Big Brother
In 2005 Howie was one of fourteen contestants in the American Big Brother 6. His secret partner in the game was his long term friend Rachel Plencner. Both Gordon and Plencner were part of the popular Sovereign Six alliance that battled with The Friendship alliance throughout the summer. Howie openly expressed his hatred for the other alliance, nicknaming them 'The Nerd Herd,' and often tried to unsettle them in the house, in particular April Lewis. Howie was evicted on Day 68 following a tie break vote from HoH, Ivette. Howie eventually had to choose between two friendship members in terms of who won the prize money, and he voted for Maggie, telling her of his regret that he had to choose between America's two most hated houseguests, instead of their two favourites - his friends Janelle PierzinaJanelle Pierzina
