Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes have confirmed they have reconciled following a significant betrayal during their time on the third season of Peacock's "The Traitors." The "Big Brother" alums, who had a strong alliance that ultimately crumbled when Haynes voted Reyes out, spoke to Page Six about their experience.
Haynes, 39, described their time on "The Traitors" as "a mess" and "so intense," but expressed gratitude for Reyes' forgiveness. "Dani has always met me with kindness," Haynes stated. "Every since the reunion, I would say it’s been… yeah, it was tricky. It was something to get through for sure."
Reyes, 54, acknowledged that their fallout on the show was "tough." However, after a candid conversation off-camera, she decided to move past the conflict. "So we’re all good," Reyes said. "And Britney’s one of those people that I just love to watch her play, because she’s so snarky in the most delicious, evil way. I just love her to death."

Haynes, who also eliminated Reyes from "Big Brother: Reindeer Games" in 2023, admitted to having regrets about her actions on "The Traitors." Despite the dramatic end to their alliance, Haynes reflected positively on their time together, noting their effectiveness as a team. "And what gives me peace is those moments when we were together, we were unstoppable," Haynes said. "And as much as my banishment comes to light, I always think about that moment. You tried your best. You were ‘Big Brother’-ing it so much trying to keep me in that castle."
Reyes emphasized the unique bond she shares with Haynes after competing on two reality shows together. "She’s so addicting at the same time," Reyes commented about Haynes. "That’s what I explain to people. They’re like, ‘Why Britney?’ I say, ‘She’s just my person. When I’m around her, she’s like a drug. I need her on my side.'"
Regarding future "Big Brother" contestants on "The Traitors," Reyes believes Nicole Franzel has the best chance to win, despite no "Big Brother" alum having secured a victory on the show in its four seasons. "That’s Nicole Franzel, hands down," Reyes said. "Of course, me saying this is not going to help her if she does get cast."
Haynes agreed that a low threat level is crucial for "Big Brother" players aiming to succeed on "The Traitors." "I think that any of the big names that you would say, like the huge strategists of ‘Big Brother,’ would be too threatening, especially given that we now have four seasons of history on ‘Big Brother’ players," Haynes explained. "I think that it has to be someone who could go in with a really low threat level."
"The Traitors" Season 5 is expected to premiere in early 2027 on Peacock. "Big Brother 28" airs Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and streams the following day on Paramount+.
