Three adjectives that describe you: Fun, loving and loyal.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house: Being away from my family and kids. I’ve never gone longer than a weekend without my kids let alone months of not seeing them or talking with them. The same goes for my family. We’re a very tight knit family so that’s going to be a challenge for me.

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most: Britney was pretty entertaining to watch.
What are you afraid of: Heights! I am terrified of heights!
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of: My determination to never give up. I refuse to let my past and the hard times get the best of me.
Finish this sentence: My life’s motto is… To live, to love and to repeat it daily.
What would you take into the house and why: Pictures of my kids, my phone and my best friend.
What would you do if “Big Brother” made you famous: I would never forget where I came from and all those who have always been there for me before I became famous.

Brittany is a mother of three who once faked labor to get out of a speeding ticket.  She recently started dating again after 8 years of marriage.
