Do you really not know these things list of things steve doesn't know Or was it an act?

[–][deleted] 117ポイント118ポイント  (3子コメント)

At the time their respective conversations came up, I knew about 10% of these things. Common sense isn't my specialty...

[–]j021John 14ポイント15ポイント  (2子コメント)

Thank you for responding! You were my first ama response! Congrats!

Probably a greater honour than winning big brother.

[–]swamp_curtains 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

That list is missing apple cores. Maybe it's because Liz didn't give him enough shit, so he could've confirmed the reason he couldn't figure out how to cut an apple was because he didn't know he had to cut around the middle, so we were left to wonder if he did or didn't know about them.

Steeeeeeeeeeeve-uhhh, did you not know apple cores were a thiiing?

[–]yankeedemon361 209ポイント210ポイント  (27子コメント)

What was your big secret?

[–]notnotbuddyKelsey 54ポイント55ポイント  (3子コメント)

I'm gonna drop some context here. On the feeds, Steve and Vanessa were talking and Steve revealed he had a secret to tell Van. He mentioned that he would talk to her when the music was on (i.e. while the feds were off). Speculation ran rampant here over the summer over what the secret was but we never got a concrete answer.

[–]giraffeaquariumMitchell 27ポイント28ポイント  (2子コメント)

Speculation was that he was either gay, bisexual or asexual. I think he has refused to answer in other interviews though so I don't think we can expect an answer. Can you confirm that there is actually a secret though and it wasn't part of game strategy to get close to Vanessa?

[–]jenh6Tim 21ポイント22ポイント  (14子コメント)

The question we are all dying to know

      Have you watched your season yet? Is there anything that really surprised you after watching it or leaving the house?

      [–][deleted] 85ポイント86ポイント  (7子コメント)

      I've watched up to Jeff's eviction so far. A few surprising things: 1) Scamper Squad / Freaks and Geeks didn't make the show until after the double. I now understand why there was so much confusion for the TV only audience since they had no idea I was in F & G. 2) I severely underestimated the strength of what turned out to be the Sixth Sense. I knew they were together, but I didn't realize it was as strong as it was.

      [–]arielmemeMitchell 49ポイント50ポイント  (6子コメント)

      to be fair, freaks and geeks wasn't on tv because the name is copyrighted

      [–]giraffeaquariumMitchell 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I think it wasn't aired because the alliance wasn't legit/meaningful for all involved while the sixth sense was still intact. If CBS had wanted to air the alliance name, they would have required the members to change the name to something that wasn't copyrighted earlier.

        As a super fan what suprised you the most about being in the house?

        Did the fan impression (joker ranking) of anyone surprise you?

        [–][deleted] 65ポイント66ポイント  (1子コメント)

        1) Nothing shocked me too much because vets always come out saying what surprised them most, so I was expecting those things to surprise me. Too much downtime, comps are harder than they look, being a have-not is harder than you think, DR's can be a real pain in the butt, constant paranoia about going to bed when others are still up. There was no one thing that was particularly eye opening because I already knew what the usual "shockers" are. 2) Mine! I played a super under-the-radar game that I was sure didn't make for good TV (hence why I wasn't on the first half of the show,) so to see myself as high as I was was awesome!

        How awkward was that first conversation outside of the house with Becky after she saw your "I hate Becky" DRs?

        [–][deleted] 107ポイント108ポイント  (7子コメント)

        I DON'T HATE BECKY. BECKY IS AWESOME. No, I never heard Becky trash talking me. She was one of the sweetest people in the house. She wouldn't game talk with me ever, she kept telling me how I reminded her of Ian, and she point blank admitted that she knew exactly what I was up to. I put the pieces together and assumed she was targeting me. She's been one of the people I've had the most contact with since the show.

        [–][deleted] 57ポイント58ポイント  (5子コメント)

        It just was really inexplicable, we see Becky failing in a POV and then there's this DR of you talking about how much it made you feel good to see her fail. It was like the one-sided Shambo/Laura feud from Survivor: Samoa.

