Under orders from Cuddy to recruit a new team, House considers forty doctors.[91] Season four's early episodes focus on his selection process, structured as a reality TV–style elimination contest[91] (Jacobs referred to it as a "version of Survivor").[106] House assigns each applicant a number between 1 and 40, and pares them down to seven finalists.[107] He assesses their performance in diagnostic cases, assisted by Foreman, who returns to the department after his dismissal from another hospital for House-like behavior.[107][108][109] While Foreman's return means there are only two open slots, House tricks Cuddy into allowing him to hire three new assistants.[110] He ultimately selects Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson), a former plastic surgeon; Dr. Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn), a sports medicine specialist; and Dr. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley (Olivia Wilde), an internist (nicknamed for her number in the elimination contest).[110][111] In the season finale, Thirteen discovers she has, as she had long dreaded, Huntington's disease, which is incurable.[75]
