Contestant Raymond Plays It Safe

A recent episode of The Price Is Right featured a funny and awkward moment when a contestant named Raymond bypassed host Drew Carey’s handshake in favor of shaking hands with model Rachel Reynolds instead. This moment happened during the popular game “Punch A Bunch,” where contestants try to win cash prizes by guessing whether the prices of items shown are higher or lower than a given value.

Raymond had done a great job guessing the prices of four times, a stress ball, ankle weights, a Cuisinart ice cube maker, and a steeping spoon, and earned four punches on the punch board. Each punch revealed a cash amount, such as $250 or $2,500. After seeing his third card with $2,500, Raymond wisely decided to stop and walk away with his winnings rather than risk the last card, which turned out to be $1,000.

Drew Carey Gets Bypassed

When the game ended, Drew Carey congratulated Raymond and offered him a handshake, as is the tradition on the show. However, instead of shaking Drew’s hand, Raymond walked past him and headed straight for Rachel Reynolds. He shook her hand, saying, “Thank you so much,” while Drew laughed at the situation. The moment quickly became a funny highlight, especially as Drew joked, ” Showcase Showdown coming up. Don’t go away,” before the commercial break music played.

Rachel Reynolds has been a part of The Price Is Right for a long time. Joining the show in 2003 as one of the models during Bob Barker’s era. She is currently the longest-serving model on the show and is beloved by fans. Her time on the show includes many memorable moments.

Such as, Alexis Gaube, Amber Lancaster, Devin Goda, and Manuela Arbelaez. Rachel has also appeared on other TV shows such as How I Met Your Mother, Scorpion, and The Bold and the Beautiful.
