'Price is Right' model Manuela Arbelaez keeps job after $21,960 error

LOS ANGELES – "The Price is Right" model Manuela Arbelaez thought she would have to come on down to the unemployment line after she mistakenly revealed the price of a new car on the game show.

The 26-year-old model said in an interview Friday that she lost her train of thought while exposing the answers to "Five Price Tags," a game that involves correctly choosing a vehicle's value among five oversized tags. Arbelaez accidently unmasked the correct $21,960 price after the contestant's first pick, even though the participant still had two more chances to guess.

Though she laughed about it after Twitter went nuts over the mistake -- the show aired Friday, having been taped the week before -- she seriously thought she would be fired after her "brain fart" as she called it in an interview after the telecast. She tearfully went to producers and said, "Am I going to be fired?" They just laughed and told her "Of course not!"

Why would they fire someone they knew was going to get "Price is Right" more publicity than it's had in the last three years combined?
The clip of the "brain fart" got three million hits on you.tube yesterday (Friday 4/3) alone!

Arbeaez did have fun with it after the show aired. She sent out a Tweet that said: "I don't usually give expensive gifts, but when I do, it is a $21,960 car. #You'reWelcomeAndrea #WokeUpFeelingGenerous.
