The New Kids on the Block: 13, 26, 6/9 et al
For discussion of the 40 candidates. Please feel free to suggest suitable titles. We'll add individual character threads as needed.

So far, I like scooter and plastic surgeon guy the best. Don't really care about the others. Hate 13.

6/9 is really working working his way into my heart. "I'm not # 6, I'm #9" hee. It's not even the line itself, it's the way he said it. :wub: I also like the plastic surgeon.

I'm loving Scooter, Taub (Plastic Surgeon Guy) and 6/9. I want to kick the arses of 13 and Anne Dudek's character (26?). What is it with this show and their ability to write amazingly annoying women characters? I was peeved that cute number 10 got fired so quickly.

I was peeved that cute number 10 got fired so quickly. He looked like Casey Affleck and it was kind of freaking me out.

Amazingly enough, I am not annoyed with Thirteen. I found her interesting and capable. I expect that to change sometime soon. I want the old guy to stick around.

13 was capable, surprisingly so (so was Amber for that part, about the medicine). I did find 13 reminded me of Cameron in terms of that smugness & that annoyed me, did they really have to do that?

I was expecting to dislike 13 and like Anne Dudek's character, but by the end I'd flipped. AD's character did make me laugh in the beginning, but I'd gotten bored of her by the end (may have just been the way the ep was structured though). 13 dodged House's personal questions, lied (probably) about the "joint" decision (with Cole/Tequila!Mormon)to get the POTW to the treadmill to lie about using the oxygen, and had 2 or so half-good answers in the classroom. Aside from making me picture porpoise porn, I actually liked her. I assumed she was "letting" Tequila!Mormon/26 get credit for the treadmill idea with some kind of tit-for-tat game theory thing in mind, which would be awesome. Plus, I only got intellectual/motivational interest and not :heart: interest between House and she. She actually reminded me of Chase a little. But then I'll probably like whoever ends up staying (and most who get fired), because I'm slutty like that.

I thought 10 was cute, but Kal Penn (6/9) can be pretty damn tasty when he wants to: Evil Nurse Brenda edited to remove picture, per site guidelines. 10/3 @ 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

I've only rewatched a bit so far, but this is what I've got: #1 – woman. Faked out into quitting during washing car. #2 (Heather Fox ) – Eastern European woman. Fired. #6/9 (Kal Penn) – set patient on fire #10 (Jonathan Sadowski) – Mason. Broke into POTW’s home. Fired. #11 (Jason Manuel Olazabal) – wheelchair guy. Faked out into quitting during car wash. #12 – brunette woman #13 (Olivia Wilde) – initial tests on Osama #15a (Melinda Dahl) – twin #15b (Caitlin Dahl) – twin #18 (Edi Gathegi) – Jeffrey Cole. Black Morman. Washed car. #19 – Woman from row D. kept for "non arbitrary reasons" #23 (Kathryn Adams) – Med Student in Human Error, ER doc in Alone. First fired. #24 (Anne Dudek) - Amber, who fakes the others into quitting during car wash. #25 – Brunette in blue sweater who was faked out into quitting during washing car. #26 (Carmen Argenziano) – Scooter. Not a doctor #28 – fired (in Row C) #29 – white man #32 (Meera Simhan) – initial tests on Osama #36 – black man #38 – fired (in Row C) #39 (Peter Jacobson) – plastic surgeon; initial tests on Osama #40 – quit during car wash Unknown #s Andy Comeau

Great list, Poeai. To add - #10's name is Mason. Amber (Ann Dudek) is #24

He looked like Casey Affleck and it was kind of freaking me out. I thought he looked a bit like Patrick Fugit (potw from Whack-a-mole) but he was way too pleased with himself for House to allow him to live--er, stick around. Nobody that young can be smart enough to be that smug--not around House anyway. Can't see him keeping such a spoiled wonderkind around long. I'm loving Scooter, Taub (Plastic Surgeon Guy) and 6/9. I want to kick the arses of 13 and Anne Dudek's character (26?). What is it with this show and their ability to write amazingly annoying women characters? Much word, ff.

I was expecting to dislike 13 and like Anne Dudek's character, but by the end I'd flipped. AD's character did make me laugh in the beginning, but I'd gotten bored of her by the end (may have just been the way the ep was structured though). I think this is pretty close to how I am with it. I expected to like 13 just because I tend to like OW, but I expected her character to be written as harsh and be a bit contrived. I didn't think they really pushed any of it. She felt natural to me. I did enjoy AD's character and I still mostly liked her at the end, but I think that it's a one note character that will bore me. We'll see where it goes, I guess. As it stands right now, I'm still with the prediction that the final three (to allegedly be cut to a finale two) will be OW, KP and PJ, but at least they're giving themselves enough time to at least try to flesh out the more 2D folks.

I had assumed it would be AD, EG, and PJ, but now I'm not so sure, because throughout the summer even when I went through a period of not really caring I kept hearing about Anne Dudek. I'm guessing EG will stick around because House asked all those questions of him, and maybe OW because she obviously has a secret House needs to get at. No one was interrogating AD, or PJ, so who knows if they're at all significant or not? Also, I love the old guy! He's totally going to stick around as a fourth diagnostician, even if he can't do it legally!
