The House Big Bad Bracket: Round Three

house bracket copy copy.jpgWe're back with the House Big Bad Bracket! Before we get into the Blunt Trauma Division, let's take a look at the results of the Technique division. Technology didn't do well -- Old X-Rays fell to House's fame, while CT Scanners were crushed by Broad Spectrum antibiotics. Foreign Accents fended off Whiteboard lists at the last minute. But the biggest blowout came when Wacky Cane Hijinks prevented MRI Scans from garnering a single vote. Take that, advanced technology!

Will we see a similar blowout this week? That's up to you! Polls close July 30, so get voting!
Stopping a patient's heart
This was really dramatic - the first time. Kill the patient, then revive them and save the day. Now it seems like they do this every other week, so the potency may be falling off.

Clinic hours
These seem to be House's nemesis - Cuddy threatening him with them will always prompt some extreme defensive action.
A trip to Cuddy's office
When the drama and conflict get to be too much, everything gets moved to Cuddy's office - where magically the conflict is resolved one way or another. There must be something formidable in that trip to Cuddy's office.

Rare collectibles
A stunning car...a new motorcycle... a classic guitar... these are the things House seeks after when he's a little more sober. They give his life meaning.

 

Internet porn
House always claims he's using his office computer for Internet porn. His team and Wilson always assume he's indulging in Internet porn. It's either a running joke or another addiction holding House in its grip.

Ignored minion
Many, many episodes we see one of the minions suggests the correct diagnosis about half way through, and House ignores the suggestion for no good reason. This ignored minion is always right. Always.
Famous guest stars
These last few seasons especially have seen guest stars turn up for just an episode or two that are extremely famous. Don't underestimate the power of the cameo.

Cuddy's low-cut shirts
Cleavage!
