I saved Doug because he was facing legitimate danger at the time of the choice.
Carley had a gun and was being grabbed by the ankle by, like, one zombie.
Doug was being tugged at through a barricade by several.
The first time I saved Doug I let Lilly back inside of the RV. It had nothing to do with Dough. I was doing a playing in a way to get Kenny to hate me.
I agree that Doug's storyline was insanely weak. Much has been said about how most people only saved Carley because she was a sexy lady with … morea gun (or if they're more charitable, because Carley was given more dialogue with Lee in the drugstore before the choice happens). But what is seldom stated is that AFTER the choice, Doug says and does almost nothing. Whereas Carley has many engaging character interactions with Lee (and thus, the player) Doug is practically mute. You'd think they'd be able to come up with some fun alternative storylines he could do with gadgetry, but no, he just stands in the background and gives one sentence answers to Lee.
I wonder if during the "RV scene" if, proportionately speaking, more Doug-saving players let Lilly get back on the RV and more Carly-saving players left her on the side of the road. The loss of Doug doesn't seem to elicit the same level of trauma as the loss of Carly.

This was my reasoning, as well.

...may I ask why you were doing that, if you don't mind me asking?
I just wanted to see what happened when Kenny doesn't like Lee.
