On Big Brother 6, his secret partner was Rachel Plencner. He was known mostly for his loud mouth and heated arguments with members of The Friendship alliance, most notably April Lewis. Howie was nominated alongside his longtime ally, Janelle during the second half of the second Double Eviction, and when Janelle won the PoV and took herself of the block, Howie stayed on the block. He was evicted when Ivette Corredero cast the tie breaker vote against him. He placed 5th and was the fifth member of the jury.
Howie was chosen by Big Brother fans to return for Big Brother All Stars. He stuck with his Sovereign Six alliance, being the only one of the four to not win HOH. He was also remembered for his obsession with housemate Will Kirby. In Week 7, Howie was betrayed by his "Jedi Padawan" George Allen Boswell, the current HOH, and was evicted during the first half of the first Double Eviction by a vote of 3 to 2, placing 8th and becoming the second member of the jury.
