Big Brother Wiki

Britney Elizabeth Godwin (née Haynes) was a houseguest on Big Brother 12 (US), Big Brother 14 (US), and Big Brother: Reindeer Games.

On Big Brother 12 (US), Britney made close relationships with Lane Elenburg, Monet Stunson, and Ragan Fox, while getting into a rivalry with Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly. However, she was infamously unaware that she was helping The Brigade alliance. When she failed to win the Head of Household at the final four, she became the target for being the only non-Brigade member left. After failing to win the Power of Veto and being informed of the Brigade's existence, Enzo Palumbo cast the sole vote to evict her. She placed 4th and was the 6th member of the jury. On finale night, she won the America's Favorite Houseguest award.

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. 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.

Britney is also 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 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]

  • Britney competed on a Big Brother primetime special of The Price is Right that aired on May 24, 2016.[7] Britney and her partner, Kari, lost their pricing game as well as the Showcase Showdown, and as a result were unable to bid on a Showcase.[8]

Janelle & Britney were eliminated in 8th place.[12]
  • Britney appeared in Big Brother 20 (US) along with Daniele Donato, Derrick Levasseur, Josh Martinez, Paul Abrahamian, and Dominic Briones (off-screen) to celebrate Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo's engagement.
  • Britney, Danielle Reyes and Frankie Grande appeared in the Big Brother 25 (US) premiere, "breaking into" the new house in an attempt to change their fate from prior seasons, but when it backfired they accidentally unleashed the twist of the season onto the new houseguests.

  • Britney competed on the third season of Peacock's The Traitors with fellow Big Brother: Reindeer Games houseguest Danielle.
