Congratulations to Steve on winning Big Brother 17!
This may not have been one of the best seasons of Big Brother but for every season there's a winner. It was a close game for Vanessa who almost made it to the final two. Vanessa played a good game throughout the season but she didn't get her hands dirty, as Jason pointed out.
After getting rid of Johnny Mac for the second time it was down to Vanessa, Steve and Liz. Steve and Vanessa competed against each other in the final game of the season. It was a very close call for Vanessa but Steve beat her by one point. Immediately, Steve was required to evict either Vanessa or Liz. He praised Vanessa's game play during the season and he sent her to jury.
During the voting process both Liz and Steve were tied at three. As Julie Chen continued on Steve had four votes and then five and then it was revealed that Shelly voted for Steve as well.
Did Steve deserve to win? Well, he did play a more strategic game than Vanessa, which he explained during the Q&A for the BB17 houseguests who were evicted early on. With Vanessa gone and most of the strong players gone he deserved to win over Liz.
Steve won $500,000, Liz won $50,000.
America's fan favorite top three nominees was between Johnny Mac, James and Jason. As lovable as John was it was James who won the $25,000.

Wednesday on 'Big Brother 17' James won the Power of Veto forcing Vanessa to have to put up Julia as a replacement to go up against Meg. Now we all know Julia has more votes so more than likely Julia a just a pawn. Is it time for one of the twins to say good-bye?
James is Meg's only ally but with Vanessa flopping back and forth she probably can sway Johnny Mac who earned his way back into the house and Steve to keep her in the house. However, tonight is a double eviction and Meg won't be the only one walking out of that door.
There is one person who definitely should have been gone but has managed to remain in the Big Brother house and that is Vanessa. Vanessa is a true backstabber. She goes from one person to the next. The only loyalty she has is to herself. She don't know if she should trust Steve, Johnny Mac, Austin or the twins. Could her time be over in the BB17 house?
Tune in to 'Big Brother 17' tonight on CBS to see which two houseguests will be going to the jury house!
