Four Horsemen

The Four Horsemen was an alliance in Big Brother 5 among Drew Daniel, Jase Wirey, Michael Ellis, and Scott Long. Drew was the winner of Big Brother 5, with Michael "Cowboy" being the Runner-Up.

Creation
The Four Horsemen was a relatively short-lived alliance, with members Scott and Jase being evicted Weeks 4 and 5 respectively.

Destruction
When Nakomis won Head of Household during Week 5, she had one goal in mind, getting rid of Jase at any cost. Ever the competitor, Jase had one Head of Household and two Powers of Veto under his belt, using his last veto to save himself from eviction. Nakomis came up with the Backdoor Plan, her "Six Finger Plan." She would nominate Marvin and Diane, two members of her own alliance. In early seasons, the nominees and HOH would each select one player to play in the POV, instead of the random draw used today. The other members of the alliance, Drew, Adria, and Will, played POV and no matter who won, would remove one of the nominees. Jase would then be selected as the replacement nominee, as he was when Drew won the POV. At this moment, Drew turned against The Four Horsemen, and knowingly saved Diane from the block.

Recovery
After Scott and Jase were evicted, it can be said that the Four Horsemen alliance was over, even though Drew and Cowboy maintained a close friendship. The alliance could be considered revived after the Final HOH, which Drew won, and selected his former alliance member to go with him to the Final Two instead of his showmantic partner, Diane.