        [–]kimlikewhoaZakiyah 12ポイント13ポイント  (0子コメント)

        I totally read this in your DR voice where you talk super fast

        We've had a few dates since the show, but we're taking it slow. She's taking me to meet her family sometime next week. Something about the curve on her lens just really gets me ;)

          [–][deleted] 93ポイント94ポイント  (1子コメント)

          No idea. He had me 100% fooled. First, he never had a single slip-up around me. Second, he made a lot of moves I would never expect from a super fan, like telling Clelli about the Rockstars or throwing so many POVs and BOBs while he was on the block. I really had no idea.

          [–]guppyfighterRegret 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

          Steve was kind enough to verify his identity with the mod team on twitter. He's a busy man and not available for a traditional live AMA but has pledged to return and answer questions so consider this more of a casual AMA.

          On a side note, Steve is a gentleman for dealing with me during this process!

          Hi Steve! Congrats on winning!

          What was going through your mind during the infamous "geek squad Mickey" conversation with Jace?

          [–][deleted] 86ポイント87ポイント  (2子コメント)

          The same thing that was going through my mind during a typical Vanessa conversation. Just let him say whatever he wants, and I'll agree with it. I had nothing to gain by contributing to the conversation. I actually kind of felt bad for him because he was desperate to stay and I saw how hurt he was by how I never told him about his backdoor. I'm surprised I was seen as the victim, tbh.

          I've talked most with Johnny, Vanessa, and Becky. The twins and Austin and I have also exchanged some entertaining messages. I have a voicemail saved on my phone where the first ten seconds is "STEEEEEEEEEVE."

          Hi Steve. On the first night the feeds came on Vanessa was having a rough time and you played 20 questions with her to cheer her up. It got to the point that we found out it was a round, metallic object that could fit in your hand before the feeds switched off you.

          I've been dying to know what the answer was since that night. Please tell me you remember!

          [–]Pokeadot 18ポイント19ポイント  (1子コメント)

          Did playing BB live up to the dream as a lifelong fan? If not, what were some of the sobering moments that kicked expectation down to reality?

          [–][deleted] 32ポイント33ポイント  (0子コメント)

          It's aways a good idea to keep emotions out of the game, and I thought I would do better at that. Emotions never influenced any of my actual game decisions, but I definitely had a lot more highs and lows than I expected.

          [–]tbsportsSolo Dolo 35ポイント36ポイント  (1子コメント)

          How surprised were you that Liz's speeches were so poor on finale night? It was almost too easy for you. Did she not prepare at all? Even if she thought it was 1 in a million chance she would be in final 2, I feel like she should have been more prepared. Those last couple days, while you and Vanessa were preparing speeches, what was she doing?

          [–][deleted] 60ポイント61ポイント  (0子コメント)

          I'm not sure? It was very intentional that Liz didn't know that I was taking her in hopes she wouldn't prepare a speech against me, but as for why, you'd have to ask her.

          Congratulations Steve. I LOVE that you won!

          I have 3 questions for you.

          1. Who would have been your replacement nomination had Veto been used during the first double eviction?

          2. Did you hate Becky like it was portrayed? She was one of the few who genuinely liked you and didn't talk shit about you.

          3. You won so this might be a moronic question but I'll ask anyway, looking back at the season, is there anything you would have done differently? Aligned with? A strategic move you would have eliminated?

          Again congratulations on your win. Winners like you (likable house guests) is why Big Brother one of my favorite reality shows.

          [–][deleted] 22ポイント23ポイント  (1子コメント)

          1) Becky. It was a close call to target Jackie over her. (John only fought for that veto to protect Becky.) 2) Not even a little bit, and she was awesome to hang out with. Unfortunately it's not a game of who you like and don't like, it's a game of what gets you further, and the people who liked me were more in my way than the people who didn't. 3) I really only have two game regrets. First, I would not have tried to throw "Getting Loopy" since that HOH really helped my game and solidify me with the Scamper Squad. Second, I wouldn't have thrown the F4 veto. In hindsight, that was a really terrible move all the way around.

          [–]HeadacherJames 11ポイント12ポイント  (5子コメント)

          Have you googled yourself?

          If so, what was your most surprising find?

