Where does Steve Moses rank in the grand scheme of Big Brother winners?

'Big Brother' Host Julie Chen Reveals Whether She Would Have Voted For Vanessa Over Steve

Steve won Big Brother 17 on Wednesday after evicting the strongest strategist in the game, Vanessa Rousso, and taking Liz Nolan to the end. While three jurors voted for Liz to win, the six other jurors voted for Steve, giving him the win.

While all winners are deserving, does Steve rank as one of the best, one of the worst or somewhere in between?

Steve played a very under the radar game in the first month of Big Brother 17, despite being nominated a few times. He was very rarely in danger and ultimately joined the Scamper Squad alliance, which consisted of him, Vanessa, Liz, Julia Nolan and Austin Matelson.

He finally won HOH on Day 57, where he nominated Jackie Ibarra and Meg Maley, with the house voting to evict Jackie. While some questioned the move, it ultimately resulted in him getting very little blood on his hands. He gained a loose ally on John McGuire while also staying true to Scamper Squad, and together, they made it to the Final 6 intact.

Steve won HOH again at Final 6, and he became the first person to make a direct attack at the "Austwins." While they were upset with Steve, none of them were able to gain power to take him out. Steve won three of the last four HOH competitions, keeping Vanessa close enough to persuade her to take him further.

Steve, Vanessa and Liz made it to the Final 3 and while Vanessa thought Steve would honor their Final 2 deal, he made the biggest move in the game by evicting her at Final 3.

While Steve did play a quiet game for most of the summer, he became more active by the endgame, persuading most of the jurors to vote for him.
