> Jedi wannabe Howie Gordon found out the hard way
> that
> on Big Brother 7: All-Stars, the power of evil can
> be
> strong, as his apprentice and this week's Head of
> Household, Chicken George, went over to the dark
> side
> and helped get him evicted. TVGuide.com spoke to
> Hurricane Howie — who is currently residing in the
> sequester house and isn't privy to any info about
> what
> he didn't see on the show, or what has happened
> since
> — about his latest Big Brother stay. Sadly, Howie,
> who
> had a minor scuffle with Mike Boogie on his way out
> the door, wasn't the same chipper fella we talked to
> pre-All-Stars.
> TVGuide.com: Sorry to be talking to you again so
> soon.
> Howie Gordon: [Sighs] I know. I'm in the tropics and
> all, but I'd rather be in the house kicking some
> houseguest ass for sure.
>
> TVGuide.com: What happened?
> Howie: I'm thankful I got as far as I did because my
> alliance [Season 6] was kicking some ass early in
> the
> game, but I think they got a little shaky and there
> were probably some side deals going on. At the same
> time, I was at a tremendous disadvantage because
> going
> into the house as a BB6-er, it was 10 on four, and a
> lot of people had pregame alliances. That was really
> the downfall of this all-star season. It is sad
> because Dr. Will is probably one of the greatest
> players ever — he's very manipulative and he does
> his
> thing — but he had so much help this year. That
> elevated his game tremendously. With pregame
> alliances, they can pretend they hate each other and
> you really can't pick up on things they discussed
> before the show, which is illegal. In a way they
> kind
> of cheated this year. My eviction was a result of
> pregame alliances.
>
> TVGuide.com: Did you have an alliance with Janelle
> and
> the rest of Season 6 going in?
> Howie: No! Janey didn't know I was involved with the
> show until she saw the casting, and then she called
> me. It was confidential — when you were notified of
> All-Stars you were not allowed to tell anybody until
> the casting episode came out. Unfortunately that was
> not [obeyed by] most of the other houseguests. I
> trusted a certain number of people, but they had
> alliances with people before coming into the house,
> and that relationship was stronger than whatever I
> developed in the house.
>
> TVGuide.com: Do you blame George for putting you up?
>
> Howie: I don't. He's a good guy deep down, but he's
> really too stupid to recognize and understand the
> game. He was not going to put me up — he swore twice
> that he was going to keep me safe — but then Boogie
> threatened him in the Red Room right before the
> nomination ceremony. Right now, Boogie and Will hold
> a
> certain power [the coup d'ιtat, though the
> houseguests
> weren't told what this was or what it could do]. My
> understanding of that power is that if you nominate
> them, they can remove themselves from the chopping
> block and at that time say, "This person goes up in
> my
> place."
>
> TVGuide.com: You did seem mad at George, though,
> when
> he put you up.
> Howie: Because the night before he swore he was
> going
> to keep me safe. Janey and I protected him.
> Everybody
> was trying to have him put up as a pawn the week
> before and we said no, we're not going to put you
> up.
> George went back on [his word] because he got
> pressured. He swore on his life twice that he was
> not
> going to put me up, so I took it personally.
>
> TVGuide.com: Not a very Jedi thing to do.
> Howie: It was not a Jedi thing to do. It was the
> downfall of the Jedi alliance. I taught him
> everything
> I knew, and he went to the dark side and became a
> Sith
> lord and he struck me down. I knew Georgie wasn't a
> man of his word. He was in there playing for his
> family and anything at any cost to try to win the
> game. Obviously he is doing a good job since he is
> still in there.
>
> TVGuide.com: What exactly did you say to Mike on the
> way out of the house?
> Howie: I walked up to him and said, "Thanks for the
> sellout." He and Dr. Will promised they were going
> to
> vote to keep me. So I took his hat and threw it and
> he
> said, "You're a real class act, Howie." Tempers were
> flaring, emotions were going, and I got up in his
> face
> and said something like, "Chill Town's word is mush"
> and "Anytime, punk." But it was good for TV. I'm not
> going to just walk out the door like a little wimp.
