That was pretty funny.

He makes some good faces at people, also.

Now that Principal Harper is here, I was hoping he brought Scott Guber. Now that's someone I'd like to see sparring with House.

Another solid episode. Interesting direction they're taking with Vogler, albeit a bit predictable. At least they realize that they needed to add something to the basic format. Dr. Cameron's change was a bit strange and felt out of place though.

but it sets up for a new dynamic in the house-cameron relationship. as well, they also setup up new stuff for house-chase.

also the ceo lady should have noticed that they're taking pictures of different legs.

Oh man, Cameron looked crushed when House pretty much rebuffed her advances.

I think this was the first time I've ever seen Chi McBride smile and showing off his teeth.

The dynamic between Vogler and House could be entertaining, but then again, House with anyone is pretty entertaining.

If House knew he gave a heart to Nina Myers, would he have re-considered?

Cameron is just so insecure - she has to know House likes her. He took her into the pit at the monster-truck show! You don't just take anyone (particularly someone you don't care for) to a monster-truck show!

You are right - he never shows his teeth. That was kind of weird.

For the longest time, I thought Cameron's first name was Cameron, and when the other 2 docs started using "Allison", I had to IMDB her character name, and she's Allison Cameron on the show. Doh!

...


Was it directly implied that Chase gave up the goods on House? And if he didn't directly give the ipecac to Vogler, how would Vogler know what it was used for? Or is the use of syrup of ipecac by bulimics common knowledge?

I don't know if Chase is the one who ratted House out to Vogler, but we did see him find the Ipecac and not a nurse as Vogler said, so it makes sense.

I'm sure Chase ratted him out. If Cameron threw herself at me like that, I'd hit it like Rick James.

So the reason that Allison was reading the books was to get House to like her more? And did I get it right that House and the head doctor lady had a relationship together?

It was alluded to by Vogel that House and Cuddy had a prior romantic relationship (she didn't really deny it when confronted by it).

Good to see them add a bit of a continuing story. They broke a lot of the usual patterns in this one. They didn't almost kill the patient with a misdiagnosis, and she didn't have an exotic disease or multiple exotic diseases. Glad to see Chi McBride, but I agree that they should get Guber too!

Another solid show and, as was mentioned earlier, they finally broke the pattern of nearly killing the patient a few times by screwing up.

I've also enjoyed the (sometimes subtle) character development of House every week. Go back and watch the first episode if possible, and you can really see how he's progressed over the season.

You are a DEVIL viewer! Out of this thread and back into your reality TV world!

Another great episode. Glad there are 8 more to go!

This show is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
The injection into the dads throat was great.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS:
House / Chase, this will be interesting, I feel that House will eventually tell Chase that he is not mad, it was his duty to bring the Ipicac (sp?) to light.
Does anyone else besides myself feel as though House will be needed to save the life of either Vogler or one of his family members? This is how that will be resolved, of course I am guessing.
Cutty and Cleavage, this is getting great. I hope that this is never resolved.
I am not sure if what I wrote could be considered a spoiler since it is my opinion. I do not know how to Black it out yet. Sorry if anyone is upset with this.
Awesome show.

I thought that exact same thing after this episode, and during the trailer for next week's where Vogler says something like (I'm paraphrasing) "Give me one good reason to keep him, or he's out of here."

But, I seriously hope they don't end up having it play out that way (House having to save either Vogler or someone close to him) because that's just WAY too predictable, hence the reason we both thought of it. They'll come up with something more original than that.

If this happens, it's probably a long ways off. If Chi McBride is going to be around permanently (I hope so), then it just gives them someone for House to butt heads with.

STRONG AGREEMENT Kind of odd that she keeps wearing low cut tops after they have had House raz her about it.

ps: nothing in your post is a spoiler since it's all speculation. To use spoilers you (spoiler)do something like this, but with brackets instead of parentheses(/spoiler)
