In Big Brother 2 (US), Mike was best known for being first houseguest in Big Brother history to win a Head of Household competition, forming a showmance with Krista Stegall and friendship with Will Kirby, and creating the Chilltown alliance. In Week 4 however, he was evicted by a 4 to 1 vote, becoming the first male houseguest in Big Brother history to be "evicted" and become a member of The Jury. He finished in 8th place, and was the fourth member of the jury. He voted for Will to win.
In Big Brother 7 (US), he and Will revived their Chilltown alliance from season 2 and managed to control most of the game, blatantly lying to most of the houseguests by forming fake alliances and orchestrating their evictions. He had a showmance with Erika Landin, for whom he claimed to have no true feelings and only used to get further in the game. For these reasons, Mike is generally known as one of the most notorious villains in the show's history. Despite Will's eviction at the final four, Mike managed to make it to the final two and win the season in a 6 to 1 jury vote.
Entering Big Brother 14 (US) without Will, he became a coach to the new players. He was aligned with Frank Eudy who was his Dr. Will replacement. When the coaches had the opportunity to return to the game Mike was the only coach to chose not to return, but was forced to return as the other coaches opted to. In Week 6, his teammate/ally Ian Terry managed to orchestrate his elimination. Mike was evicted during the first round of the first Double Eviction by a vote of 5-2, making him the second coach to get evicted, placing 10th, and missing the jury stage for the first time in his Big Brother career.
