Survivor: Nicaragua
Holly was put on the Espada tribe, which originally consisted of the older players participating in the season. Early on Holly made an alliance with Wendy DeSmidt-Kohlhoff but since the rest of Espada saw Wendy as a weak link, Holly had to either cut Wendy lose or put a target on her back 3 days into the game; she chose the former. With Wendy gone, Holly would then form a closer bond with Jane Bright. On day 11, Holly and Jane felt that Dan Lembo was the weakest link and voted them off, but Marty Piombo's alliance decided to vote off Jimmy Tarantino since he was becoming annoying with his constant pleads to lead the team and to get more time in challenges. After tribal council, it was clear to Marty that Holly and Jane would be next, but Holly was saved by the tribe switch, which sent Marty and Jill Behm (the most active members of Marty's alliance) to La Flor and gave Espada Alina Wilson, Ben Henry (known as Benry), Chase Rice, and NaOnka Mixon.

Despite Jane also being sent to La Flor, Holly was in a comfortable position on Espada, quickly befriending the newer and younger members of the tribe and voting with them, contributing to the eliminations of Tyrone Davis and Yve Rojas in the process. However, Holly's desicion to vote off Yve was a last minute one, as she had to make sure that Dan took back what he said on the morning of Day 15 that he wanted to quit so she didn't keep someone in the game that wanted to leave. Furthermore, Holly also won individual immunity on day 15. When Espada won the reward challenge in What Goes Around, Comes Around, Holly stated that it was nice for the 6 of them (the remaining Espada members) to just relax and enjoy the meal together, not thinking about the game.
