In Big Brother 10 (US), Keesha was best remembered for her confrontational personality, close friendship with Memphis Garrett, her iconic birthday in the house where she had a fight with Jessie Godderz, and known for starting The Coven alliance along with Libra Thompson and April Dowling which dominated the first few weeks of the game by orchestrating Brian Hart's blindside for overplaying and the eliminations of the two people that were linked up with him Steven Daigle and Angie Swindell. However, after April won Head of Household, she wanted to target Keesha's friend Memphis, but Keesha and Libra grew irritated by Jessie's arrogant personality and after a fallout between her, Libra, and Jessie, Keesha and Libra flipped on April's plan, siding with Memphis' Renegades alliance in blindsiding Jessie. Keesha stuck with The Renegades as the alliance dominated the rest of the game despite losing Libra during Week 5 and this put her in a strong position to win at the end. However at the Final 4, Dan Gheesling and Memphis saw Keesha as a bigger Jury threat than the sole remaining outsider Jerry MacDonald, and she was betrayed by Memphis when he cast the sole vote to evict her, making her the sixth member of the jury. Keesha also won the $25,000 America's Choice Jury Prize at the live finale.
She returned in Big Brother 22 (US) 12 years later where she reaffirmed her friendship with Memphis and aligned and even developed friendships with fellow old school players Janelle and Kaysar . Keesha was initially safe for the first few days until the Safety Suite Competition was unleashed, where HOH Cody Calafiore's initial targets Janelle and Kaysar were saved when Kaysar won the Safety Suite and saved Janelle. This caused Cody to target Keesha instead due to him not knowing who she was as a person. After failing to win the first POV of the season, Keesha did a poor job at campaigning to save herself, having Janelle and Kaysar try to campaign for her. Unfortunately, Janelle and Kaysar were unable to get the votes to save her and Keesha was evicted by a unanimous 13-0 vote, placing 16th.
