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 particlar April Lewis.

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 Pierzina andKaysar Ridha .After reaching the final five in "Big Brother 6", Howie was one of the eight housemates that America voted into the Big Brother house to be part of "". Howie was evicted when George became HoH and joined
