'Big Brother' contestant's home burns downShe fought hard to overcome the Brigade alliance in the "Big Brother" house until last week, and now Britney Haynes unfortunately will be returning to Little Rock, Arkansas to find her real house damaged from a fire. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that Britney's rental home - which she shared with (oft-mentioned) fiance Nick Grisham - was set ablaze when a small grill in the backyard ignited the grass nearby, followed by a trash can and then the home itself. The fire was described as "fully involved" by the paper. Tonight marks the 12th season finale of the show, in which Britney will vote for someone to win the $500,000 prize (her best friend in the house, Lane, is still in the running). Grisham and her family will break the news to Britney after the finale. She has been sequestered in the "jury house" since being voted off this past Thursday. Grisham's mother lawyer told the Democrat-Gazette, "She can't do anything. The final show is tonight and it's live. There's no sense in her knowing." |

do I remain with a washed up script or do I move on too a better script.
Hi there, simply became aware of your blog via Google, and found that it is really informative. I'm going to watch out for brussels. I'll appreciate if you continue this in future. Lots of other people might be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
I am so sorry to hear about Brittney and her fiance loosing their home. I hope they had renter's insurance. However, I'm hoping for a Brittney & Lane happily ever after!!
I think you all need to get a life! You are all a bunch nuts for watching such garbage no wonder the world is going to hell!?
Rachel and Brendan were so nauseating it was sad. Maybe the "After Dark" version told a different story, but the likely deserved whatever they got from the other house guests. On the bright side, that's one relationship that won't last past the finale!!
BBAD was even worse when it came to Brenchel. They literally put on a show every single night once they realized it was 9:00 p.m. in the house and BBAD was on!!! It was pathetic.
They're happily married now, lol...shows what u know
he's out of town too figure out what he's going about her...lets hope he starts a new script with someone else.
Good thing she won 35,000 on the show. I wish her the best.
Everybody on that show had a screw loose. I don't think I would have anything to do with any of them in real life.
KILL YOUR TELEVISION.. LIVE YOUR OWN REALITY.
I love this show. I've watched it for many years and wish it would come out on DVD like Survivor did. I'm sorry to hear about Brittany's house, and I wish her the best of luck with her future. Wish I could watch the show tonight. Unfortunately, I've got to miss it. Good luck guys!
The final show aired last nite. There is no Thursday show.. Hayden won 500,.000 and Lane won $50,000 Britney won America's Favorite $25,000. Some fan you are... Only kidding.
Brittany's house burned down, Lane just bought a new house. Things that make you go hmmmm..... Everything happens for a reason. Great show, Brittany was a good player and even better comic relief. Glad she won the favorite player money, she'll put it to good use.
This was one of the best seasons ever. Great show!
No need to feel sad for Brittany, it wasn't her home. She was RENTING it with her fiancee. Insurance will pay for any damages. Now get back to work and plan on earning 25K, not voting to give it to Brittany.
Btw, I agree with everyone who thinks Brittany is evil and vile.... so is Ragan. Rachel was just annoying but doesn't come close to how evil Brittany is.
Rachel and Brenden did more than their share of bashing on the other hamsters when they were alone in the HOH.
and Tyler, you are happy someone's house burned down? and you say someone else isn't a good person? jeeeesh, look in the mirror dude.
Chuck D, almost nobody watches this show? It was one of the highest rated shows of the summer. Had your head in the sand or do you stay glued to Nickleodeon?
I think this is horrible. I was wanting brit or lane to win the 25,000 or the whole game so I'm glad she won something. Insurance should pay for most of that stuff though. I hope the best for her!!! :))) and the rest of the BB12
hmm what comes around goes around....after all her racheal bashing i couldnt stand watching this show with her on it....all she did is make fun of people, she isnt a good person....but at least nobody was injured in the fire.
I expect we'll see Britney and Rachel in Playboy sooner or later!
They will be the big winners!
Rachel's body is nothing short of hideous with her watermelon boobies. She almost has a deformed look because he boobs are too big. Also, Rachel is not that attractive in the fact. She will never appear in Playboy – maybe Hustler – but never Playboy. Besides, what photographer would want to be subjected to her laugh during an 8-hour photo shoot? Rachel is in for a rude awakening when she reads the boards and talks to her family. She was shocked she didn't win AC last night – she truly thought she was the new "Janelle" and that fans loved her and Brenden. When she comes down to earth, she's going to land hard.
I am very glad she won the 25 thousand!
Kinda makes you feel glad that she won the 25,000 dollars for americas favorite player.
The winner hasn't been announced.... what planet are you on?
@CHT... it's more like what planet are YOU on??? The winner has been announced last night and the comment was added after it was announced! I'm happy she won it too coz she definately will be needing it!
@ Natalie – Oops! I didn't know they decided to announce the winner before the season finale.... I guess I'm not as engrossed into reality tv as you are. Thanks for the correction.
@CHT Last night (Wednesday) was the season finale. Have a lovely day!
Wow, this show is still on?
... and people watch it?
Now that's news!
Ok, talking about karma, that's not even fair or right to say. NO ONE deserves to lose a home whether you like them or not!
I like Britney. She managed to outlast that VILE Rachel, the Neanderthal Brendon and most of the guys. She's smart, funny and I wish her the best. I voted for her to win the 25k. She deserves. Now more than ever. To say it's kharma is horrible. It's a reality show where you play a social and strategic game. Kharma has nothing to do with her house catching on fire. How sad for someone to say that. As for it being "news"...you're on the entertainment page. Maybe you should hang out on the disaster or politics page if you want news.
Actually, Brittany and Ragan are the most vile, evil creatures to have lived in the BB house. Ask anyone who watches Big brother after dark. They have nothing on Rachel and Brendon.
Wow, karma ls the darndest thing......
I couldn't agree more!
There is no Hillcrest, Arkansas. CNN should read the articles they republish a bit better (and although I do feel bad for her, how is this national news worthy?). Her house is in Hillcrest- a historic (upscale) neighborhood in Little Rock, AR.
I'm sure they will tell her "live" on the show so they can get that sympathy ratings boost. These are the situations that make great 'reality' TV.
I was shocked they didn't. Kudos to cbs for having class .
what a thing to have to deal with after you leave the show. I hope all turns out well for her!
chuck D–This is news to me! Millions of people watch this show every week, and this woman is actually a great lady. You seem a bit concerned for someone who doesn't care!
I think you mean, Brittany is an evil coniving little girl.
why is this news? who care who this woman is? almost no one watches this show
With the exception of the 6.2 million people who watched it last week nobody else watches it...
Chuck D – why did you bother to read the article and comment if you didn't watch??! I love the show and so do many others.
it's news because the finale was last night, duh!!!!!
i care. i watch the show. when you have a mishap in life, i hope that your friends and family members won't care. you are rude and dumb.
Tons of people watch and love this show.
i love this show, i didn't like her, but no ones house deserves to be burnt down!
I watch. And her snarkiness made me laugh. It's a game. I don't think she's really a vicious beast. Either way, nobody deserves their house burning down. My heart goes out to Brit.