>
>
> TVGuide.com: Usually it's all hugging and nice. This
> was exciting.
> Howie: Exactly. James was the first one to hug me
> and
> right away I was trying to grab Boogie's hat, but he
> walked away. So I hugged Erika for a second — she
> can
> kiss my ass — and then Georgie started to hug me and
> [apologize] and I'm like, "Yeah, right, George, your
> word means nothing." Danielle was part of my demise,
> but I hugged her. She's a great game player. I
> hugged
> Janey and said my goodbyes to her. Dr. Will just sat
> there.... But I was looking for Boogie the whole
> time.
> I threw his hat, tempers started flaring, James
> broke
> it up and he was saying, "Howie, you are a loser."
>
> TVGuide.com: I was a little worried you were going
> to
> throw a punch.
> Howie: No. I've never hit anybody in my life. Well,
> I've never thrown the first punch. Even if he'd have
> hit me I doubt I would have thrown any punches. But
> am
> I supposed to walk out like I am not mad? I was
> majorly pissed off and I expressed myself.
>
> TVGuide.com: You just didn't seem to be having fun
> this season.
> Howie: Me personally? I had 10 times more fun on Big
> Brother 6. The stress levels were tenfold [on
> All-Stars]. You had some gunners in this game and
> you've got the best players of all time, so you
> don't
> know who to trust. I'll see [on TV] how it all
> unravels, but they've got me thinking that James is
> coming after me. I don't know where Janey's head
> was,
> hanging out with ugly Dr. Will all the time. Until I
> got evicted, I competed in two POV competitions,
> which
> probably lasted five minutes or less; a year ago I
> competed in all except for one and they were a lot
> more fun. I was getting my ass kicked in a lot of
> HOH
> competitions this year. You get rusty if you aren't
> competing all the time.
>
> TVGuide.com: Who came up with the "Big Boy"
> nickname?
> Howie: Dr. Will. I was eating fries and he was like,
> "Big Boy like fries." I can dish it out, but I can
> also take it. I love when people want to rip on me.
> I'm the first one to laugh. I think it is a great
> thing.
>
> TVGuide.com: At the beginning of the season you
> seemed
> obsessed with Dr. Will.
> Howie: He came in [like he was] the greatest and
> most
> notorious thing to hit the Big Brother circuit.
> Getting up close and personal with the guests is my
> way of getting more comfortable, and hopefully they
> get more comfortable with me. Is Dr. Will an ugly
> guy?
> Not by any means, but is he the greatest thing since
> sliced bread, like all these girls wooing over him
> think? Absolutely not. The guy is skinnier than me,
> paler than me, scrawnier than me and almost as
> good-looking as me, so where does that leave him?
>
> TVGuide.com: What did you think of the girls on
> All-Stars?
> Howie: Once again, and for the second year in a row,
> the hottest chick left first — Allison. She was
> coming
> after me, though, so I was happy to see her go.
> Janey
> is hot, but she's like a sister to me. But a
> stepsister, not blood-related. Dani is married.
> Diane
> is cute, nice little petite figure. Nakomis, she can
> basically kiss my ass. She personally attacked me,
> telling people not to joke around with me anymore.
> She
> doesn't do it for me physically, mentally or
> emotionally. Erika, she's attractive for an older
> fossil, but I don't really hunt down cougars. If I
> hunted girls in their mid-thirties like Erika, I
> would
> pick up, like, three girls a day. I like 18- to
> 23-year-olds. That's my demographic because they are
> more of a challenge and more apt to reject you and
> play games with you and tease you. If you do land
> one
> it's like catching lightning in a jar. Erika is
> attractive for a 42-year-old or whatever she is, but
> she's not my cup of tea.
>
> TVGuide.com: When Marcellas left, you said, "See you
> next week." Did you have a hunch you were leaving?
> Howie: I said that every week. This is Big Brother,
> where you never know what is going on. I just meant
> that they were coming for me and that you never know
> what is going to happen.
