Greg Schnauel
New York City, NY

Meredith says that it's been determined that Greg has "the best butt on Broadway" but he also has some brains, too. She notes that Greg was a dancer for 15 years. He's also very limber - almost "contortionist-limber" but that was the last century and 35 pounds ago. He does the splits. In high school a friend told him "guys aren't supposed to do that because they're connected down there." Greg's friend Don is in the relationship seat. Greg has $11,000 in his bank and his two Jump the Question lifelines.
