HOWIE DOIN' HOUSEGUESTS?
Howie is having a ball as the new HoH. Mags admits, "Having Howie as HoH is a crap shoot. I don't have any idea who he's going to nominate." Fellow Powder-Puff Ivette is perturbed that she may have blown the pretense of allying with James when she kicked him out of the HoH Competition. Howie thinks "James shot himself in the foot," and that "he ought to feel nervous right now." He confidently confides that the only people in the house who are safe this week are his babes, Rachel and Janelle.

Howie's HoH Room is everything a Jedi could ask for, except for his beloved light saber. His welcome basket includes cupcakes and a pair of new Speedos. Is this the end of Howie swimming in his "tacky 80s underwear"? We are treated to a photo of Howie in his stripping days. All the goodies aside, Howie is a little boy on Christmas morning finding presents under the tree for everyone but him. "Where's my light saber, BIG BROTHER?" He wails.

Thinking about Michael, Eric or Kaysar, the three HouseGuests that could return through the America's Choice vote, Howie, Rachel and Janelle discuss strategy. Rachel advocates nominating Maggie, as they need James and Sarah's alliance just in case Eric returns. Janelle asks why they should do the dirty work by getting rid of James when Maggie's group can do it later. Rachel agrees, saying, "(the) odds are better at screwing (Maggie) than screwing James and Sarah."
