'Price Is Right' Model Manuela Arbelaez Reveals What She Was Really Thinking During Her Blooper On Live TV!

The now viral "Price is Right" video showing Manuela Arbelaez committing a mistake on live television has been having fans smitten over the model's "adorable" reaction.

In the video, Manuela made a mistake of prematurely revealing the correct answer during the show's segment, "Five Price Tags."

The mechanics included the contestant having three tries to guess the correct price tag of the prize, which in that case was an expensive car. After just one guess, Manuela accidentally went on to reveal the tag with the correct price in it.

The accident made for numerous headlines and interviews for the 26-year-old model. During an interview with Fox, Manuela revealed that she has lost her train of thought when the mistake happened.

"It was a brain fart," said the now-famous model. "I just zoned out. I literally did not see that coming. My body took over and reacted before my brain had a chance to stop it."

"We took a commercial break, and I was still very overwhelmed, I was in tears. I thought, 'Well, this is it.' I asked the producers, 'Am I going to be fired?' They started laughing and told me of course I wouldn't be fired."

Adding to her insights, Arbelaez said that she did not expect the instant fame she would get after the mistake aired.

"It's been overwhelming, in a good way," she said. "I knew I was going to get a couple of tweets and videos with my name tagged on it, but this has gone viral. It's amazing how people reacted. It's been very positive. Everyone has been so nice and supportive."

Manuela, who has been in the show for more than six years, admitted that this is the first time that a mistake this expensive has happened.

"There was an occasion when a girl crashed a car into Door 3 and another gave away a trip to Disneyland," she said. "There have been small things like that over the years, but I think my mistake was the most expensive in the history of the show."

In resolution, the model said that the next time she gets assigned to that segment, she will be double-checking with the show's host, Drew Carey whether or not it is indeed time to open the tags to reveal the words underneath.