          [–][deleted] 27ポイント28ポイント  (4子コメント)

          I have! I'm surprised by how much I'm seeing "Steve did this" or "Steve said that," and I'm thinking, "I never did or said any of those things." I can totally respect people who have different opinions, but there's a lot of information that's just factually wrong.

          [–]TwistedDrum5 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

          Can you give an example of something that surprised you the most?

          [–][deleted] 20ポイント21ポイント  (2子コメント)

          Vanessa made 10000x more decisions than I did in our alliance. I did not make the scamper squad; I was brought in as a number. Apparently I'm trying to argue that these points aren't true when they definitely are true.

          [–]CaptaineAliRamsey 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

          On finale night people try there hardest to argue these points to seem like they controlled the house in order to get votes, but sometimes it's better to let everyone control some things and get the blood on their hands.

            If you had a choice to bring any other houseguest from your season to final 2, who would it be?

            Say you're invited back for All Stars 2, who is in your dream alliance?

            Thanks so much for stopping by!

            [–][deleted] 32ポイント33ポイント  (0子コメント)

            1) Johnny Mac! Not only would it have been awesome getting Rockstars to the final 2, but I think a lot of the jury recruits would have struggled to vote for someone who never won HOH. 2) I really have no idea. Do you align with or target the players you really respect. It would depend on all of the specific circumstances at the time.

            [–]Plank19John 20ポイント21ポイント  (6子コメント)

            Hey Steve, thanks for doing this. How much have you and Johnny Mac stayed in touch since the show? Also what are your thoughts on Jace since he his damage control after how he acted to you on the show?

            [–][deleted] 44ポイント45ポイント  (5子コメント)

            1) Johnny Mac and I have skyped and chatted quite a bit, and I think we'll be meeting up in Scranton sometime in the near future. 2) Jace is one of my favorite people in this cast. I was absolutely shocked to find out he got so much hate for that conversation. ITS A GAME PEOPLE. HE WAS CAMPAIGNING FOR A VOTE. He's a great guy and I hope I get to hang out with him soon.

            [–]tkouscBronte 20ポイント21ポイント  (3子コメント)

            Did you really screw up when you wrote 600 seconds in the final four HOH tiebreaker? I think had you lost that Vanessa would have gotten rid of you at final 4 what do you think?

            [–][deleted] 19ポイント20ポイント  (2子コメント)

            1) I'm not sure what I was thinking in that moment. I honestly don't remember what my thought process was or how arrived at my answer, but I can 100% assure you I didn't throw it. I cannot fathom a scenario where throwing the F4 HOH is a good idea. 2) If I wasn't HOH, I wouldn't have thrown the veto. Would I have been able to beat Vanessa if we were both going all out for it? No idea. Would she have gotten rid of me if John was that HOH and she had veto? She wouldn't have wanted a F3 with both me and John, so probably.

            [–]giraffeaquariumMitchell 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

            John was a bit squirrely on that question too, if you look at his answer card, he first multiplied 24 x 60 which is irrelevant. He ultimately came up with a reasonable answer, but there is a ton of pressure and many of us would do something dumb in the moment.

              I thought this was already answered in an interview? Becky hated talking deals and when Steve tried to make a deal early on and she refused he then assumed he was a target of hers.

                  [–][deleted] 87ポイント88ポイント  (15子コメント)

                  I'm paying her back for some expenses she covered for me to go on the show (extra glasses, clothes, rent-a-car for the original casting call,) and I'm probably getting her an iPad for X-mas, but that's it. I'm definitely close with her, but I played it up to be the sweet, innocent, naive kid. The the show exaggerated it to be a lot more creepy and intense (like camping) than it actually is.

                  Steve, we all saw you crying for your mom, clutching a teddy bear... Don't bullshit us please. You got a way better edit regarding your mom than you deserved... You were creepy and intense...

                  Some of us saw the crying at F4 you know. I think the show helped you out in terms of a good edit

                  [–][deleted] 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

                  If they were helping me out with a good edit, they would have shown me crying at F4. It would have been nice to show that I realized I made a bad move in throwing the veto. I don't think I got a bad edit with my mom at all. I'm super close with her, and if I'm feeling down, I'll shoot her a phone call and ask her to cheer me up. A phone call with her in that moment would have been a great pick-me-up. I'm just pointing out that I'm an adult living six hours away from home who also has a great relationship with my family.

