In the lead up to the finale, Holly was the bookies' favourite to win Jimmy's heart and the ninth season, with odds at 1.40.
The blonde beauty also had the tick of approval from several Bachelor alumni from the moment she entered the mansion.
"Calling it right here. In for the win," Chelsie McLeod, the winner from Matt Agnew's season, wrote on Instagram as she shared a clip of Holly's entrance.
"Winner winner chicken dinner," Megan Marx, who was on Richie Strahan's season, also said of Holly.
Bella Varelis, the runner-up from Locky Gilbert's season, also remarked: "My girl got the magic music."

On their first meeting in the Bachelor premiere, Holly whisked Jimmy off to a corner for a brief but memorable "date" at a makeshift version of a wine bar.
"Having this little sit down with Holly over a glass of wine, I'm just feeling really relaxed. It's flirty, it's fun, this feels like a real first date," the Bachelor mused afterwards.
"It feels like talking to an old friend. An old friend that's really attractive."
