Daniele Donato-Briones (née Donato; born August 20, 1986) is an American television personality. She was a contestant on Big Brother 8, and Big Brother 13 along with her father Dick Donato, placing second and eighth, respectively. Donato is now married to Big Brother 13 cast member Dominic Briones, whom she began a relationship with shortly after the 13th season ended.
Daniele Donato was born on August 20, 1986. Her estranged father Dick Donato or better known as the notorious "Evel Dick" appeared on Big Brother with her for Season 8 in 2007. When Daniele was first on Big Brother she worked as a waitress in Huntington Beach, California. The two re-appeared on the show for Season 13, but her father had to leave the first week due to personal reasons. She is currently in college working towards her career. Aside from Big Brother, Daniele has appeared on the television show Reality Obsessed.
Daniele joined Big Brother 8 in 2007, along with her father, Dick. On Day 7, the House competed for the Power of Veto. Kail, as HoH, and Amber and Carol, as the nominees, automatically got to play for the power. During the random draw, Kail got "Houseguest Choice", and picked Daniele, Carol drew Nick's name, and Amber drew Jameka. During the competition, called "Hide and Seek Veto", players had one minute to hide a veto box inside the Big Brother house. When all six veto boxes were hidden, one by one, the players had a time limit to find another player's veto box. The player whose veto box was not found would win the Power of Veto. When it came down to Kail and Daniele, Daniele found Kail's Veto box, making Daniele the winner of the first Power of Veto competition. Meanwhile, Jen was beginning to get on her fellow Houseguest nerves, leading to her having confrontations with Dick and Nick. Despite Daniele considering using the Veto to backdoor Jen, on Day 9 Daniele chose to leave the nominations intact.
On Day 14, Jen nominated Daniele and Dick for eviction, deeming them as the most negative people in the House. On Day 15, the Houseguests competed for the Power of Veto. During the random drawing, Amber, Mike and Joe were chosen to play for the power. During the competition, called "Cutthroat Christmas", players had to slide a curling stone down an icy path toward a red line. Each round, the least accurate slider would be eliminated from the game and choose a present from under a giant Christmas tree. The last player standing got the pick of the prizes won. Daniele won the Power of Veto, Amber won a chance to be handcuffed to another HouseGuest, Dick won a plasma TV, Mike won a date with another HouseGuest, Jen won a red unitard, and Joe won a slop pass. On Day 17, Daniele used the Veto on herself, and Jen put Joe up in her place.
