The relationship between House and Cuddy has long simmered in House, MD. Is it going to boil over?
“There is not a thin line between love and hate. There is, in fact, a Great Wall of China with armed sentries posted every twenty feet between love and hate.” Dr. Gregory House articulates his feelings vehemently when his best friend Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) asks him in an early season one episode (“Occam’s Razor”), “What’s going on between you and Cuddy?” (Even so early in the series history, Hugh Laurie really nailed the internal struggle still at war within House's heart and soul.)…

I definitely think there is much more to come. This little twist and zest added to the series really gives it a sexy flavor. Will they or won't they? One step forward, two steps back. A long, secret glance, an uncertain passion that reveals itself in the most uncanny moments. But I think eventually something will have to come to a head. Either one or the other will move on, or House will grow up. One thing I find strange is the fact that he's managed to have relationships in the past. Nothing too detrimental has really occurred since then. His relationship with Stacy ended in grief but he was able to move on. I find this dance of his with Cuddy sometimes frustrating in the since that I think he's too skittish, unbelievably so. Yes, he kissed her, but it was in a moment of emotional turmoil where there was no chance he might be rejected. I think a bigger issue will arise if he does meet someone else, or revert back to Cameron (Oh God no) that he's more of man then than he is now. House is an emotional adolescent but he's not an imbecile. I think he is quite capable of reigning in his cowardliness and going for it.

This is to madfrenchie:
Hello! I read your post about House/Cuddy. I agree the attraction adds a lot of zest. I however, feel that it is love. Whether the writers will let it flourish is another matter.
This is how I look at it, in season 1, House is still grieving the loss of his mobility and life as he knew it, as well as losing Stacy. Cuddy tells him when Cameron wants a date as the condition for her return, "It's been 5 years, you've mourned (?) long enough." When he lets Stacy go in season 2, I think he is finally able to give closure to that relationship.
I have written (often) that I think Cuddy has loved him since college, but the timing was never right. I think she is very attracted to him, all aspects of him; his mind, physically, his crazy humor, his strength of will and his ability to fight for what he believes is right. She has rules she must follow. How free he must seem to her.
How House sees her is also complex. She is his boss, confidant, nemisis, sexual fantasy, 'mother' and anchor. IMHO, I think House has done a lot of soul searching and has come to a place in his life where he is looking
for a life. Cuddy, to me, is all that he could want. She is smart, beautiful, understands him, fights back and to quote Wilson, "Is the only one who could put up with you."
I may be in the minority, but I want to see the writers give this couple a fair chance. They are so interesting and complex, they could make it work. I think lazy writing is what kills romances on shows, not the fact that the couple ends the tension and gets together.
Thanks for reading.

Sera G. I agree whole heartedly with you. IMO, Cuddy and House do love each other and their interactions are always fun to watch. I can not see why the fundamental way they deal with each other would have to change if they became a kind of couple. Getting together is not going to magically make them whole, and completely self assured in their personal lives. It would be up to the writers to keep them at odds with each other in the many different aspects of their lives. To me their new relationship could just make things more interesting if the writers did it correctly. I would love to see occasional glimpses of them happy together but it would have to be spiced up with a lot of good natured bickering and snarking. Loving, commited couples do not have to be boring, lovey dovey, types. They can be complex, 3 dimensional people with their own opinions and agendas. One couple that comes to mind is the Tracy and Hepburn characters from the movie Adams Rib. They fought, they bickered and they were on opposit sides of a very important legal case, but you knew they loved each other and were commited to their relationship. I think Huddy could have that type of relationship and I think the House writers are talented enough to pull it off.
129 - Sera G
Hi, Lisa G
Thanks for the comment. I agree with all that you said, especially that couples are not lovey dovey all of the time. That would be revolting on TV and in life.
That was the hallmark of the classic movies from the '40s; snappy dialog, characters who were attracted to each other, but were able to argue their own viewpoint. I agree with Tracy/Hepburn, also Hepburn and Cary Grant. Did you ever see any of the Thin Man? Great fun all.
Women in those movies were smart, mouthy and gave it right back to the men. The men loved it!
I am still enjoying House as to me it THE best written/acted show on TV. I can't wait until Jan. 19. House is really the only show I look forward to anymore.
Happy New Year. Hope 2009 is better for the world.
130 - Laurie
I don't think anyone has mentioned the scene at the end of "Humpty Dumpty" where House says, "By the way, Cuddy, everyone seems to think we've slept together. Think there could be anything to that?" As he leaves her office, the camera cuts to Cuddy smiling at him fondly, as if having a happy memory - then Stacy glares at her. Wonderful moment.
131 - Lisa G
Sera G
I forogt all about the Thin Man movies. Another good example of how two people can be a couple and still be a lot of fun to watch. I saw them about 15 years ago,and they were great fun. I think I'll have to rent them soon. As you have said its up to the writers to keep Huddy interesting and they should look to the movies from the 40s to see how its done. They did have great dialog, as does House.

