GoodGollyItsHolly is a popular fan in the forums, known for her silly posts and quirky short responses. She is prolific, averaging close to 35 posts a day, and appears in many forums. She is a big Jonas fan, and currently lists her location as "Jonas' bed."

The Test

In The Test, Daniel decided to let GoodGollyItsHolly decide whether they should trust Jonas. Users posted messages on the boards and the forum telling her what they think about Jonas's offer. She left several posts on the boards and the forums confirming that she was taking fans' input.


The poll

GoodGollyItsHolly created a poll in the forums. You can access it here.

When she announced that she had made a decision she said that it was not safe to say what it was yet. From her wording "Its the best option i think.. I cant say what it is because it would be too dangerous for everyone involved..." it's seemed likely that she will advise Bree and Daniel to trust Jonas. The poll results were also in favor of trusting Jonas.

On December 9th, the video Your Decision was posted. Bree, Daniel and Jonas all go to the meeting location provided by GoodGollyItsHolly. Daniel rescinds his approval of the test and decides that regardless what their Internet friends say, he does not want to go with Jonas. Bree insists on staying with Jonas, so she and Daniel go their separate ways. Fans were surprised at this plot twist, including GoodGollyItsHolly, who said she had not counted on Daniel changing his mind.

Real person or not?

Daniel's selection of GoodGollyItsHolly led to speculation that she was officially connected with the Creators. This speculation was fueled by the fact that her posts in the video comments since The Test are very short, generic, and never refer back to any specific fan's input. Fans note the similarity between this manner of posting and that of Bree and Daniel when they post. Fans were especially suspicious of the fact that GoodGollyItsHolly never expressed excitement or even surprise that she was picked by Daniel from a selection of so many fans. Her posts in the forum, however, are more in character.

Fans have also noted that it is implausible that Daniel would trust an arbitrary Internet friend with such a crucial decision as whether to trust Jonas.

Speculation claiming that GoodGollyItsHolly is dubious because she is such an established fan of LG15 who has been interacting with other fans on a personal basis for months before The Test. She also explicitly denied being a plant. Nonetheless, fans note that it is possible that she allowed the Creators to use her username in moderating the debate which followed The Test.

This is the creators' second attempt to work fan interactivity into the series. Their first (somewhat botched) attempt was Bree's November 28 chat.
