I actually really like Failure!Foreman of S4-5-6? Before that, I always felt like he got kudos and accolades that he didn't really deserve; it never made since for House or Cuddy to think that he was better than Chase or Cameron, because we were watching every case he worked on and he wasn't better than they were, clearly wasn't more successful. I think Cameron was meant to be the junior member of the team, skill wise, the one who maybe wasn't as comfortable in that environment, and even she edged him out as far as cases were concerned (if you go by who actually found cases for them to work on, Cameron is right up there with Chase but most of the tallies I've seen have Chase way ahead, I don't completely buy that because Cameron brought so many cases to the team, and all of them were interesting and I think you have to give her props for that, even though Chase had the most ideas. Although in S3, I think Cameron actually had more correct diagnoses, I could be wrong.

I like that he's licking his wounds, and compromising himself in ways he never thought he would. That was one of the reasons why I really loved Living the Dream, it was 40 minutes of people taking the piss out of Foreman and 5 minutes of him realizing that was a good doctor, he just wasn't where he thought he was.

I agree. He was definitely the most experienced, but they should have figured out before they did that he was sucking every time he took control of the team. He obviously thinks very highly of himself, but I'm glad that not everyone agrees anymore.

I think Chase had the most great ideas, Cameron second, and Foreman third. It seems to me that Foreman was always going against House with the wrong diagnosis.

I'm taking a lot of pleasure in seeing Foreman in this position where he's trying to build himself up as this amazing doctor with all these great things, but it's all a mask. Sooner or later it'll give out on him. I'm enjoying the anticipation.
