Price Is Right Model Gives Away Car by Mistake: $21,960 Fail

Publish date: 2024-08-17

That is one pricey fail! The Price Is Right model Manuela Arbelaez made a huge blunder on the CBS game show on Thursday, April 2, accidentally giving away a car to an undeserving contestant.

The contestant named Andrea had to guess the price tag of the vehicle, and was given three chances to match the correct amount. Before she could even guess the correct cost of the car, Arbelaez, 26, who's been with the show for six years, accidentally unveiled the "winning" price of the Hyundai Sonata SE ($21,960).

"I WIN!" Andrea cheered, while Arbelaez processed her blunder and covered her mouth. Host Drew Carey agreed with the lucky winner and said: "Congratulations! Manuela just gave you a car! The game is over folks."

While the Colombian beauty made a mega mistake during the show, she told fans on Twitter that she was fine after the flub.

For those of you asking: the producers and @DrewFromTV couldn't have been more supportive and understanding. I'm not in trouble 🙂 phew!

She even joked about the incident — and yes, Oprah Winfrey was invoked.

I don't usually give expensive gifts, but when I do is a $21,960 CAR. #YoureWelcomeAndrea #WokeUpFeelingGenerous pic.twitter.com/cL84sZAGxG

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
