She joined eight other ladies and Womack in a radio session with Dr. Drew answering questions about relationships and commitments. At the cocktail party following the radio show, Britt and Brad shared a romantic moment together but were interrupted before they kissed by bachelorette Ashley H. who needed reassurance she was not losing the bachelor's attention.  Later in the show, Britt was given the group date rose.
• Week 5 - January 31, 2011: Britt was part of the Las Vegas NASCAR group date in this episode. Although the date was heavy on emphasis of how Emily Maynard was coping with the choice of date location, Brillmaier made the best of the situation and was given a rose at the end of the week.
  

On January 3, 2011, ABC's reality show The Bachelor entered its 15th season. Brad Womack, the bachelor who didn't choose a final rose recipient in season 11, returned to redeem himself. The reality show placed a group of single women interested in winning the bachelor’s heart in a joint living arrangement while they competed for his attention.http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelor/about-the-show

Each week, Brad Womack  gives a rose to each girl he chooses to keep in the competition. Those who do not receive roses are sent home. The first show was a meet-and-greet session where one girl received a first-impression rose. Nineteen other roses were given before the night was over, allowing twenty contestants to move on to week two.http://www.reality-tv-online.com/blog/the-bachelor-jenni-gets-the-first-impression-rose/

During the final rose ceremony, the bachelor sends all but one remaining lady home. The final rose is given to the woman whom he chooses to pursue a further relationship with. After the choice is made, an additional episode is shown. "After the Final Rose" airs to give viewers and eliminated contestants the chance to hear the status of the couple since the time of filming.http://blog.zap2it.com/ithappenedlastnight/2010/03/the-bachelor-after-the-final-rose-jake-and-vienna-are-engaged-still-together.html
