[edit] Big Brother 6

In 2005 Howie was one of fourteen contestants in the American Big Brother 6 reality TV show, who were confined in a house together, with the objective of outlasting one another. At the beginning of each week, there was a new Head of Household (HoH) determined who was able to nominate other members for removal at the end of the week. After each nomination, a vote was held amongst contestants to select one nominee to remove. In this, the sixth season of the show, known as the Summer of Secrets, each contestant had a secret partner, that they knew before the show, who would work together on the show. If two partners had made it to the end, the prize money would have been $1,000,000. Howie entered the show with his long time friend, Rachel Plencner, as his secret partner. He was evicted on Day 68; Rachel on Day 54. Fellow housemate Maggie won the series, and Howie voted for her to win.
