Among all the excitement and competitive spirit, Mishaps are a part of all TV game shows, and “The Price is Right” is no exception having been on the air for several decades. However, some mishaps are more impactful than others, and the last thing anyone wants as a showrunner is to see one of the prizes getting damaged as the show is recording. In an earlier episode of the show, a brand-new car was damaged and the person driving it was embarrassed on TV.

As a way to present cars on the show, models are supposed to drive them into the set and park them on the stage. On one occasion, Rachel Reynolds was behind the wheel and the contestant was a young man named Cameron who seemed pretty excited about winning a brand-new Ford Mustang. However, no one could have predicted what was about to happen and everyone in the studio was left in a state of shock.

Reynolds drove the car to the stage as she waved at the audience in the studio. However, the vehicle showed no signs of slowing down as it rapidly approached a makeshift wall on the set. The car crashed into the wall, completely tearing the part of the set apart. Thankfully, the vehicle didn’t seem to suffer too much damage and Reynolds seemed to be fine as well. Even she had a hard time believing what she had just done.

The long-time model apologized to the contestant as host Drew Carey asked if she was okay. “I think the car is still okay,” she said. However, the veteran host walked over to Cameron and assured him that he would get a brand new car as he made a joke at Reynolds’s expense. “Cameron, we’ll get you a brand new car, I swear when you win this one. This is going to be a damaged and used car, we’ll get you a brand new car,” he said.



 

Crashing a car on the set of a game show is bad but it can't be as bad as giving one away to a contestant just like that. One of the most viral moments in the history of “The Price is Right” from 2016 involved long-time model Manuela Arbelaez giving away a car to a contestant by mistake. The moment left the contestant jubilant, Arbelaez embarrassed, and Carey had a fit of laughter. The contestant in question was a woman named Andrea. She was to get three chances to correctly guess the price of a brand-new car from five options. The first option she picked was incorrect. However, before she revealed her second choice, Arbelaez removed the actual price tag of the car from the board, revealing the correct answer under the impression that Andrea had already lost. It was a moment of pure chaos but thankfully, she did not face any harsh consequences.



 

“Drew could not have been more supportive, same with the producers. They came up to me, and they loved it. They thought it was the funniest moment, and they embraced it, and they’re like, 'We’re not gonna pick it out, we’re gonna air it as it happened,” she said as per Cinema Blend.
