Steve Moses

Steve Moses is the winner of Big Brother 17.

Steve was a covert member of the Scamper Squad who also fostered a side alliance called Rockstars with John. While The Sixth Sense was still alive, Vanessa decided to bring Steve into a side alliance with Austin and the twins (which eventually became the Scamper Squad). Steve was able to use this alliance to further himself in the game. For most of the game he was under the radar and followed people, mainly Vanessa, but that was part of his strategy. However, he secretly wanted to evict Vanessa but could not do so until he split up the Austwins, whom he targeted during Week 11 (culminating in Julia's eviction). He played more aggressively at the end of the game, winning 3 out of the last 4 HOHs and evicting Vanessa. After making it to the final 2, the jury accused him of floating throughout the game. However, he argued that he did not float because he played an under-the-radar game and he made his own moves throughout the game. He compared his own choices to Liz's, as she followed Austin and Vanessa throughout her time in the Big Brother house. This, along with evicting Vanessa, enabled him to win Big Brother by a vote of 6–3. Steve was also able to win several competitions throughout his stay in the Big Brother house and eventually became the sixth male HouseGuest in the history of the show to win 6 competitions (4 HoHs and 2 PoVs).

His love for his 'mommy' and the running joke (from the Austwins and Vanessa) that he is 'sneaky,' and his seemingly one sided rivalry with Becky were also major parts of his storyline. He is known to feeders for pacing by himself for hours at night after everyone has gone to sleep.
