Model

The Resume

    (September 9, 1988- )
    Born in Medellin, Colombia
    Birth name is Manuela Arbeláez Correa
    Colombian-American model and actress
    Regular model on the popular game show, Price is Right (2009 - )
    Accidentally revealed the winning price of a $21,960 car for a Price is Right contestant, with the video subsequently going viral on YouTube (April 2, 2015)

Why she might be annoying:

    She plays the ukulele.
    She claims to be a perfectionist.
    She called her unintentional car giveaway an 'Oprah moment.'
    She got her start on Univision's answer to America's Next Top Model.
    She lost the Price is Right Model contest by popular online vote, but she was hired for the show, anyway.
    She tried to hide behind the set design out of embarrassment after her screw-up.
    She admitted to hiding and breaking down in tears after the show's taping was over.
    There were complaints in some quarters that she would have been fired if she looked like Andrea Dworkin and made the same mistake.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is living proof that the Price is Right can actually be wrong.
    Her blunder likely made her extremely popular with subsequent contestants.
    She was positive that she would either be fired or have her salary docked over the mistake, but the producers and Drew Carey both were understanding about it.
    She ranked #1 in Complex Magazine's 25 Hottest Game Show Eye Candy (2012).
    She was one of the trophy models at the 54th Grammy Awards (February 12, 2012).
    She appeared in Robin Thicke's music video for 'It’s in the Mornin’ (2010).
    She was the lead girl in the music video for Diddy's and Drake's 'Loving You No More - Dirty Money' (2010).
    Mediaite wrote that the show's producers, if anything, should probably be thanking her for making the decades-old show relevant again.
    Considering A) how much the show has made CBS over the years, B) that the car cost the show proportionally nothing to showcase, and C) that car manufacturers regularly line up to be featured on the show for publicity, its unlikely that she cost the show much of anything.
