Price is Right Model Accidentally Gives Away a $21,960 Car
The model on CBS' game show, "The Price is Right," made a huge and pricey mistake.
During the Thursday April 2 show, model Manuela Arbelaez accidentally helped a contestant win a car worth more than $20,000. The contestant, Andrea, had three tries to guess the cost of the vehicle, which was a Hyundai Sonata SE
After the contestant made her first guess, Arbelaez pulled the number to reveal that the guess was incorrect. However, before Andrea could give her second guess, Arbelaez accidentally unveiled the winning number.
While Arbelaez, who has been with the show for six years, was processing her mistake, Andrea screamed, "I Win!"
Host Drew Carey then congratulated her while admitting Arbelaez's mistake.
"Congratulations! Manuela just gave you a car! The game is over folks," Carey said.
Arbelaez put her hand over her mouth once she realized what she had done and hid behind the board with all of the price tags on it. Carey, however, was supportive and told her, "It's OK." Although the mistake was a very costly one, the Colombian beauty revealed on Twitter that she was not in trouble.
The model also joked about the whole situation. She tweeted, "Hey @Oprah now I know what it feels like to be you! Whenever you feel like giving cars away on the show let me know. @PriceIsRight"
She also tweeted, "Most expensive gift I've given someone #PriceIsRight #GivingAwayCarsUpInHere #YoureWelcomeAndrea"
