Brittany B. (Lea Moreno) is an antagonist in two episodes of the TV series “Clueless”. She first appeared in the 1997 episode “Homecoming Queen”, and then in the 1998 episode “In Boyfriend We Trust”.
Homecoming Queen
Brittany B. appears in the first episode as one of the popular cheerleaders at Bronson Alcott High School. Brittany is in a clique along with Sharona S. (Kara Holden) and head cheerleader, Tiffany K. (Wendy Benson-Landes). Brittany does not have much in terms of speaking parts in this episode, but she does go along with the bullying led by Tiffany. Along with her two cheerleader friends, Brittany is nominated for one of the four Homecoming Queen spots.
The faculty organizer for the event is Mrs. Mumford (Christine Rose) who is determined that the winner must be a cheerleader, which would disqualify Cher Horowitz (Rachel Blanchard) from being the winner. Mrs. Mumford assures the three cheerleaders not to fret upon seeing Cher’s name on the list, since a cheerleader has always been the Homecoming Queen, and a cheerleader will continue to be the winner.
At the annual cheerleading tryouts, Tiffany along with Sharona and Brittany are joined at the judging table with Mrs. Mumford. Tiffany makes a comment on prospective student Brenda (Joy Somers), that she “hasn’t seen a mustache like that, since the village people”. Mrs. Mumford chimed in, “You forgot to mention her elephant ankles”. The next contestant is Kerri (Kerri Skrug, US Olympic Gymnastic medalist) who wows the judges. However, Mrs. Mumford points out that she resides in a less than desireable area. Tiffany says, “Ooooh, South of Wilshire.” The cheerleaders laugh as Kerri is turned down. Lastly, Patty a slightly overweight student auditions. Tiffany tells her that her performance was a 9.8…..on the richter scale.
Brittany is next shown placing a picture poster of her friend Tiffany over Cher’s poster for homecoming queen. This is quickly covered up by Cher. In the schools quad, the cheerleaders are offering free massages to garner support for their votes.
On the day of the Homecoming game, Dee and Cher come to the decision, that if she wins she will immediately denounce the system, renounce the crown and declare that every student is a homecoming king and queen.
Brittany is shown on the back end of one of the convertibles as it rounds the track waving to her adoring fans. On the stage, Mrs. Mumford is horrified to read the winner. She states that “The Homecoming Queen, by an unprecedented and possible illegal write in vote is….Dionne Davenport”. Brittany and her two friends are left mortified and shocked on the stage. Dionne falls under the homecoming spell and starts to enjoy the acclaim she receives. In the crowd, Sean Holiday (Sean Holland) admits that it was he, who stuffed the ballot box with Dee’s name on them. Cher has to remind her of the plan to give up the title. After doing the deed, Dionne tosses the crown up into the air and Amber catches it. Amber is then trampled by the crowd as they rush the podium to congratulate Dionne. A dejected Brittany along with the other cheerleaders are left sulking on the stage.

In Boyfriend We Trust
Brittany B. appeared in her second episode where she once again was one of the popular cheerleaders at Bronson Alcott High School.
Cher Horowitz (Rachel Blanchard) has a new boyfriend named David. However, Cher’s friends including Amber Mariens (Elisa Donovan) gives her pause to whether he is seeing his old girlfriend still. Amber tells her that his old girlfriend Brittany seems to still be in the picture. She reasons, why would a guy like him “give up Beach Party Brittany for the icy peaks of Mount Cher?” Cher however, is convinced that they are just friends.
Next we see, Cher and her best friend Dionne “Dee” Davenport (Stacy Dash) head to the bathroom where they find Amber giving herself a facial before her afternoon classes. When Cher mentions that she will talk to David tonight about the spring fling, Brittany comes out of the toilet stall, and contradicts her. She tells Cher that David “won’t be talking to you because his tongue will be too busy kissing me”. Cher questions Brittany, and she calls her a rebound girl. Dee fires back that Cher is “nothing but net, and you are so slam dumped”. Brittany doesn’t understand the basketball analogy, so Amber steps in to “translate for the cheer loser”. Amber uses Tarzan talk to break it down, “Cher like David, David like Cher, Brittany go bye-bye”. Brittany continues the talk and says “Nuh uh, David like me”, and then calls Amber a rollerhead because she is wearing curlers. Cher explains to Brittany that she and David may have had a thing, but she fires back that it is “still, always and forever”. On her way out, she promises to give a big wet kiss just for Brittany. As she walks past, Brittany sticks her foot out which nearly trips the cheerleader down to the ground before catching herself. Dee tells her not to worry about Brittany, that she overheard them talking and made up a story to upset Cher. However, Amber chimed in that Brittany is way too stupid to lie.
Later, David avoids Cher in the hallway when she wants to talk to him, and then cancels their date for the evening, saying something came up.
Dionne is unsuccessful in keeping Cher’s mind off David during a sleepover. She mentions how is she supposed to compete with Brittany, “she has Victoria Secret breasts, Hello Kitty feet, and a teeny tiny brain.” Dee tells her to get over it, and that “she so has it over this Chimbo”, which stands for a cross between a cheerleader and a bimbo.
Cher then received a phone call from Amber who tells her that she just watched David through her telescope enter Brittany’s house. They decide to get a closer look and plan a session of espionage. Wearing all black and night vision goggles the girls make their way to the side of Brittany’s house.
When Brittany announces that she is releasing the dogs to the yard, the girls make their way up the side of the house. There they spy Brittany seducing David with a very sexy outfit on. What they can’t hear, is that David is resisting her advances saying that it is over between them. Brittany tells David, that he can’t resist her and climbs on top of him. While Amber and Dee argue over who came up with the trend setting name of Chimbo first, the balcony gives way and the two girls go falling to the ground. Cher is left holding on, and David catches her on the balcony spying.
Later, while on a rock climbing date with David, Cher confronts him on blowing her off so that he could climb Mount Chimbo. David reasoned that Brittany had been trying desperately to get them back together, so he felt it was the absolute best opportunity to tell her it was over once and for all.
The next day, Sean Holiday (Sean Holland) and Murray (Donald Faison) are trying out their new slip and slide luge they designed. A large crowd gathers and Brittany is introduced as their trial run volunteer. Brittany is dressed in a shiny silver lycra suit and placed on her back on the sled apparatus. After strapping her in, she asks how she is supposed to steer. They tell her to “just wiggle your butt when you feel it is appropriate”. They ask if she can do that, and she responds, “Please, I’m a cheerleader”. After giving her a hard push, Brittany gathers speed and around one of the hairpin turns flies out of the track and heads back for the crowd. The crowd scatters while Brittany is hear panicking. The final crash is not seen as the screen freezes. All that appears is that “No Chimbos were hurt or maimed during the making of this episode”.
