When Mike first signed up to appear in the season 2 of the reality series, Big Brother, he was only 30 years old, living in Los Angeles and the proud owner of a local bar. He captured the title of Head of Household during the first week, but was unable to get far in the competition despite his alliance with Chilltown, of which
Dr. Will Kirby was part. However, during his brief stay in the house, Mike managed to engage in a romantic relationship with his housemate, Krista. Ultimately, he was nominated for eviction and eliminated on week 4, consequently putting him in 6th place.
Mike had far better luck when he returned for the show's special season, Big Brother: All-Stars. He not only made it all the way to the Final Two with
Erika Landin , but also managed to gain the majority of the jury's votes, making him $500,000 wealthier. In the course of the competition, Mike had become Head of Household twice, first during week 7 and then again during week 9, and had only been nominated for eviction once. He and Erika had also developed a romantic relationship, but Mike later claimed that it was all part of his plan to get to the top.
