The Fellows
House splits the 10 remaining doctors up into two groups to compete head-to-head to diagnose the patient first.
He splits them up:
- "if your sex organs dangle...you're the confederates"
- "if your sex organs are aesthetically pleasing...you're the yanks"
After this initial division he consistently refers to the "confederates" as "the danglers" instead. For example, when Amber wants to change teams, he says it's all right with him if it's all right with the Danglers.
Effectively, he splits the group of 10 into 5 men and 5 women, at least initially. Part way through Amber convinces the Danglers to let her switch teams: making it 6 vs. 4. House announces that this inequity is OK, because one of the Danglers is not a real doctor anyway (this is 26, "ridiculously old fraud", who was revealed in the prior episode as not having a medical license).
