They just don't work. The current one is worse than the other one was. All he does is wave and point, oh, and take his shirt off. Guys simply do not make good prize models. It would be like replacing Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune with a dude. It just wouldn't look right.
shareI agree. It actually comes off quite awkward.
However, I heard it is has to do with a gay producer bigwig wanting it.
They just don't work... for you. You need to add that. Welcome to century 21, and attempts to leave behind the totally male centered world where only women are objectified for the sake of the macho dominance. I would lay bets Drew would castigate you for your remarks. Unfortunately, your type will probably always be around because ignorance is nearly impossible to stamp out!

Or at least the idea of male models who absolutely SUCK at presenting the prizes. The two they've had, and especially the one they've got now, only seem to know how to point at stuff intermixed with pointing at the person and clapping. It's laughably bad.
Yesterday, the guy just resorted to banging on the tire of the car he was tasked with showing off during the showcase.
Came here to see if anyone else thought this too. Yeah, the guy really creeps me out. He's not bad looking by any means but he makes me uncomfortable seeing him do the things he does. In Bob's day it was always females, that's just how it was established to be. You don't mess with the formula for some easy PC agenda points. There's a reason there were no males before now. Not everything needs equal representation. I wouldn't want to open Playboy and find dudes in it because of "equality". Stick to female models on the show please.
shareI wouldn't want to open Playboy and find dudes in it because of "equality".Well, they have Playgirl for that. share

Ha ha, I thought the same thing watching the show today. Having male models is so dumb. The show has gone so gay now and having a gay producer as the other poster stated explains it all.
God I miss the days of Bob Barker.

Absolutely agree.

Did he replace the skinny blonde female model ? I don't see her anymore.
shareDid he replace the skinny blonde female model ? I don't see her anymore.Do you mean the one named Melissa something-or-another? If so, she's not a regular model. She's from The Young and the Restless, a soap also on CBS so that's why she's on occasionally.
I just Googled pictures, and yes it's Melissa. Thanks.
shareGood grief! Having a male model finally brought the show into current times, and people complain because of the way he points or waves?
I love there's a male model on the show, and I'm glad that when the first one quit, he was replaced. That says to me male models on the show are here to stay. I like seeing a guy in a swimsuit in the hot tub or on a boat, or even just on a motorcycle. At long last, the show is an equal opportunity sexist!
The job of a prize model is to make the prize more enticing. When you see a male model on the show with his shirt off are you more interested in watching him than whatever it is he's suppose to be demonstrating? If so then he's not doing a very good job. The prize should always be the main focus.
shareOh, so the beautiful female models don't make the prizes more enticing? Huh!
shareOh, so the beautiful female models don't make the prizes more enticing? Huh!I think that's exactly the OP's point, they absolutely DO. Because they actually know how to present it.
I love it when he pounds the car!
