The southern beauty queen from Arkansas, Britney Haynes, is quickly becoming one of the most popular house guests on Season 12 of Big Brother. She has a deadly combination of looks and biting humor that in my opinion is going to lead her on to other television opportunities whether she is victorious or not. Aside from an overplayed first name, everything about her screams star potential, but not a typical “charismatic idiot” reality show kind of way! (OK, I’ll quit rambling on about the greatness of Britney now…)
For each live eviction Britney makes sure to flash her engagement bling as a sign of love to her fiancé. So who is the lucky guy that gets to do what Lane and Meow Meow can only dream of? Let’s find out about the man who is the envy of pretty much every red-blooded male Big Brother fan right now!
His name is Nick Grisham and he’s a Medical Technologist that hails from Little Rock, Arkansas. Unfortunately the only images I could find of Nick are the two thumbnail-sized pics with Britney you see above. (As you may have notice I have since updated the post with some better photos of Britney and Nick!) But, what I lack in visual imagery I can more than make up for in audio soundery! (Huh?) Check out this insightful, entertaining and sometimes hard-to-listen-to radio interview Nick did with Erika and Lorraine of BBAD Radio. (Big Brother After Dark)
Nick comes in at the 14:15 mark and hangs out for pretty much the rest of the episode. Along with Nick is the gay cowboy turned gay porn star Steven Daigle from Big Brother 10. This is not radio at its finest, but hey, they did land the future Mr. Haynes so there you go!
Britney Haynes fiancé Nick Grisham on Big Brother After Dark Radio with Erika and Lorraine from Blog Talk Radio:
And now for some of the highlights from that chair-squirming sort-of-call-in sort-of-awkward-silence radio interview. If you were unable or unwilling to listen, you get a real sense that Nick is a southern gentleman who’s caught up in the storm that accompanies fame even if it’s just the fame that goes along with being the fiancé of a reality show contestant. Ol’ Nick is very candid and it’s obvious that nearly everything about the show and Britney’s involvement is driving him crazy!
BBAD Radio: Did you happen to hear that a lot of people think that you’re Lane?
Nick: I’ve heard that crap. It’s very far from the truth. I’m not a big fan of Lane if you can imagine.
From that moment, and for the rest of the call-in, you realize that when someone like Britney gets on a reality TV show it affects her friends and family back home almost as much as her. One of the gigglers (that’s what I’m going to call Erica and Lorraine because that’s what they do a great deal of) follows up on his statement.
BBAD Radio: Why is that?
Nick thinks about it for a second then gives his honest answer.
Nick: I’m not a big fan of his constant flirting but being her fiancé I have a right to feel that way.
Britney and Lane and their “brotherly” love:
Yes Nick you do, and I am really feeling for the Arkansas Tech graduate as he endures what has to be a pretty painful chapter in his life. The radio show just gets worse for Nick as he discovers that his mother is on the message board that Lorraine and Erica are reviewing, he receives a drunken prank call from a not so nice John from the “Booze Cruise” and then is introduced to Season 10′s gay cowboy turned gay porn star Steven Daigle!
BBAD Radio: You’ve never watched Big Brother before?
Nick: Never been a fan. I’m not a reality TV type of guy but I’m kind of suckered into this year thanks to Britney.
BBAD Radio: How do you think Britney is doing?
Nick: I’m worried that all these comments she’s made behind people’s back are going to come back and haunt her.
At this point Nick acknowledges the fact that Britney goes out of her way to show her engagement bling during the live eviction as a sign of affection for him. Abruptly his call drops and Erika and Lorraine find themselves lost hoping to get him back which they do. When he calls back he flashes some of the quick wit we’re used to hearing from Brit.
Nick: Remember guys, I’m from Arkansas we barely have a signal here.
After a little back and forth Nick makes another comment that paints a clear picture of his impatience with the whole process.
Nick: I don’t like sharing her (Britney) with all of America. I’m not gonna lie, I want her for myself.
