My first reaction to this was "Wow, you're still watching?"
I quit at, I think, "Two Stories" this season. I started watching early in S5, backed up to watch S1 and the first few eps of S4, then watched through S6 and the beginning of this one. And I finally hit the wall of, House is a brilliant doctor, but he's a goddamned waste of oxygen as a human being and I don't understand why either Wilson or Cuddy is willing to stand by him. His behavior is inexcusable, and they don't exactly excuse it, but they stay around and let it happen to them over and over and OVER again, and I don't see why. So I scanned ahead to summaries for the next few eps (I was way behind at that stage), saw what was in store, then said "to hell with that" and quit watching.
But the irony is -- given the topic of your post -- I think part of my problem is that I just don't buy the House/Cuddy romance. I seriously felt like S6 was building up toward actually making House/Wilson happen, and then when the plot went "Yay Cuddy!" I think I actually yelled at the TV. I'm not really into slash (in the sense of "subversive homoerotic re-interpretation"), but I honestly feel like the House/Wilson relationship is the real one, and the writers don't have the guts to actually let it happen. They'd rather keep baiting the slashers and having their heterosexual cake, too.
It's a moot point, though. I'm done with the show. House's redeeming qualities have been buried under his sociopathic bullshit, and the entertainment value of that has pretty much worn off for me.
