'The Price is Right' model Manuela Arbeláez's mistake on the American gameshow became viral after Thursday night's episode. 'The Price is Right' is a CBS show that gives away cash and prizes to contestants who correctly identify the price of various items. Arbeláez accidentally gave away a Hyundai car during one of the rounds.
Arbeláez is a 5'7" Colombian model and actress who moved to the United States after becoming a finalist in the gameshow's search for a new model. Although she did not win the 2008 contest, she was still added to the gameshow's rotation of models. The model is 26-years-old and lives in Los Angeles.
She made one of the biggest mistakes in game show history by haphazardly revealing the right answer to a price on a Hyundai car. She gave away a brand-new silver 2015 Sonata SE to a female contestant.
“I had an Oprah moment,” Arbeláez said in an interview with New York Daily. “She didn’t even have to play that game. I was like, ‘Girl, you know what? Have a car. Take it."
In addition to appearing regularly on 'The Price is Right,' she acted in music videos and television shows. Robin Thicke and Diddy are two music artists she worked with in 2010 to produce videos. She made two guest appearances on the soap opera, 'The Bold and the Beautiful' in 2010. Arbeláez was a trophy model at the 2012 Grammy Awards ceremony.
She has 36.4K followers on Twitter, the social media site. She has 22.2K followers on her Instagram account; @ManuelaArbelaez. Arbeláez said that her favorite vacation spot is the Bahamas and that in her free time she likes to go out with friends and family.
"On the weekends, I usually like to be outdoors as much as possible. I will spend the afternoon with my mom and get some lunch together, and later go to see a movie or grab dinner with my friends," said Arbeláez on the The Price is Right website. "If the weather is nice enough, I will spend my day at the beach either jogging or bike riding."
