Since the producers of House seem determined to play out the extended metaphor of the Good Doctor holding a reality competition for his new team, what sort of elimination ceremony will be next? A race to a mat where House and a local New Jersey-ite will eliminate the last resident to arrive? House holding only one picture for two docs, with that picture representing the doctor who's still in the running to be House's next top resident? House giving pearl necklaces to the most deserving doctors?

[Guess what? In this week's episode, House made lots of incorrect diagnoses, nearly killed the patient and then figured out what was wrong. Ooops. Did I not mention there were spoilers coming?]

Tuesday (Oct. 23) night's House went all Bachelor style, presenting flowers (he called them roses, but Kal Penn's character argued, "Those are peonies. But I'm sure they're part of the rose family...") to the six doctors still competing to join his team. The evening's bootee was Henry (Carmen Argenziano), or Ridiculously Old Fraud for those of you who can't keep track of any of their given names.

Actually, Ridiculously Old Fraud had a pretty effective episode. Not only did he get to be the Bosley to House's Charlie ("You want to be Bosley? Bosley's like the asexual message boy," said Penn's Kutner to Peter Jacobson's jealous Taub, who correctly responded, "Bosley keeps his job, while they replace five Angels over three seasons."), but he seemed to be getting every single answer right for the entire episode. That turned out to be wrong, of course, since this was one of those rare episodes where not only did House guess incorrectly for the first 45 minutes (par for the course), but he wasn't able to make the right call at the end (Anne Dudek's Amber [or Cutthroat B****] did).

"Don't need someone to tell you what you're already thinking," Henry rationalized.

As House said last week, ""I think I will miss you most of all, Ridiculously Old Fraud."

Case o' the Week: A Ukrainian funeral home worker (Azura Skye, mostly keeping her Russian accent on-point) comes in experiencing seizures and hallucinations, including seeing her dead mother and apparently seeing the patient No. 13 (Olivia Wilde) killed in "97 Seconds." House guessed Mad Cow, Parkinson's and several other things I didn't get. I went back and forth on this week's case, which both wasted the opportunity to be one of those powerful episodes of House where our hero is forced to reevaluate his spiritual underpinnings, but thankfully avoided becoming one of those heavy-handed episodes of House where our hero is forced to reevaluate his spiritual underpinnings. Instead, she was having easily medically explainable delusions (including the call-backs to last episode's victim, which were brought on by Cutthroat B****) and House's faith was never tested. I did like, though, the way she communicated with her fantasy mom, which had the flavor of recovered memory.

Drama o' the Week: Cameron, apparently experiencing a lax week in the emergency room, bet House that if he pushed Big Love (Edi Gathedi's Cole) far enough, he'd snap. She must have seen FOX's relentless promo campaign showing Cole punching House. What? Since I watch baseball I'm not entitled to have even minor surprises anymore FOX? Do you hate your annual postseason commitment that much? Sigh. In 99.999% of workforces, if you punch the boss, you get fired, sometimes even brought up on charges. Cameron knew that House rewards that kind of behavior and his attempts to bait Cole produced several fine one-liners ("Big Love, have I humiliated you in the last half hour? Check your e-mail...").

Meanwhile on Planet Cottage: House's former condos -- cottages, residents, what have you -- continue to have a hard time getting back onto the show. Cameron had good moments tonight ("Cash will be fine." "I bet you say that to all the guys."), but there are too many aspiring residents to service. Chase was barely in the episode at all and Foreman was stuck playing out the string that started last week when he got fired from Mercy for making a House-esque judgment call. We got it last season: Foreman doesn't want to become House, but it's too late and now he's unemployable elsewhere. That led him back to Cuddy, who rehired on the cheap, cleverly saying, "You're House Lite now. The only administrator who'll hire you is the one who hired House Classic." Having Foreman back next week may help the drama, but it won't improve the pre-existing clutter.

Other thoughts on this week's episode:

What's happened to Cuddy this season? Did I miss the episode where House broke her completely? She's a beaten woman. She didn't even kick up a fuss about House sending his charges out to rob a grave. And are we really supposed to be satisfied with a single all-too-brief House-Wilson scene? That's a dangerous path they're going down.
So which of the potential residents do you like best? Actually, I take that back. If you don't like Penn's Kutner best, we can't be friends anymore. So who do you like second best? Do you care what No. 13's mystery is? Are you hoping Cutthroat B**** gets her comeuppance? Do you wonder who that other guy is who hasn't done or said anything smart or funny in three weeks? That's Andy Comeau's Brennan and I'm assuming he'll be next to go.
At least we know what the House writing staff spent the summer watching. There was an M. Night Shyamalan joke in the first episode, a Sixth Sense twist this week. Next week? Expect plenty of references to skrunts, narfs and tartuitics. The most shocking Rose Ceremony ever on 'House'Zap2it.com

[edit] Biography

[edit] Early life and family
Azura Skye was born in her grandmother's home in Northridge, California. Her parents being amateur gemologists, she was named after azurite, a semi-precious mineral. Azure is a color - often associated with the sky - thus the stage name "Azura Skye". Being from a show business family, she started her career as a stage actress at the age of three and toured Europe with the Santa Monica Playhouse theatre group at the age of eleven. She received her education at the Brentwood School.[1][2]

Her grandfather, Brad Johnson, was an actor - mainly known for his role as deputy sheriff Lofty Craig in the 50's TV series Annie Oakley.[1] She is not related in any way to actress Ione Skye.[3]

Her eye color is blue. Sources vary on whether her natural hair colour is black or blond.


[edit] Movie and TV Career
Skye made her first TV appearance on the show Total Security in 1997. Then she played a couple of smaller parts on Touched by an Angel and Chicago Hope, and made appearances in a number of television movies before she was cast for the role as "Jane" in Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane in 1999. Zoe..., as the showed was renamed for the second season, was a shortlived (two seasons) sit com about four teenagers - Skye's character being one of them. In 2000, the same year that Zoe... ended, Skye's first major movie production premiered. In 28 Days, she starred alongside Sandra Bullock and Viggo Mortensen.[4]

Two years later, in 2002, Skye appeared in two episodes of the cult TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In the episode "Help" she plays Cassie Newton, a teen girl at Sunnydale High who possesses the power of precognition and who foresees her own death, and whom Buffy tries to help. In the episode "Conversations with Dead People", she plays an incarnation of the First Evil, in the form and shape of Cassie, who attempts to convince Willow to commit suicide, by pretending to bring a message from her dead girlfriend Tara.

During this time she also appeared in other projects, doing smaller parts. She has played Susie Keaton in four episodes of CSI: Miami and has made guest appearances in shows such as Smallville and Judging Amy. Skye has also played parts in movies like Bandits (with Bruce Willis and Cate Blanchett), The Salton Sea (with Val Kilmer) and Red Dragon (with Anthony Hopkins).[4]


[edit] Recent Projects
Azura Skye's most recent movie part is that of "Ruby Bates", in the 2006 drama Heavens Fall. In 2007, she stars as "Sara" in Like Moles, Like Rats and has a small part in What We Do Is Secret. And in 2008, she will have a major part in the American remake of the Japanese movie One Missed Call, which is expected to premiere in America on January 4, 2008.[4]

Her most recent TV appearances are as the Voice of "Veronica" in an episode of American Dad and a patient on a fall 2007 episode of House.[4]