AWESOME ARTICLE! i love reading your articles because they get so in depth. I agree with everything completely. No one can deny that there isn't tension between House and Cuddy. Cuddy was always meant for House in a strange way and House the same. I love to watch the two of them. The writers and directors are doing an exceptional job with building all of the tension and throwing in all the slight, hidden facts of their attraction for each other in their actions or dialoge. I think that Lisa Edelstein and Hugh Laurie are fabulous and portray the unusaul relationship perfectly.
So hats off to the David Shore, the writers,Katie Jacobs, Hugh Laurie, and Lisa Edelstien. House and Cuddy really make the show amazing.
Thanks again Barbra

Barbara,
I cannot tell you how long I've searched for the perfect article explaining the House/Cuddy relationship to full extent! Hugh Laurie and Lise Edelstein have such chemistry on set, I was almost disappointed that they weren't dating in real life! Anyway, I am quite a House fan and from the beginning of the show, I thought there was/could be some romantic tension between the two. After the series and characters developed a little more, there were big hints dropped that said there was a deep (if not complicated) affection after all.
The times when House monitors Cuddy's fertility cycles, I thought all along that it was just House being the nosy and stubborn House he is. I honestly had no clue that it was because he actually cared (kind of crude to say, huh?).
But it's apparent that they really do care for eachother, even if they're too shy, scared or stubborn to admit it. However I do agree that they shouldn't have that "happily ever-after" ending, because it would crash the meaning of the very real relationship that took place before. My vote is for a future one-night stand ;-)
Again, I do appreciate you writing this article for all the fans who are seeking a flashback with some juicy details about this relationship as we wait for January 19th. I applaud your articles and hope to read more in the near future.

Season 2, no reason, when house gets shot. When the man who shot him is moved into the same room he imediately jumps up and rips all of his cords and wires off. He leaves the room saying to cameron, "I'm talking to Cuddy." Cameron insists that he lie back down but he continues to walk to Cuddy's office. As soon as he enters her office she apologizes for putting the man who shot him in the same room. When he starts reducing his morfine she accuses him of upping his morfine. When he told her that he was reducing it she thought he meant about the surgery but he said that where he got shot hurt and his leg didn't. She tells him to go back to his room before he rips out his stitches and she has to chain him to his bed. She obviously cares about him not getting hurt enough to chain him to a bed in the hospital. She ends up hand-cuffing him to the bed rail when his stitches come out and he passes out.

In season 3, airborne, Cuddy gets sick and House seems very concerned. He does everything in his power to cure her, and eventually he does. At the end of the episode, he tells her that she ows him but she says she doesn't. She claims that she was never really sick, that it was just the mass hysteria, but House says that she's mean and walks away. She replies It's how i compensate for being weak, and soft.

!!!***READ THIS***!!!!
In season 4, houses head, when house had a heart attack and cuddy had to give him mouth to mouth and wilson had to do CPR. As soon as he woke up she said he was an idiot. (He had taken pills to try to remember something to save a patient). He obviously scared her. When he tried a different thing to remember he ended up passing out in a special covered bathtub at the hospital. She was there and helped him to sit up and when he stood up he barfed all over her shoes :) Later that night she made him go back to his apartment and sleep. She stayed on his couch to make sure he didn't leave.

OMG
You are a wonderful writter and had said every litle thing i think!!!!!
Please continue with your theories, and i will keep reading them!!!!