                    I didn't really keep track past the first 151, so definitely not anything past that. Squirtle is kind of adorable :)

                        Congrats, Steve! Loved you!

                        Many people have said those falling under the "geek" archetype will have a hard time playing and winning Big Brother going forward due to Ian's win and your win. Would you agree and if future players do fall under that category, how do you think they should play to get as far as they can and possibly win?

                        Thanks for the AMA! :D

                        When someone is HOH, they want to get something good done. They want to get out a big player or someone coming after them. I don't think anyone would be targeted for being like me or Ian after the first two weeks of the game. Maybe it would be beneficial for the next nerd to win the first HOH to overcome that hump?

                        If you had to pick one former BB contestant to play the game & win with your life at stake, who would it be? Dan, Dr. Will, Derrick, (or someone else?)

                        [–][deleted] 29ポイント30ポイント  (2子コメント)

                        The problem with everyone you named is that while they're fantastic players, they also have huge reputations that would make them targets. I would pick someone who is in the same caliber but completely and totally underrated. Maybe like Maggie BB6, Daniele Reyes, Nakomis, Eric Stein, Ragan Fox.

                        [–]Astroman129Bronte 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

                        Yeah, Maggie is in my opinion the most underrated winner. I put her at #4 or 5 on my list of winners, depending on where I put Andy. She can probably kick anyone's ass again assuming people underestimate her.

                          Ah Steve, my man! Hope things are going good. I was rooting for you so badly during the finale. You also proved me soooo wrong when I suggested that both keeping Liz over Julia and putting Jackie and Meg up (instead of Vanessa or the Austwins) would send you packing. I'll own my mistakes! And seriously, congrats man. Your happiness infected this subreddit like a disease. We couldn't be happier here :).

                          Questions:

                          What did you find to be the most embarrassing moment for one of the HG's? (Maybe a competition, a speech, etc.)

                          What was your least favorite week?

                          What's something about the house/show/HG's that we'd be surprised to hear?

                          And finally, would you consider going back into the house if you were asked?

                          Thanks for the AMA and best wishes :). You put an amazing end to a great season, and I'm so happy that you'll always have the title of BB 17 Winner. Nothing like seeing a super-fan have their dream come true!

                          Most Embarrassing Moment: James calling out Meg for being a smoke bomb on national TV! Least Favorite Week: The first one. My weeks were numbered. Surprise: Becky was one of my favorite people to hang out with in this cast. Going Back: I'm thankful for the experience, but I'm done. I can't handle that again.

                          [–][deleted] 25ポイント26ポイント  (1子コメント)

                          Nothing - there was no one piece of advice I wish I had heard. I will, however, say something that I was one of the few to really internalize: It's a game, and a lot of it is totally out of your control. You have to be okay going out at any point in the game. I was ready to go out first. I was ready to go out third if Vanessa won the final HOH. You have to never expect anything.

                          Steve! Congratulations on your victory, I don't want to seem like some repetitive fan because you hear this all the time. But I will say and tell you that I supported you pre-season, you weren't my pick to win Austin was but I did support you heavily and even showed my non-Big Brother fan friends you. I said I relate to a nerdy weird different type of guy. I was one of the first stream of Big Brother fans to comment on your Mr.Blue Sky video I even tried tweeting it to your evicted houseguest (Da'Vonne). So I was a pretty big fan.

                          My question to you is out of all of your fellow houseguests who left pre-jury who do you think if stayed or if played differently would have been the biggest threat to win?

                          [–][deleted] 32ポイント33ポイント  (0子コメント)

                          Jason and Da'vonne. They were smart cookies who really knew the game. If they could get over the urge to play too hard too fast, they could be a really successful duo. Same with Audrey! There's a lot of great second chance candidates in this cast.

                          I have a few questions:

                          1) How did you feel when you found out JM was a superfan?

                          2) I think I remember hearing you disliked the takeover twist. If you could create your own takeover, what would it be?

