I figure everyone made out on this blooper. Hyundai, Drew Carey, the contestant, Manuela - the model, the show producers,....
Do you think it was staged?

The reactions were real, you can't fake that.
Drew thought it was hilarious, the girl who did
it was mortified.

At least it was one of their cheap cars. They occasionally give away luxury or high end cars.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Holly Hallstrom would never screw up like that! She was the best on the show.

That one clip plus humorous on-show references to it that are sure to follow are sure to provide ratings equivalent to an 'extra' commercial spot.

As they say in Hollywood, no such thing as bad publicity.

They should be worth a whole lot more than one extra commercial spot. The big winner is Manuela Arbelaez

You don't have to be Jesus to forgive her.

Yes. Most definitely.

I just wondered for a moment what the demographics are for that show: sex, age, income brackets. I really can NOT see the producers being in any way unhappy with the event. It may be "Eye Candy" but when its shown to be fallible eye candy I think the entire audience reaction is even greater. The shows producers could not have done better than they did to get good publicity. Even the sponsor is happy to give away a car once and get the incident replayed and talked about several times. Works out all around.

The prizes on these shows are not
costing anything, they are part of the
advertising deal with the production
company. Advertising is sold in packages.
A car company forks over a certain amount
of cash, and say, 6 new cars, for a 6 episode
block of shows. The producers decide which
shows they're used on. If the lady had not
won the car, the next time somebody would
have. The car is already paid for, or it wouldn't
be there as a prize. If the girl accidentally gave
away all 6 cars, it would make no difference
to anybody connected with the show.

These shows are just one long commercial for
the products given away. That's why I stopped
watching in the 70's.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
