Matt Hensrud
New York City, NY
Tim Gunn concludes his week as guest host for Meredith.
Matt spent $800 on his wardrobe for yesterday's show but didn't consider that he might have to come back, so he had to make today's outfit work with only $60, but Tim's sure it's fantastic. Matt found some clothes on the "interwebs." "You can find some amazing things," he said. Tim said that Matt's physique helps - there's probably nothing that Matt couldn't make look good. Matt asked backstage if his sweater made him look fat.
Matt has his ATA lifeline still available and $15,000 in his bank.
