Howie Gordon (born January 7, 1971), was a contestant on the sixth season of the American version of the CBS reality show Big Brother and is currently appearing on the seventh, all-star edition of the show

Gordon is currently in the process of moving from Florida to Los Angeles.

Gordon was born at Illinois Masonic Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. He was a typical child and enjoyed the outdoors and animals. In the summer before 8th grade, he injured his hand playing with fireworks; his father had warned him the day before to be careful with explosives. Most of his life he lived in Chicago. In the late 1970's and early 1980's, his mother and father took him to California and Florida.

In his early 20's, Gordon attended Southern Illinois University as a student. During this time he also became a stripper for a short period of time. A year later he attended the University of South Florida in Tampa. After college, he went into sales. Ultimately he hopes to become a meteorologist.

Big Brother 6

In 2005 Howie was one of fourteen contestants in the American Big Brother 6 reality TV show, who were confined in a house together, with the objective of outlasting one another. At the beginning of each week, there was a new Head of Household (HoH) determined who was able to nominate other members for removal at the end of the week. After each nomination, a vote was held amongst contestants to select one nominee to remove. In this, the sixth season of the show, known as the Summer of Secrets, each contestant had a secret partner, that they knew before the show, who would work together on the show. If two partners had made it to the end, the prize money would have been $1,000,000.

Howie's entered the show with his long time friend, Rachel Plencner, as his secret partner. He was evicted on day 68. It was Maggie who was ultimately selected as the winner of the $500,000 prize.
