Aug 10 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The MTV television network crowned their first ever “Twitter Jockey” on a live show which was titled “Follow Me: The Search for the First MTV TJ” last night in the finale after the cable network spent a month in the quest to find a voice and face for the company through the social media.
Gabi Gregg, a twenty three year old plus size fashion blogger from Detroit won that spot, by beating the last four competitors to win the vote from viewers and fans in the final elimination round which took place last night. She went up against nineteen original contestants in a series of challenges.
Gregg seemed to be having a hard time believing that she was the winner. “It’s a very surreal moment. I’m just letting it sink in. When they said my name I kind of blanked out. Right now I’m just trying to remember that this is real life and I’m actually MTV’s Twitter jockey. It’s been a long ride.”
According to Sean Moran, who is the executive vice president of sales and integrated marketing for MTV, VH1 and LOGO, stated, “Gabi is really going to be the eyes and ears of our audience. She will be their voice.”
