'Price is Right' looking for the right male model
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Men, do you have what it takes to be a model on "The Price is Right"?
CBS said Wednesday that the game show known for its female models will add a male one for a week.
"The Price is Right" will hold its "first-ever search" for the right man in an online competition, the network said. Viewers will choose the winner in October.
He'll get a weeklong stint on the show hosted by Drew Carey.
The daytime show was long known for its "Barker's Beauties," a title that honored longtime host Bob Barker, who retired in 2007.
Some of the gown-wearing hostesses alleged more was demanded than presenting prizes. Over the years, several sued Barker for sexual harassment and wrongful termination, with most receiving out-of-court settlements.

Its only a week of showings...
Does anybody even watch the show anymore? I watched about 2 minutes of an episode with drew and it wasnt the same. not that i watched it much before, but it wasn't the same. just like having ashton kutcher take place of charlie sheen, just isn't the same. drew and ashton aren't up on charlie and bob's level just yet. forget the women.
I used to watch it but then I got a job.
 @BVU07mazdaguy I love it with Drew Carry, no its not the same, its much funnier!
**shaking head**...no...really...

No...
So "nice" to see old-timey misogyny rearing it's head in the first few comments.

A) If you're going to objectify women in 2012, you ought to also objectify men in equal fashion. It's only fair.
B) Women deserve eye-candy too, especially when so many of the viewers and contestants are women. Again, only fair.
C) If as a guy, you seriously can't handle the idea of seeing some other guy in shorts pointing out a living room set for the benefit of the lady that's bidding on it in the showcase, you might want to stay out of locker rooms, off beaches and so on. Or you could just come out, since you're clearly so deep in the closet, you're having adventures in Narnia.
 @Lykos One "like" doesn't properly express how much I love this comment. Oh my god, I love this comment.
what a great gig!
Talk about giving the show a gay touch. I think that show has changed a little too much from the days I remember.
No longer Barkers babes, but Drew's dudes... yeah, NO THANKS!
Ahhhhhh..........No thanks.
