Not that anybody remembers her Oscar win I remember it, because it made her daddy cry.

I wonder what the Wenn Diagram looks like to demonstrate the overlap of Superbowl crowd and Mighty Aphrodite crowd.

I wonder if TPTB will give any background on the relationship. Amber being like House would not be a good thing for Wilson. Can you imagine having 2 needy people who want to dominate your life? I'm just hoping that Wilson recognizes Amber as part of a pattern of all the women in his life and breaks it off before they get serious or married. It would be growth for him. Most people in real life tend to always date the same types of people. Wilson may be in a better place emotionally, but we don't know where he was when he married all of his Mrs. Wilsons.

I didn't even know what she won an Oscar for. 'Mighty Aphrodite'? I never saw it.

I've never pictured Amber as "needy," personally. From what Bonnie said -- and House -- Wilson has traditionally gone for the "needy" and it never works out because once they're fixed, he loses interest. Amber, on the other hand, was self-sustained. Her error was in not admitting that she could be wrong, which to me is completely different from needy. Now did we see her crying after she'd been fired? Of course. Who wouldn't. But I never read that moment as "needy." That's why I think this could be a completely different relationship for Wilson.

Bonnie never describes herself as needy or even sad. She simply says she "was coming off a bad relationship". An upsetting time for her maybe but she didn't describe herself as devastated or anything close. She never really mentions her emotional state. If the relationship was bad perhaps she was even happy or relieved it was over. I didn't see her as needy, scattered maybe. For Amber after months of intensive competition and stress she loses a once in a lifetime position. While crying she talks about trying not to care. She's also carrying around that chip that nobody likes her so she has to always be right. She is a fighter but vulnerable as well. I always found House descripition of Wilson's need for needy as extremely lacking in facts. For instance, if he had to just recently grill Bonnie on the origin of her relationship with Wilson because he didn't know the circumstances, then exactly what was he basing his needy description of her all these previous years? Maybe the fact that she wanted her husband home with her instead of off with House. Me thinks House protests too much.

Following up on filex1410's "need for needy" train of thought - Wilson could be attracted by something besides Amber's social/emotional short-comings. She's arrogant and acerbic, but ferociously intelligent and who knows - just off-the-wall fun to be with. IOW, very much what Wilson liked about House when they first met. That puts a different spin on "House-like". Amber had a big professional disappointment - that's not necessarily needy or emotionally dependent. She must be somewhat resilient, to have this gotten this far in medicine. Women in predominantly male professions often strive to be right, to be better than others. Even if Amber mistakenly substitutes being right for being liked, there's no clue she wants - or would welcome - any attempt to "fix" her. House certainly doesn't. She probably prides herself on not being dependent on anyone else. Wilson deeply misses pre-infarction, pre-Vicodin House, so he may see that in Amber. Sure, he tries to "improve" House; but I think he's also trying to get back the guy House used to be. "Don't Ever Change" could have been Wilson's silent mantra, as House became what he is now.
