Big Brother 6 – Horrible, Harmless Howie
April Lewis originally nominated Howie Gordon and Janelle Pierzina for elimination, but then April won the power of veto and used it to take Janelle off the block and put up James Rhine. James does his best to pull a rabbit out of his hat and escape eviction once again. James tries to convince Janelle that she will go farther in the game with him, and then he tries to convince Ivette that he already has Janelle’s vote and all he needs is her and Beau.
Meanwhile, Howie takes the stance of pointing out to the other houseguests how much more of a threat Veto King James is than him. Howie says, “Hurricane Howie has kind of fizzled out. Now, he is horrible, harmless Howie." Howie’s strategy works, and James is unanimously voted out of the Big Brother house.
The head of household competition is called “Playing It Straight.” The houseguests try to score points by rolling two bowling balls toward a hole. Ironically, Beau takes the early lead in the game. However, horrible, harmless Howie turns out to not be so harmless after all and wins the competition with 12 points.
Julie Chen starts the build-up to tell the houseguests that it is a double eviction week, but Howie figures it out first and ruins Julie’s surprise. After expressing his disappointment that he will have only one day in the head of household room, Howie nominates Ivette and Beau for eviction.
Despite there being an eviction, a head of household competition, and a nomination, CBS still had to struggle to fill the whole hour. Apparently, with all the houseguests being nicer to one another, there isn’t that much to show any more. Filler segments included a visit with April’s husband Matt to get his opinion on some of Howie’s statements. Matt insists “I’m big boned, not fat,” and reassures his dog Pepperoni that Howie really isn’t going to eat him. Other segments involve a visit to the sequester house to see Jennifer and Rachel and
Julie Chen reading supposed questions from Big Brother fans. {l{