                          3) How surprised were you to find out JohnnyMac was a superfan?

                          4) What were your real thoughts about Austin calling you "boy"?

                          Thank you so much for coming by!

                          Deals have absolutely been broken during endurance comps before - I swear on my life! However, unless I'm forgetting something, breaking a deal made in front of the entire house is a first.

                            1) I like the three tier system - the upper tier masterminds, the middle tier average winners, and the lower tier winners who got there by a fluke. I made some good moves, but I by no means controlled the game, so I would put myself in the middle tier. 2) I have no idea what you're asking here.

                            But what I think /u/flyingboat is asking is; if the 17 houseguest who played in your season played an infinite number of games of BB against each other, which houseguest wins the largest amount of those BB games? Hopefully that makes more sense.

                            Huge shout out to you Steve, if you see this. You played a great game this year. You probably don't need me to tell you, but cutting Vanessa at F3 was very savvy, & a game winning move. Good job putting on for all us super-fans, I'm glad another one of us one.

                            • What is your go-to DAW for production?
                            • What new music products that were announced/released while you were in the house have you the most excited?
                            • We all know you splurged on a Wii U, but what kind of music/studio equipment are you thinking of spending some of your winnings on?

                            1) If I'm working on pop stuff, Logic. If I'm working more with my classical side, Sequoia. Fredonia really pushes Pro Tools, but Logic just feels better to me. 2) No new music products jumped out at me. 3) I really want a Decca Tree! And my only mic is a SM57, so I want to go shopping there.

                            Hi Steve!

                            You chose to be open about the fact that you are a super fan. No one seemed to target you; if anything they feared you because of your aptitude for puzzles and skill testing questions.

                            Do you think a player hiding their level of knowledge of the game is still a useful strategy? Or is pretending to be a newbie not a big deal anymore ?

                            Thanks!

                            I think exposing knowledge of the game could absolutely hurt you. However, it can also help you - remember what Jackie said when she cast her Jury vote? It's a double-edged sword. I made my decision because I didn't think I could hide a secret like that.

                            Steve I have been waiting for this AMA! I was rooting for you since before you even entered the house and we just had your pictures and bio to go by!

                            My question is, after you did some rewatching do you still feel the same way about Jace? I know the video of him being pretty shitty you found its way around reddit and everyone was very much against him and called him a bully. While it may have felt like you betrayed him at the time, did rewatching that conversation give you any sense of bullying or did you feel like he was trying to use childish manipulation tactics at all?

                            Thanks Steve!

I feel like it would have been really easy to make a F4 deal with them and JohnnyMac and also get a promise that they would have kept you over JohnnyMac if you were both on the block before then.

                            I know you've said that you wanted to get out Liz or Austin if you took a shot at the Austwins, but you ended up taking out Julia over Liz the very next week.

                            It's silly to change things when you ended up winning, but you would have been much better positioned if you had made that move.

                            I did consider it, and it would have been a terrible idea. If I had flipped on the vote and evicted Julia, James and Meg would have turned their backs on me and teamed up with Austin and Liz. The Brass Tacks alliance would have ended my game if Julia left.

                            1. About how far in the game was the moment where you realized you had a decent chance to win Big Brother?
                            2. I remember you said on the feeds that there was one contestant you thought should come back even though it probably would never happen. Who was it?
                            3. What is your favourite thing about mayonnaise?

                            1) I tried to not get my hopes up ever, so I suppressed that thought as much as possible. 2) I can think of several! Alex S9, Eric Stein, Annie Whittington, Kail Harbick & Mike Dutz, to name a few. 3) Mayonnaise is not an instrument.

                            Greetings from the UK, Steve!

                            Was the Big Brother experience everything you had expected it to be? I know it was a huge dream of yours to be on the show, and I just wonder whether the hype of it lived up to your own expectations.

                            And how do you feel knowing that people will be comparing your game play to everybody who has ever played before you and everybody who will ever play after you?!

                            Were you afraid that teh house allowed Vanessa to stay in the house too long. Did you know you had to straight up cut her before finale night?

