Oh man. VH1 has a new show starting in March called Tough Love. From VH1 Blog:

For all the really great women out there that can’t seem to figure out why they are single – meet Steven Ward. This matchmaker is here to give women a unique perspective on dating – an inside peak into the male brain. Steven refuses to sugar coat anything and instead tells women exactly how men think and feel, so they can understand how they are perceived. This Spring, VH1 is putting his skills to the test with eight one-hour episodes of VH1′s Tough Love premiering on Sunday, March 15 at 10/9c. Steven’s brutally honest approach to matchmaking is what’s made him one of America’s most successful matchmakers. He has the guts to tell women not what they want to hear, but what they need to hear in order to find love.

Right. He has “the guts” to tell women what they need to hear. Guts = Job On a TV Show. No fear, dude.

In any case, that is a lot of words to describe the new show. Translated: a douchebag shits on women. Trailer for this sadness after the jump.

YEAH! Tell them! Tell these bitches!

Ugh.

I understand that the truth can be a painful thing to hear, or whatever, but this guy’s just being an asshole. “I’m the one who’s going to tell you that you’re an ugly fatty and a the c-word and that I wouldn’t fuck you with someone else’s dick, because that’s what you need to hear.” Fuck this guy. He even ELECTROCUTES THEM? Nice. Wake me up when I’m a size dead. The best is at the end when they all think that they’ve been done a favor. Bartender, another stockholmsyndrometini, please. But it’s like abusive assholes always say, sometimes you have to tear someone down just to build them back up again. Just shit in their face and ridicule them and bring them to tears and electrocute them on national television because you couldn’t get that job at Goldman Sachs to build them back up again.

I’m just not that into this.

    He’s like the Tom Cruise character in Magnolia, but for women.

  2. when is someone going to stop sugarcoating the fact that Sir Steven Ward of the illustrious order of the Douche has serious meth face???

    these women are what I imagine octomom to be like.

  5. Why must every reality show tease The Day An Ambulance Came Because Someone Kinda Sorta Fainted But Not Really? Like I’m more likely to watch the show thinking someone might die? I hope they all die, it doesn’t mean I’ll be watching.

    Whoa. That was a little harsh. I guess what I mean is, I hope they all develop colitis.

  6. Let’s play a drinking game with this show! Every time it’s on, smash me in the face with a beer bottle until I lose consciousness.

  7. Ugh that guy looks like such a douche and not at all like a Dude von Dudenstein. The show looks terrible but luckily it is on VH1 so I have to watch it by default. (I do not have to watch Sober House by default). If I don’t, then I won’t know how these ladies (whores) are when they’re on I Love Money 3.

  8. The girls on this show are equally :(
    Maybe if these women weren’t such myopic needy hobags someone would be able to tolerate extended periods of time in their company.
    Besides, VH1 reality show contestants deserve whatever any douchey host can dish out.

  9. Isn’t this that kid from the Sopranos who got arrested for killing a cop?

    BACK IN THE GAME

    • I thought it was that wonky-eyed, rehab kid with the Sonic the Hedgehog hair from that one season of Real World. I could be wrong:

  10. Bottom line: STOP OVERSHARING. Show over.

    I’m all for guys being honest when talking to women but the show seems to be “you as you currently are suck! Because men need brainwashed women who are desperate to serve.

    right. sadlyi have to watch this (meaning follow your blog) for my job. (long story)

    • Let’s be honest. Nobody on this show is changing because of Stevie Ward, despite his “unique perspective” and “guts.” Remember the part of the tease where he compliments the girl getting her hair did? He might as well be saying, “You know what? Given that this is the upward-arc portion of the show, I’m going to say you look hot, even though you look exactly the same as you did when I said you were a fat, diseased cow.”

    Why are they stealing the electrocution playbook from “Saving Silverman”?

  13. I completely disagree with Gabe this time. I think all the things this Douchebag said are true and viable and what makes him a douchebag is that he’s just honest enough to say it, and of course that they’re things no one wants to hear.
    I’d make the same claims to hopeless women if i actually cared (got paid for it) or thought it would make any difference, which it would not.

    • It’s like when your European friend has BO and it’s your duty to tell them. There’s tact and then there’s being a woman-fucker (nullus).

    I hate everyone in the world so fucking much right now.

  15. you know what probably helped them the most? learning to care about what men think of them. they seem like a bunch of people who were entirely unaware that men are watching and judging them. thanks television! you really set that straight! if it weren’t for you they might have focused on having a fulfilling life or doing something their proud of. crisis averted. have fun at dinner, gloria steinem.

  16. I think the best thing about this show appears to be the birdcage wallpaper. Really, I want it.

  17. This is worse than fat camp! Get me off this show!!

  18. Kelly  |   Posted on Mar 3rd, 2009

    Super! —You mean women are judged in this society?? Wait wha? I am going to get a makeover right now! You should have a reality show-you changed my life.

  19. A peek into the male brain. I love how there are male brains, and female brains. It’s all so complicated. What?

  20. Was that Pete Wentz who walked in the door when the voiceover asked who would find their soulmate? Is Pete Wentz someone’s soulmate? This show already makes my head hurt.

  21. Probably the reason that one girl was having trouble finding a man was because she looks exactly like Chyna. MAYBE IT’S NOT THAT BUT I WAS JUST SAYING. Or maybe because she’s a cunt like all women. Well that goes without saying.

    This show is all Drew Barrymore’s fault. I’m not even joking. Her idea, her company, her killing souls.

  23. I would watch this douchefest just to see the aftermath that followed when that one idiot hit herself in the eye with the bidet (which must be a cruel metaphor for something?).

    How does someone who is not a jewish grandmother become “one of the most successful matchmakers in the country?” Oh… his mom ‘trained him.’
    I propose a new crazy reality show that brings together the mamma-douches and poppa-cunts of the world and makes them watch the uncut footage of their trainwreck children trying to inveigle their way into America’s hearts. Seriously, there must be consequences for inflicting this craptacula on society. Jade Barrymore can host.

  25. I can’t think of a funny way to say how horrifying everything about this is. America just loves them some schadenfreude. Here’s what’s the most horrible though: this show legitimizes the whole chauvinistic post-feminism prolonged adolescence frat guy pick-up artist thing. “Hey ladies, we’re pigs, that’s the hard truth! If you wanna not die alone, just give in to the abuse. Also, bam, you’re electrocuted! High fives to my brosephs!” God, just die, everyone involved in TV.

  26. this is the greatest videogum headline ever in the history of videogum headlines.

    I like Steve. I’d like to spit roast him.

    I like Steve. I’d like to spit roast him.

  29. Steve seems to enjoy best the part of his job where he takes a group of emotionally abused women with low self-esteem and treats them like a pimp treats a hooker. Sad on so many levels.

      BEST COMMENT SO FAR! LOL OR ATLEAST THE CLOSEST TO THE TRUTH… sorry for the caps but that was hillllaaariooous. :D

  30. HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY!!!!!!!!!! HOOORRAAAAYYYY

  31. Please, Jesus, let Steven Ward cast the next season of “Bromance.”

  32. I love that when the voice over says “they learn”, it’s not about men or anything, one of the grirls just ends up being soaked by the bidet. Valuable lessons, you guys. After that, the ambulance. BAM!

    ewww! This show looks real sad. I love how “love” is in the show’s title!

  34. ronton  |   Posted on Mar 6th, 2009

  35. jbooogie  |   Posted on Mar 7th, 2009
