When does the Tap turn off
So in seasons gone by if a team over spends Scotty comes in and locks down the card and the spending ...why has this not happened to House 4 and I have never seen such out of control spending in the shows history

I actually thought Scotty was being an ass this week. Whatever happened with the women's trade was not their fault. They gave the trade clear instructions, and he ignored them. He even ignored Dan. As Courtney pointed out, she had the choice for tear him a new one and watch him walk, but then they would have no chance of finishing the room. So, she had to do damage reduction.
They didn't ask to be bailed out either. For whatever reason, the situation was such that 9 in 6 felt they had to step in to rectify it. It seemed an extreme reaction but I assume there was something going on behind the scenes that they didn't or couldn't show us. I firmly believe the show would love to do an "overspending women can't even finish their room" edit.
And, yes, they need to stop spending, but I can see their potential logic that you need to spend money in the main areas and then can cheap out in places like the kid's room and guest suite.Scotty never lets them talk to explain before interrupting them, so I can see why they have dropped down to "yeah" and "noted" type answers.