To the brilliant author of the article, I felt goosebumps when I read the article. I guess it is because the observations we audiences have seen in those episodes are highlighted and given much explanations furthermore, in your article, adding more meaning and sense to the "thing", mysterious thing between House and Cuddy.
Well I guess it really fits, it's like equivalent exchange. They compliment each other in many ways. Such a wonderful pair. I just love it.
And I wouldn't mind commenting if you post more of your articles. =)

I LOVE your blog/article Barbara. I agree with you about Cameron and Stacy's roles in his life at those times as do I agree with you about Cuddy's. I agree that I think this is the beginning of the exploration for them.
I am a Huddy and I am in that population that thinks they have the great romance. The one that spans time that starts as friendship, grows stronger and closer that at some point they realize that they are all they need. They have that magnetism that even when they don't like each other they still gravitate towards each other. They have a lot of passion towards each other that comes off in a myriad of ways both positive and negative.
I personally believe that a one night stand would just be the anti-climax to what is Huddy. It would serve no purpose but to ruin them I think. 20 years of build up to just have one passionate night of sex seems like a huge letdown and just not on track for something as great as their potential. If they were to have one night, imo, it would be the catalyst of something much greater and bigger than what they have had so far, not the culmination of the past now over.

I am not a frequent blogger, but I have been hooked on House and was not very pleased when I found out. When this show aired, my friend (at the time, now girlfriend) was in LOVE with this show. Knowing very little about it, I actually kind of hated it. I thought that the premise was very dumb, and that the supporting cast was awful. In my eyes, I thought that House was a self-made "genius" who sat in a room, slinky-in-hand, playing word games to come up with miraculous solutions, while his less-than-intelligent staff ran about spouting inane suggestions for lack-luster results. It seemed so cookie-cutter and dry that when I actually began to watch multiple episodes, I was much more drawn to House's character than I had previously thought.
Many of you have outlined the fact that this is primarily a show about House and that while supporting actors have their own story arcs, much of the plot is erected to sustain House's character. What I think hasn't been given much attention is the reasons for success; the reason House may act 'freely' in his own work space, the reason Cuddy and Wilson must serve as a filter or must continually challenge/repair things he does (despite his inability to actually be fired); the obstacles House must overcome in order to continue doing what he loves; the environment which the show exists; the pluralisms, the dualisms, the villains, the heroes, and all other literary angled prisms. I think that the Barbara/Orange/JL/Melissa brain-trust was completed with the addition of Lisa G's comments. When all of your observations are added up, at the end of the show, it is evident that House and Cuddy will not be together.
Allow me a qualification or so. The reason this show works is due to the brilliantly-crafted environment which the writers have built for their actors/characters. House's expertise and track record draws in cases from all over the country and beyond making him a hot commodity which Cuddy must protect because it earns the Hospital money and further attention (and earns us more interesting cases). She must do this because of the $100 million they lost from losing Vogler (additionally outlining her respect for Dr. House and his success rate). Her overall goal is to continue helping people and saving lives and having the finances to do it, meaning the hospital cannot be sued from one of House's mistakes enabling her to continually getting on his case for his rather enigmatic diagnostic processes (as well as his ability to either hide the diagnosis or be wrong about it until the last 10 minutes of the show).
Wilson is important because House really has no home life. He practices guitar, piano, singing, and listening to records at home (oh, and let's not forget his TiVo). His home is really a hotel; an escape from the stresses of the job he so loves. House has everything he needs at the hospital: food (occasionally stealing Wilson's money for lunch, or his lunch directly); friends (read: supporting cast); an opponent or conflict (dieases and conditions, only interesting cases, or occasionally, Cuddy, when she assigns him to Clinic duty); multiple love interests (Cameron, Cuddy, Underage-Girl, Amber, Ex-Wife, and anyone he meets during Clinic hours); drama (read: supporting cast); dissent (medical rules); and on frequent occasion, the writer's will throw in a monkey wrench (Amber, Wilson, Cuddy, P.I. etc.). Aside from the digression, Wilson needs to figure House out as much as House needs to figure out everything. This fits his nice guy persona (which also adds to the dynamic of their friendship) because he wants to help house as much as he wants to be a doctor. If that wasn't the case, why did he come back?
For House to engage in a relationship would detract from the overall web of brilliance the writers have created. Unfortunately for them, we are all needy, so they need to go somewhere with the story arcs they have created. JL mentioned his/her relative's interest in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I think this idea is important here. She had multiple love interests, but overall, the writers struggled with whom they thought should be considered 'the one.' While we have an almost identical situation here (Cameron, Cuddy, Ex-Wife, arbitrary women) we know that there is a strong emotional connection between the trifecta (Wilson-Cuddy-House). While they all feel for each other, I feel that the writers understand that to tie any of those three together in a relationship would be disastrous for the environment which they had created for the actors to thrive in. Eventually, someone would have to leave, and for good.
In the end, Buffy found someone she shouldn't be with, but was with anyway. She couldn't be with Angel; she was sworn to destroy Vampires. She couldn't be with Spike, she was sworn to destroy Vampires... but oh wait just kidding. To me, that was a last ditch effort to resolve unresolved tension created by the absence of Angel. As the story currently stands, House will not end up with Cuddy because of the enormous responsibility it would be to not only care for Cuddy and save his work environment (to the way he likes it, anyway) but also to raise a child. It is too much stress and will probably lead to his resignation. He will not end up with Cameron because of what it will do to the current hospital's employee situation, with the potential of House being fired, or all three (House, Cameron, Chase) eventually quitting.
What I project will happen is the resolution of the tension by some amazing happenstance (read: Stripper Cuddy) or other and that they will both agree that their relationship could not survive in their work environment; tears, hugs, resolution.
What the writers cannot tell us is who else they may introduce in the cast. One blogger had mentioned that the cast is getting a little bloated. Well, if I know anything about stories that have a host of single people in them, they eventually find mates. And in my assumption, if no one ends up together (aside from the Cameron/Chase Foreman/13 connections) this means that more people will be introduced into the show as it grows in seasons and awards. The current cast will serve as buffers to be sure that their counterparts are really sure that these newcomers are the people they wish to be with. If they find their mates in the current cast, the show will end. If they do not, then the show may continue. So let me amend my earlier statement: Cuddy and House will only be together at the demise of the show. If the writers continue to love the House we all love, they will not end up together.
Additionally, I wish to address the reactions bloggers have had to the way House acts towards people (co-workers, love interests, friends, superiors, etc). What brought me so much into this show was my likeness to Dr. House. While I am not a brilliant diagnostician (being a musician, you can only diagnose your own mental short-comings) I am, on regular occasion, an asshole with good intentions. I am most times brutally honest with disregard to its consequences and am a believer in the greater good. I'm also an agnostic, which is closer to what I believe House is, revealed in his conquest to prove the believers wrong and typically coming up short in his attempts. As such, I can assure those who say that either Cameron, Cuddy, or Ex-Wife will get back with House when I say: it won't happen. The way he treats people is a reflection of whichever episode he reveals that he wanted to be just like Janitor-Doctor -- respected when needed, ignored and hated when not-- so he will act accordingly, and will be unhappy so long as he knows he cannot have Cameron, Cuddy, or Ex-wife, and will continue to eat up his existence with asinine, plot-less women.
I wanted to thank Barbara Barnett for her astute observations and her ability to attract intelligent intellectuals who love dissecting American literary masterpieces (should I go so far?) simply for the fun of it. This has been a great read, and I'm glad I gave House another spin for reasons like these.

