==Koh-Lanta==
Volunteering to not be a part of the tribe selection, Steve and Cassandre Girard were instead banished to the Island of Necklaces for the remainder of the first cycle, where Steve failed to find a Hidden Immunity Necklace but Cassandre found two. Steve and Cassandre informed each other of their findings and promised to keep each other's information secret before they were placed on the Karwaï and Aopoh tribes, respectively, at the beginning of the second cycle.
Though Steve got along with his tribemates, he did not stay with them for long as he was once again sent to the Island of Necklaces at the beginning of the third cycle, this time with Karima Najjarine. While there, Karima mentioned to Steve his lack of a Hidden Immunity Necklace, which showed that Cassandre shared their secret. Frustrated by Cassandre not keeping her silence, Steve revealed to Karima that Cassandre had in fact two Hidden Immunity Necklaces, not just one like she had believed, and he no longer felt compelled to keep that a secret going forward. 
When the tribe switch occurred at the beginning of the fourth cycle, Steve was selected by Karima to be a part of the new Aopoh tribe, which consisted of five original Aopoh tribe members and three original Karwaï tribe members. The second Aopoh tribe lost the following four challenges and the majority of its members had clashed over personalities, challenge strategies, or ideas, including Steve. After losing the fifth Immunity Challenge, the original Karwaï tribe members took part in Romain Palazzetti's plan to vote out Amir Doukhan in order to force the second Karwaï tribe to sit out one of their men during the next couple of challenges. However, ultimately deciding that he would rather remain loyal to his allies, Romain backed out of his plan when voting at Tribal Council. Instead, the original Aopoh tribe members successfully voted out Lolo Facione. Regardless, Amir was voted out unanimously at the last Tribal Council before the merge as his tribemates felt that he had reached his limits in the competition.
At the final ten, the Tied Destinies twist took place and Steve was paired with Laureen Hugel. During the corresponding individual Reward Challenge, there was a lot of miscommunication between the pair and they lost. As a result, Steve and Laureen had occasional conflicts around camp over the next couple of days, though they eventually buried the hatchet. Unfortunately for them, their recent bickering made them one of the pairs in the hot seat for elimination, alongside Carine Cazals and Pascal Salviani due to Pascal's strategic gameplay. Meanwhile, Pascal knew that he was a target and had a Hidden Immunity Necklace, so he planned to use it on Carine and himself at the corresponding Tribal Council and use Steve's, Laureen's, and his votes to blindside Alain Chrisostome and Karima. However, what Pascal was unaware of was that Gabriel Gubbels had checked his bag earlier and discovered his Hidden Immunity Necklace. Therefore, at Tribal Council, Gabriel and the majority of the tribe voted out Laureen and, in turn, eliminated Steve due to the Tied Destinies twist, causing Pascal to both waste his Hidden Immunity Necklace and lose two of his allies.

 In Episode 5, the vote ended with a 3-3 tie between Amir and Lolo, forcing a revote. Steve did not change his vote on the revote. In Episode 9, Steve was Laureen's partner in the pairs twist, therefore he was eliminated with her at Tribal Council.
