Matt and Kari have also tried this trend with varying levels of success. Carli initially felt she had “messed up” certain details, but she and viewers alike were “stunned” after she saw Matt’s portrait.
Despite warning that she was not a “painter or artist”, Kari couldn’t help but ask her partner if he had tried to see the “nightmare” he had created.