I'm not sure what the writer's are going to do going forward but I think they have very consistently set up the House/Cuddy relationship as one between a child and parent. House's father abused him and his mother didn't do enough to protect him, so he is naturally drawn to a woman who does protect him. Cuddy stands up for House and puts herself between him and male authority figures who want to punish him. She never lets him down.
He constantly pushes her boundaries, teases her and gets upset when she doesn't pay attention to him. He is childish and vulnerable. Cuddy feels responsible for his leg. He fills the need that Cuddy has to mother someone. This is why the prospect of Cuddy having a real baby is so threatening to House. He doesn't want to share her attention, or worse lose it to a baby.
House tries to sabotage Cuddy's search for a sperm donor, any date she may have and when she decides to adopt, he tells her what a bad mother she would be. When she first tells him she is adopting (in the baby store) he just looks completely crushed. Same look when Cuddy is with the baby at the end of "Joy to the World". She looks radiantly at the baby and he looks like someone has punched him--she's not looking at him anymore, her focus is on a new baby.
Finally, I love when he knocks over her lamp in her office while telling her she will hate having a new baby. This is such a jealous toddler move on his part. He wants her attention, and he wants it all for himself.

This is to Jennifer, post #139.
I agree with your comments, completely. The relationship between House/Cuddy has taken 20 years to build to this point. I agree, a simple night of hot sex (as much as I would enjoy that) would be the true end. It would be too easy for them to then attribute their feelings to hormones, lust, etc. What they have is too important to both of them and I think they are starting to realize that.
I want to see the writers take these two on an adventure that would develop what is real and strong between them. If that means delaying the physical a while longer, so be it. I must be VERY old fashioned, but I never thought sex was the logical next step after a kiss, especially one that caught them both so off guard as the one shared at the end of "Joy."
My hope for 2009 is for the writers to continue to allow House/Cuddy to explore what they really feel; to let them have moments that are loving(not necessarily physical, at this time, although a kiss or two would be just fine) as well as combative (that is how they often relate) and genuine.
I will be heartbroken if they have brought us to this point and then just ignore the "anvil sized clues" and things that have been said and examined:
All of the teasing, flirting, looks and body language throughout the first 4 seasons.
1. Cuddy alone holding House's hand ("Wilson's Heart")
2. Cuddy has given serious thought to what a relationship with House would be.
3. House rushing to her home while "I'm in love with a girl..." plays in the background.
4. That KISS! That to me was when the blinders came off for both of them. They had to acknowledge what was between them. You can't pretend those feelings aren't real. And the audience can't forget what was stirred at that moment.
Thanks for reading. Sera G.

I wanna do Cuddy
144 - Ma
Your artical was simply amazing. I just started to watch house and im still at the beggining of the 3rd season and unfortunatly i still cant watch the 5th season because I do not live in the US. Since the biggining I am absolutly intrested in the House- Cuddy relashionship and I think you reminded me of the best moments till now ! True is that Stacy and House were also a very intresting story an I began to hope that they would be toghether but then the Relashionship between Cuddy and Houes got more intresting and pulled me back!
Really Loved the artical!
145 - jojogrl
thanx sera-g for remindin us of the song that was playing when house almost asked cuddy out. it sigfnifies alot!house is in love with cudy. i have just fully come to this conclusion. but we all know house. he has a messed up way of showing emotion. although i love the house cuddy dynamic, i feel like house would just eventually ruin the relationship no mater how much he grows as a person. just because two people love each other and should be together, doesn't mean they can. its like a tragic love story. you keep hoping the lovebirds will get together, but we all know it is doomed in the end. sad, but romantic. maybe that is cuddy's and house relationship in the fewest words possible.
146 - Kyrpio
Hi! Just found the link to this on the Fox website, I will get round to reading all the articles :)
