Hayden won Big Brother 12 by a jury vote of 4-3, awarding him the $500,000 prize.

Survivor

In 2013, Moss was a contestant on Survivor: Blood vs. Water along with his girlfriend, Kat Edorrson. He was placed on the "Tadhana" tribe along with the game's other new players. Kat was voted out while the two were on separate tribes, yet when presented with the option to allow her to take his place in the game, Moss stayed put on his tribe and Kat was eliminated after placing last in a challenge. After the merge, Hayden's core alliance stayed together for four votes before his closest ally, Caleb Bankston, was voted out. With his back against the wall, Moss successfully convinced tribe-mate Ciera Eastin to vote with him and ally, Katie Collins, to take the upper hand in the game away from the alliance of returning players, which had included Ciera up until that point. Eventually, Moss was voted out at the final-5 vote and did not win his way back in after losing a challenge at Redemption Island. This made him the 5th member of the 8 member jury. In the end, Moss cast his jury vote for Tyson Apostol, the game's victor.
