Congratulations to Gabi Gregg, plus-size fashion blogger, who won MTV’s search for the first Twitter Jockey at the live finale of “Follow Me: The Search for the First MTV TJ.” Competing with four other semi-finalists on the show last night, Gabi squeaked ahead of contestants during elimination rounds to get the coveted $100,000 contract as “the social-media face of MTV.”

Gabi’s Young, Fat, and Fabulous blog has led the style-savvy to embrace everything from daring silhouettes to unapologetically trendy pieces. A Vogue Italia contributor and an international player in the plus community, Gabi’s now representing us in an even bigger way.

“My main goal is to really connect with the audience,” she told MTV. “I don’t want to be the same as the MTV Twitter; I want to keep it personable and keep in touch with the followers. I want to give them a voice.”

Congratulations to Gabi for winning the MTV TJ competition. We knew you could do it!