Barbara - thank you for the insight to the House Cuddy relationship! I think a lot of what I'm thinking has already been said on this page, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents anyway!
I admit I've been a House/Cuddy shipper from the start, even when Stacey reappeared, and despite his 'dates' with Cameron. I really appreciate the look at some of the telling moments between them over the course of the series, and would like to add one of my favourite moments between them, which is when he goes to Cuddy for morphine, and Cuddy questions whether hes in pain, and he drops his pants to say that he 'swear(s) there was a thigh muscle there'. Despite her obvious shock, not to mention guilt as she's the one who authorised it's removal, she still gives him a placebo knowing it's just him missing Stacey. I think this whole situation is very telling about their relationship; Cuddy knows how House's emotional pain manifests itself, House knows how to spark Cuddy into action (guilt trip, anyone?), Cuddy's not afraid to deceive House if it makes him learn something about himself, and House trusts Cuddy - he didn't go to his handpicked team, or to Wilson.
There is noone who spars with House quite as Cuddy does, no-one who better tempers his impulsive side. As Scully says in the x-files; 'Chance meeting your perfect other, your perfect opposite - your protector and endangerer'; I really think that House and Cuddy encapsulate this quote (although, of course, Wilson shippers would argue differently...). I would love to see the writers tackle this relationship, they do such a great job and know the characters so well, I'm sure they'd do them justice and not compromise either in favour of the other. I am happy, however, for them to keep going as they are - the banter between the two characters is some of the funniest dialogue in the show. I am a fan who likes being in the hands of the writers, avoids spoilers, and enjoys the ride for what it is... as long as I get to analyse and discuss it afterwards ;-)
147 - Sera G
Hello,
A comment to Kyrpio, welcome. This is a really wonderful spot. The articles are beautifully written and the discussion thought provoking.
I agree with all that you said about House/Cuddy except when you wrote that you are "happy for them to keep going as they are..." I would have agreed with you if not for the developments of season 5. Seasons 1-4 I figured the writers were just teasing us with the banter, innuendo, etc. and that they would never act on the attraction between them. I thought the storyline would be dropped when nothing further occured after House gave the IVF injections and Cuddy didn't ask him to be a donor. During season 3 he interrupts her dates, shows up at her home, calls at all hours. Again, dropped, and we are teased that Cuddy and Wilson attempt dating. Season 5, those tricky writers throw me for a loop, again! The kiss and the feelings revealed from BOTH of them can't be ignored of forgotten imho. I am willing to have the writers take their sweet time (they will anyway) getting us somewhere, but feel it would not be fair to bring us to this point and not honestly explore what is and could be between them.
I really enjoyed reading your comments and hope you write again.
Thanks for reading, Sera G
Hello to jojogirl,
Thanks for your comment, also. Realistically, you are probably right, House is too distrustful and used to playing his games to make a relationship work...in the real world, but since this is fantasy, in MY fantasy, I think he is considering it. I think after 5 years since his breakup with Stacy and the 5 years of the series, enough time has gone by that he might feel emotionally more stable to try again. My take on the character is that he is not so one dimensional: i.e. too "messed up" and would "ruin the relationship." It is probably not fair to compare novels to television, but I feel as if I'm reading a novel with this show, thanks to the deep, textured writing. I think the writers are extremely skilled at making us hate House one minute and break our hearts the next. He is not stupid, nor is he dead to his feelings, anymore, (see comments above). I don't, nor have I ever felt that House was a tragic figure, doomed. I think he tries, fails and will try again. At least, I hope so.
I also think they are smart to make Wilson and Cuddy his intellectual equals (sort of) and understand him very well. If anyone "gets" House, it is Cuddy. She is very in tune with him, imo. If House decides that he wants to make a go of it with Cuddy, I think she is smart, strong and expert enough to deal with and understand him and his games. She loves the games, too.
Anyway, since we don't know what will happen, that is how I spend my time imagining the "what ifs..." of the show.
Thanks for reading. Sera G

