I have a few points to add on this:

Firstly, I disagree with you about the fact a surprise ending automatically makes it a good ending. In HIMYM Ted ended up with Robin despite the entire show being about how he met the mother of his children and that the show had built up a strong relationship between Robin and Barney. You probably already know that the majority of fans did not react well to this twist: some liked Barney and Robin together, others loved the mother and wanted a happy ending with her. Either way, a surprise ending does not work IF the writing has not led you to want the surprise (sorry if that makes little sense). A good writer picks the couple they want right at the beginning and gets fans to want that couple. It doesn't always work that way, but I believe that is what the writers are intending in The 100 (but of course couples are a tiny part of this show, will admittedly I love).

Another point that you made is that just because Bellarke happened in the books does not mean it would happen in the show, because the show and books are very different. I agree with you on that. However, the Vampire Diaries were books first and Damon and Elena still ended up together. So the fact the show and books are different does not mean it WON'T happen either. To be honest I think Bellarke is more likely to happen because there will already be a fanbase from the books.

I think that the writers will make Bellamy and Clarke a couple. The writers of the show are good, right? So they won't just put in moments/scenes for no reason, and Bellamy and Clarke have had moments where there is hinting of feelings for each other. I will admit there have only been a few, but a few is enough to show where the writers are going with this. Need examples?

1) On Day Trip, Bellamy was showing Clarke how to use a gun, and he touched her arm. They show Bellamy look at her and then give a shake of the head.  Bellamy did have hallucinations in that episode which some people could argue was the reason, but I doubt this is the case.  Firstly, they didn't show his hallucination which I would have expected them to do; secondly, he was perfectly fine to shoot a gun straight after that moment.  And I don't think you can argue that was just those two becoming friends; it just doesn't fit.  Why would he be like that if it was just friendship?  I argue that this was the first moment there was a hint of a relationship. 2) When they were attempting negotiations with Anya episode 1x09, things turned ugly. Anya was about to attack Clarke when a bullet hit her. She whirled round and realised that Bellamy had shot that bullet. Again, you could argue that it was just about friendship, but it seemed strange that they showed it. 3) When they hugged (and that moment really was beautiful) they pulled back, and if you watch the scene you see them just look at each other. Again...that's not friendship.  If she had immediately turned to hug Octavia, THAT would have been friendship.  But their eyes met and held each other.  THAT shows there is something there.

However, I don't think Clarke and Bellamy will be together for a while. And I doubt Bellamy will have a relationship with anyone right now. None of them are going to be thinking of romance right now. They are focussed on rescuing their friends. It would be so out of character for Bellamy to just start a romance with someone, especially someone he doesn't know very well. Bellamy doesn't trust people very easily. I can't see him starting a relationship with a Grounder, at least not any time soon.

I think you will at least have to endure Clarke and Bellamy having a relationship. And if I'm honest, I would prefer him with Clarke then Finn. I just never got Finn as a character. My problem was at first he seemed like a total bad boy, and then he was suddenly defender of life and peace. I mean, he was imprisoned because he wasted an entire MONTH of oxygen just to go on a spacewalk. That sounds so out of character for Finn. I just didn't understand him. Maybe that will change in the upcoming episode, but it didn't help me in trying to understand Finn.

I don't want to have a huge argument - you are absolutely right to have your own opinions and voice them. If like Finn and Clarke, fair enough. However, I am allowed to have an opinion too.
