HOUSE Makes His Final Decision Tonight!

House | 9pm on FOX
I’m not sure it’s going to come as any big shock since the news was leaked in all the major outlets a while back, but tonight Dr. House decides who is going to make the final cut and join his team on a permanent basis.  Who will be cut?#13, Cutthroat Bitch, Taub or Kumar Kutner?  And more importantly, will we learn the real name of #13 or will she be this show’s Mr. Big?
After Cuddy puts the pressure on House to choose the final members of his team, House deliberately assigns the candidates to a particularly challenging case – an uncooperative, over-the-hill former punk rock star with a history of drug abuse and civil disobedience. House informs the candidates their potential future depends on correctly diagnosing the patient. As the candidates race to find out if the patient is ailing due to drug abuse, an underlying disease or an unknown condition, House keeps a running tally of their efforts, making a few arbitrary point deductions along the way. Meanwhile, Wilson informs a former patient whom he had previously diagnosed with terminal cancer that he is going to live, and the news throws a wrench in the man’s carpe-diem lifestyle.

If you’ve read the spoilers and know who House will be keeping and cutting, let’s NOT mention it in the comments out of respect for those who don’t know.  Besides, I’m not 100% convinced we were fed the right information. Seems a little suspect that the casting news was made public so early, no?