Welcome to all of my new readers. Sorry for my absence the past few days. I've been chained to my desk working on a new article. And of course dealing with the holidays.
Your insights and deep thought are all terrific, and why this space has really become one of the best places on the 'net to discuss House.
Will House be allowed some happiness? He certainly hasn't had any this season. It's been a tough year for him in a lot of respects. He does deserve a bit of happiness, and may he can find some temporary solace in trusting Cuddy with his heart.
I just can't see it being long-term. And if he's happy, that woundedness that we all find so beautifully tragic may vanish.
I'm watching Occam's Razor and House and Cuddy's encounter in her office--their argument. "This is fun," she says to him. "you think of something to make me miserable; I think of something to make you miserable. It's a game and I'm going to win, because you're already miserable." Then Wilson immediately runs into House and asks him
"Do you have a thing for her? Because the only people who can get to you are..." then he cuts her off with the thin line comment.
See this game began so long ago. Gotta love it.

OMG,
I loved reading these comments and was wondering how we could get the writers of our beloved House to incorporate our ideas and fantasies about how we invision the Huddy relationship?
Every comment I had was shared and it is amazing to me that there are so many of us on the same page!
Thank you Babara for your insightfulness and thank you fellow fans for your input...
I will be joining you often and with anticipation of the new season.
Will touch base after the new season begins

Why do so many people believe the show’s dynamic will change dramatically if House and Cuddy become a couple? Granted, there will be a honeymoon period " probably ending with a medical argument -- but if you ignore the sexual aspect of their relationship, House and Cuddy already act like an “old married couple.” Their body language is comfortable, their witty repartee is balanced with serious concerns … even when they fight, it’s as respected equals. These are two strong people; they’re not going to become bland automatons just because they finally admit their feelings for each other. As much as I like the series, I think the whole Huddy soap opera is getting old; before long, I won’t CARE if they get together. One way or another, I hope the writers wind it up soon and move on to explore other character relationships. Thanks for the great articles!

I think you not only hit the nail on the head, but quite possibly are secretly a writer for the show and just shared vital and confidential information with the masses...either that or you're a genius