                            Hey Steve! Congratulations again, you proved a lot of people in this sub wrong, I being one of those people. Loved your speech you gave to Vanessa before evicting her: it was honest and genuine. Have you watched your season yet? If so, who do you think got the worst edit? Who got the best? Thanks for taking the time to do this, hope your post-BB life isn't too hectic

                            Hey Steve! I don't want to be a kiss-ass, but I was rooting for you from the beginning.

                            I see you mentioned you've watched up to Jeff's eviction so far. Has anything from DR shocked/surprised you?

                            Also, obviously for tv reasons the editors ramp up the house drama, but has anyone just been portrayed completely different than what you remember?

                            Late to the party, but Steve, I loved watching you play this season! I teared up when you won. It was awesome to see you come out on top. Take care of yourself and live it up -- you deserve it.

                            This isn't a question, just a statement from a fan. You are far too humble to praise yourself, but in my opinion, you were also quite skilled in manipulation and strategy throughout BB17. Your late night talks with the feedsters were my favorite part of the season. Your "cam commentary" showed that you were always self aware, you knew the score, and you had Vanessa pegged correctly from the get go. It always amazed me that, with her bio claiming to be a master at "people reading", that she NEVER got a good read on you. Props to you on that! You never just attached yourself to a player and "floated" along, you were the subtle navigator in disguise. Not even those closest to you in the BB house realized how truly sneaky you are. You had far more game skills up your sleeve than anyone will ever give you credit for, but your fans know. People who didn't watch your game the minute the live feeds aired, or those that didn't watch your casting interview pre BB, or those that only watched the tv episodes (with terrible edits for you btw) will never quite "get" your game. They missed out on a "Top Tier" player in my book. I'm so glad I got to witness your game from pre-start to finish. It was a great season, one of the best in my opinion, and it ended with an exceptional winner!

                            Thank you Duck! I don't want to really talk my game up because if it's a game worth talking up, other people will do it for me. I feel like I've been talking my game down, and I still have people telling me I'm taking too much credit :p But actually though, Vanessa did a lot more decision making than I did. I was always just the "okay, how can I help you with that?" guy. If I could always be used by the person making all the calls, why would she ever get rid of me?

                            You obviously grew a lot as a person during your time in the house; did your Big Brother experience make you want to branch out and try more new experiences in the future, or are you happy to be back at home/school and back to your normal life?

                            [–]BigHaircutPrimeMitchell Blosomthefecas 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

                            Hey Steve. Firstly I'd like to commend you for a fantastic strategy. A lot of people seem to think that laying low is floating but the difference is being self-aware, something you excelled at. A lot of haters don't understand that. I know some of the answers for these but I'm asking these questions based on things I think the haters should know:

                            1. How did you design your strategy around your personality type? How did you use your "social awkwardness" to your advantage?
                            2. What's the best strategy when joining/forming an alliance? Where do you want to be positioned?
                            3. You mentioned letting Vanessa influence your style choices and then rejecting them for the finale, sending a message. Were you creating a "dependent" relationship so that she'd feel like she had you in the palm of her hand? If so, how do you think it helped you beat her?
                            4. Having seen people's responses to your game online, what's the biggest misconception people have had based on the edit you were given?

                            Thanks Steve!

                            Being exposed to so many new people and things through BB fame, does that make you want to leave your small town or does it make you appreciate it even more?

                            I mean... I haven't really lived in Gouverneur since I graduated from high school since 2011. I went to Cornell from 2011-2013, and I've been at Fred ever since. And going into audio requires me to be in an urban environment, so I'm kind of have to leave.

                            Thanks for doing this AMA and more importantly THANK YOU FOR TAKING OUT VANESSA.

                            I have a hard time saying this, but I thought I would actually enjoy playing the game more. By the time week six came around and Jackie & Vanessa were HOH, it was "here we go AGAIN, up to the HOH room to try to not get nominated." The game got old fast.

                            You're one of the most well developed characters the TV show has ever portrayed, from the sweet kid who missed his mom, to Stevil, who vehemently hated Becky. Do you like this edit? What can future players do to receive a similarly complex edit?

Did you see me try to come up with a zing for Jeff? I'm not that creative :p What advice would you have for someone finding out they would be on BB? What preparation did you do?
