His decision goes down as one of the most boneheaded moves in BB history. Right along with when Marcellus was on the block and didn't use the POV to take himself off.

And to think Rachel threw the HOH competition for him...

OK Folks...the reason Howie was even considered for BB6 and allowed to enter the house was:
A) He is a member of MENSA with an IQ in the top 2% of the USA,
B) He has the strategic genius of a Grandmaster Chess champion,
c) He is an ex-stripper who women (and Beau) would like to look at.

Should anyone be surprised by his nominations?
Oh, the answer to the multiple choice? Anyone who seriously chose A or B should consider applying for the next series. You'll be a shoe-in for BB7! LOL

I disagree with everyone who posted here. Howie was right to nominate who he nominated. He heard and believed that James tried to cut a deal with the other side. James said that Howie and Rachel should be nominated. Howie did not want to spend one or more weeks pretending to James that he liked James and was allied to James. Even when Rachel later tried to change his mind, Howie had enough honesty and integrity to insist on keeping his word. I admire honesty, which is why I have contempt for Kaysar. Kaysar was evicted with a vote of 7 to 1 the week after he promised to keep Eric safe for one week and then broke his promise. Everyone in the house now knows that Howie's word can be relied on. Many reality show contestants over the years participated on other television shows. If he continues playing as honestly as he has been, Howie will have the reputation for honesty that he earned with this week's nominations.

Well said, but here are a few choice quotes that come to mind:

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions"

"Nice guys finish Last!"

"Greed is Good!"

"Reality shows are NOT reality"

Sorry, I just don't buy it.

Can I point out that not one person in the house has been honest!!! They all came into the house telling a lie, and when Kaysar called everyone on their "partnerships" Beau & Ivette still tried to act like they did not know each other .... just like April and Jennifer did. So you can take the whole honesty song and dance and throw it out the window.

dwash3, there is no problem with keeping secrets. But when someone makes a promise, the honest thing to do is to keep your word. Kaysar failed that test and Howie passed that test. Kaysar was thrown out of the house so quickly with so overwhelming a vote (7 to 1) that his strategy clearly failed. He leaves this game with the reputation of someone whose promise means nothing.

The vote was 7 to 1 because Kaysar told his team to vote him out. He did it to save Janelle. The 1 vote was from James who didn't want Kaysar to be voted out unanimously.

What about Eric's promise to have the four guys go to the final 4? That's what started this whole ball rolling! Eric was the first to back out of a deal by nominating Michael. Everything else since then has been a direct result of that first move by Eric.
