One Of The Worst Big Brother Winners According To Fans

"Steve [Moses] is a bottom three winner," a Reddit user declared in u/MrReditor's thread, speaking of the Season 17 victor. They also credit fate, not any particularly skillful playing on Moses' part, with his victory during Season 17. But it's his arrogance which offends this redditor's sensibilities: "The worst part is he takes credit for all of these near misses as calculated game moves," they said.

It turns out that their opinion was far more popular than they initially believed, gaining over 100 upvotes. "One thing that kind of irked me was the whole forced storyline of how Steve "became a man" on the show," agreed a deleted user. But some viewers disagreed. "I feel the Bottom 3 of Jordan (Lloyd), Rachel (Reilly), and Dick is impenetrable," said u/TraverseTown.

Indeed, though Moses did a great job with the game's physical contests he did not meet with popularity during his season. He ended up winning six competitions, and he was Head of the Household four out of three times. Yet he often ended up on the chopping block during eliminations due to his inability to make friends: he came close to eviction five times. Eventually he was responsible for the eviction of Vanessa Rousso during the finale, which lead to six members of the show's jury voting for him over the show's other finalist, Liz Nolan.

Moses was not the most popular player on his season. That honor went to James Huling, who won $45,000.00 as "America's Favorite Houseguest" for Season 17.
