Earlier this week, we polled VH1 Tough Love viewers via several outlets (Facebook, Twitter, on-air and VH1.com) to find out which woman on this show resounded most with the audience. The results found Taylor taking the fan-favorite poll in a landslide victory, with 56 percent of the vote. (Only Jody came within striking distance at 29 percent.) We asked Master Matchmaker and VH1 Tough Love major domo Steve Ward for his take on Taylor’s victory and here’s what he told us:

“All the girls that survived boot camp came out stronger for it. I love them all, but I feel like the greatest transformation was in Taylor. I’m so happy to see such a dramatic improvement. I think Taylor is phenomenal. She really resonated with people because she made a conscious decision to change and grow as a person. She’s perfect for reality TV.”

Indeed. Our favorite Taylor moment is after the jump. Here, we’ll give you a clue of what it is:

So get this: as a result of VH1 Tough Love’s popularity, women have been signing up left and right for Master Matchmakers to be matched by the show’s star, Steve Ward, and his mother, JoAnn. The only problem is that the new sign-ons are so disproportionately female that Master Matchmakers needs more male clients to make up for the influx. And so, Steve has a special offer for dudes. Here’s what he told us:

“Master Matchmakers’ business is so overwhelmed with women that we will give you a month free in their service with no obligation to continue and no cost whatsoever, if we believe you’re an eligible man for representation.”

So there you go. It’s like ladies night at a bar except for men and not at a bar. Read more about it and sign up at the Master Matchmakers website.
