Big Brother USA has crowned Steve Moses the winner of season 17.
The 22-year-old student beat other finalist Liz Nolan last night (September 23) after managing to convince the jury that he was more deserving of the $500,000 prize.
The winner gained a majority six out of the nine jury votes in the final round to win.
The third remaining houseguest in the 90-minute final was Vanessa Rousso, as the top 3 had to complete a three-part challenge.
Rousso won the first part, which was an endurance test as the contestants sat on giant carnival apples.
The second round - scaling a wall while solving a giant crossword - was won by Moses, who also triumphed in the third "guess what the juror said" round.

After final words from the contestants, the votes were counted and Moses was declared the winner.
