MEET THE MODELS
The Price is Right tasks its audience members with guessing the nearest price of various products presented by a handful of models who have become familiar faces over the years.
Born in Medellín, Colombia, Manuela became a finalist on The Price is Right Model Search in 2008, joining the show the following year.
Manuella also appeared in The Bold and the Beautiful and was a model at the 54th Grammy Awards.
Manuela has been married to Matthew Doherty since February 17, 2018; they share two children.
Meanwhile, Rachel is the longest-serving model on The Price is Right, joining the show in 2003.
Before her time on the game show, Rachel attended Lousiana State University, where she was a member of the track team.
Rachel married her longtime boyfriend, former MLB outfielder David Dellucci in 2010; they share one child.
DREW’S WINNING NEW LOOK!
Season 52 of The Price Is Right is the first season at a new studio.
It’s also the first since the death of longtime host Bob Barker – premiering on September 25.
The Price Is Right left Television City after 50 years for a new location in nearby Glendale, L.A.
Fans noticed a bigger change as Drew walked out on stage for the premiere, flashing a smile in a chic suit [seen below].
The 65-year-old ditched his facial hair and seemingly shed a few pounds, making for an extremely fresh look.
Fans barely recognized him, as one person commented when his entrance was shared on Instagram: “I love Drew’s new haircut! He looks neat and polished!”
Another wrote: “Drew you look Awesome with the 60-pound weight loss and clean face.”
A third wrote: “Drew looks great, lost weight, new hairdo and lost the beard.”
And a fourth: “I love Drew’s new haircut. He looks great. So does the set. Good Luck in your new home.”
LOSS OF A LEGEND
Bob died on the morning of Saturday, August 26, 2023, in his Los Angeles home – at the time it was said to be due to natural causes.
He was 99 at the time of his death.
Bob began hosting The Price is Right in 1972 and held an impressive 35-year run before his retirement.
Due to his passion for animal rights, his iconic tagline at the end of each episode was: “Help control the pet population.
“Have your pet spayed or neutered.”
The iconic television star’s achievements include 19 Emmys, a Guinness World Records award, and being inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame.
Who’s Line comedian Drew became host in 2007 when Bob retired.
Fans can watch new episodes of the season on weekdays on CBS at 11 a.m.
