Britney returned on Big Brother 14 (US), as a Coach. Although initially in a minority position as she only had one player left in Shane Meaney, she was able to pull through with her excellent social positioning with the rest of the house. However, when the coaches were allowed to enter the game as players in week 3, Britney became a key member of The Quack Pack alliance, forming strong relationships with Danielle Murphree and Ian Terry. Her game came to an end at the final eight after Dan Gheesling managed to miraculously get himself off the block, which resulted in HOH Frank Eudy blindsiding Britney and her allies by putting her on the block. She was evicted in a 4 to 1 vote, with Ian being the sole vote to keep her. She placed 8th and was the second member of the jury.
On Reindeer Games, Britney quickly made amends with Nicole Franzel, her friend with whom she had a falling out with outside the game, and forged an unbreakable alliance with her, along with Big Brother 16 contestant Frankie Grande. With her social relationships and challenge performances, she was able to avoid elimination and take out several physical threats. She also further was the direct reason of Danielle Reyes' memorable elimination. Eventually, Britney was eliminated at the penultimate episode as she narrowly lost to Xavier Prather at the Santa's Showdown and barely missed out the chance to be at the titular Reindeer Games finale.
Britney is known for her snarky sense of humor and quick wit. She garnered widespread attention and praise for her Diary Room commentary, with one of her comments making the Emmys. Her natural ability to make everyone laugh helped her become a fan favorite, and she is also considered by many as one of the show's greatest social players.

Britney Haynes, the hilarious and sometimes naive Pharmaceutical sales rep, was famously evicted in Season 12 by Enzo, Matt, Lane, and Hayden – “The Brigade.” In Britney’s own words, “I got really badly burned… it was not smart.” This fourth-place finisher has learned from her mistakes and is excited to return as a coach. Her plan is to very carefully and deliberately give her team members just the right amount of information. She knows that playing an emotional game isn’t always the best strategy and she is going to make sure that her team isn’t playing too emotionally and sees the big picture. Since BIG BROTHER 12, Britney got married, moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma and bought a house. This 24-year-old newlywed is looking forward to another summer in the BIG BROTHER house and is hoping to make more memories, like her favorite from season 12: “when Kathy got stuck in the caramel.”[2]