More telling signs that the Big Brother experience is a strain on Nick and his relationship with Britney follows when he states that when she first auditioned she was his girlfriend and that when it started to become evident that she would be cast he proposed. It is understandable for a guy in Nick’s position to feel a sense of urgency faced with that situation. Meanwhile his own mom is in a chat room that the show hosts are checking on and mom suggests that they ask Nick how the two met.
Nick: I kind of gave her this cheesy pick up line and it worked and we kind of blossomed from there.
BBAD Radio: Come on Nick, what was that cheesy pick-up line?
Nick: I tracked her down and I said, Oh there you are. I had to track you down. My name is Lewis and this is my friend Clark.
Following up on the heels of his momma embarrassing him, Erica and Lorraine (sans a call screener) invite a caller by the name of 8-beer John (or that’s what I’m calling him) to ask some questions.
8-Beer John Do you think that Lane wears them mankinis for Britney to see?
Awkward silence follows until John summons up some more sixer courage.
8-Beer John: What about a hand print on his ass? Do you think he has that? How many times do you think Lane has broke his back on booze cruise.
Even more awkward silence follows until Nick responds incredulously.
Nick: Do I have to answer this?
8-Beer John gets dismissed after everyone involved decides they have no idea what booze cruise means. He is replaced by a very flamboyant gay man named Colton who is a self described big Britney fan. Colton rambles on for a while about how much he loves Brit and hates Rachel and this seems to ease poor Nick a little. Following Colton is the other big guest for the evening, Steven Daigle, the former Season 10 gay cowboy turned gay porn star and in a stunning turn Nick is asked and agrees to hang out on air with Danglin’ Daigle and the BBAD girls.
Big Brother 10′s gay cowboy / porn star Steven Daigle
Daigle catches up with the girls and then after a while reveals to Nick that he has become a gay porn star. Nick’s response to this kind of sums up the whole uncomfortable mess.
Nick: I really hope Britney doesn’t get into porn after this.
Well Nick I am certain you don’t have to worry about that but for your sake I hope Britney handles fame well and remembers, as they say in the south, where her biscuits are buttered.

nice moose knuckle brit.
If I were Britney’s parents or Nick I would not like Britney’s personal attacks on people it goes to show what kind of person she really is and just because she has been treated like a princess her whole life is no excuse for her being such a terrible person.
I think britney is one of the most hated on bb. Her attitude sucks she has no respect for anyone in that house. The way she talks about people is vial. Brendon had her pegged she is spoiled and a bratt that has not been taught if you cant say somthing nice say nothing at all. Her being engaged and constantly flirting with lane is just proof that she has a lot of growing up to do. She is nasty wont clean up after herself so i hope the future hubby can hire a maid or clean for the both of them. Tv are you serious that is not the kind of person teens or any one for that matter needs to look up to. I hope she is offered nothing. Well maybe except a tv offer that has to do with being a lady and learning some respect.
I just love how nasty people get when they trash Britney for trashing people. Pot meet kettle.
Britney Haynes is a vile, vicious, mean-spirited hateful spoiled brat. I think how she protrays herself is the real her and not her playing the game. Quite frankly, I believe she believes there is nothing wrong with her behavior. She ridicules others but she is worse than they are. If I were her I’d be so embarrassed at her behavior on the show and would feel shame for disgracing myself, my family, my friends and local community. A sad representation of women.
I just Love Britney and hope she wins with Lane…sorry to say but Lane and Britney are an adorable couple and the tension between them is remarkable. No offense to Nick, but I would love if Britney and Lane began a romance after the show ends, because it appears that Lane has been smitten with her since day one. Lane is a sweetie.
Camel toes are AWESOME!
what is with all the haters? brit is one of the most loveable people you could ever come across she is so funny a once in a life time since of humor i hope she goes far in life and let the jelous ones keep creaping and crowling
You all suck. Britney spoke her mind and was completely right! This is reality tv.. not “lets be nice and hold back our thoughts because it might make my family and community and the mail man look bad.” Get a life. Go Britney!
ps.. Obviously America loved her because she won the 25k prize!
This photo is overtaken by events. Their breakup, said to have occurred just after her visit to Lane in Texas (Oct 14–17, 2010,) was confirmed a few days before Thanksgiving.
