaven forbid you at least give back half of what you owe. :S
Why did I save Carley?
Well if you want a practical answer: I didn't really connect with Doug, and Carley supported me by saving Clem and helping Glenn. Then, at the Drugstore, Doug should've easily yanked those walkers off his shoulders--I mean come on! Although Carley should've just kicked off the one grabbing her leg I felt I had to save her to make up (even though SHE KNOWS!!) so yeah....sorry, Doug.
If you want my personal reason (identical to nearly everyone else who saved her): Carley is the hottest news reporter I have ever seen and I wanna romance her...who wouldn't If Lilly's the other option?!

It's not that difficult if you've been trained or have some familiarity with firearms. For a complete newbie that's never really handled a weapon in their life? Odds are decent they'll screw up things as basic as what ammunition their weapon uses, how to load a magazine, operate a safety, etc. particularly when under stress. Nevermind things like breath control while aiming, how to clean the thing to keep it working, or how to clear a jam... even people that went through basic training regularly needed to be taught how to clear a jam, because in basic a guy will tend to get into the habit of raising a hand while on the range to ask a Drill Sergeant for help if their rifle jams and the like (a habit which could potentially get that hand shot off in actual combat).
In Carley's case, (atleast for me) it also wasn't just that she knew how to shoot, it was the fact I'd be tossing out the baby with the bath water, so to speak - she had her gun on her person, if she were overrun, I figured it meant losing the only gun the group had at the time too.
everyone saying I saved Carly because I figured she could use her gun to shoot the zombies
but I know why they saved Carly bad boys
Saving Carly should be a natural choice. It's a game so some people will try and be logical and say Doug will come in handy in future episodes but in real life wouldn't your loyalties lie with the person that has saved your life twice,past tense or would they be with the person who may come in handy in future? If it wasn't for Carly Lee and his companions would have been dead in the streets. Carly risked her group's safety to save Lee and bring him in the drug store and stood up for him and his people with Glen against Lilly and Larry which she didn't have to do. That says something about her character and personality. Where was Doug in all of this. Oh yeah! Watching. Carly either saves Lee's life or Clementine's again, shortly after when Clementine is attacked by a walker in side the drug store. At no time was Doug responsible for saving Lee's life or Clementine's in the first episode. Saving Carly in return for her saving you should be a no-brainer, a natural go to response. In real life I would feel in debt to someone who saved my life. Carly having a gun or being attractive is a bonus. Then you throw in the fact that you spent far more time with Carly, people should have felt, naturally more close to her. I think the reason people didn't save her is because they wanted to be different and didn't want to be seen by others as choosing a character over the other based on their gender and therefore weren't responding naturally to the situation.

It is a no brainer why you should pick Doug
Plus, Carley gave back the food I offered her in Episode 2 so I could save it for me or Clem, while I think that Doug would just take it. She was also right there to save my skin when David zombified (even though Mark/Larry will do it if she isn't there) whereas Doug wouldn't. She's also a crack shot, and I never saw her miss duing the drugstore at the end of Episode 1 in addition to her looking like she needed more help at the time.
My second thought was: She´s women!
Doug is funny but I thought that Carley is more interesting. So I saved her.
Pretty logical to me.
Protection and procreation come natural to our species.
I wouldn't say Carley "threatened" Lee in the backroom. She let him know the situation as it stood and he decided how to respond to it.
