Holly's Not So Jolly

What appeared to be a highly contested week turns out to be a rout when Holly is evicted by a near-unanimous vote of 7 to 1. How did what seemed to be a 4 to 4 deadlock with Drew having to weigh in as HoH turn into this lopsided tally? One need look no further than the Spy Screen in the HoH room, as the Four Horsemen spy Jase kissing Holly, proving how sprung he is. That, coupled with his reticence to talk about it, makes it clear just how problematic the Holly-Jase situation has become. After Holly says her goodbyes, the HoH Competition is a test of endurance, and the new Head of Household has yet to be named.

TENSION MOUNTS

Before the vote, the House remains divided as Jase pushes the Four Horsemen to rally behind Holly while Adria passionately campaigns to stay. Adria finds solace in the Bible, reading aloud to Diane while the Santa Monica Van Boys lounge out back and discuss their own views about God and BIG BROTHER 5. Jase is sure there is no God present: "Money is most evil, and what are we doing to get it but lying, cheating and deceiving?"

Karen and Will discuss with Adria how she can be saved. Karen is wary of getting out there on the stump because it would only show the strength of Adria's alliances. Knowing it is within her power to save herself, Adria begins to campaign heavily, first laying it on thick with Marvin, who really doesn't give her much to go on. Then she appeals to Michael, saying, "I'm just a little baby country girl," and really leans on him, adding, "Nobody knows what you vote."

Adria even goes into the HoH room and tries to deal with the Four Horsemen on their turf. Scott has a brainstorm and asks if A will leave the room, then the Four Horsemen get down to some hardcore strategizing. As a visual aid, they bust out lifesavers, with each lifesaver representing a HouseGuest and Holly being a Cheez-It. Jase gets extremely animated whenever Holly the Cheez-It is moved off the board, something that Drew can't help but comment on.
