Producers: It was funny don't worry about it. But seriously, don't do it again.

*The best part was that the producers of the show were understanding and supportive*

This video 8 yrs ago.... today I still see her on the show... Great for Adam/Drew for being understanding... She also didn't look a day older 😀

[KISStributeNYC]

Would have just been any ordinary game…but because of this honest and genuine mistake, she’s become a part of the shows best moments ever. Classic!

[maxg]

They got great publicity for this mistake. At the end of the day she probably made that show a lot more money than if nothing happened.

[NameePark]

The way she hides behind the sign so cute 🤣🤣

[damienlobb]

OMG my heart melted when she realised her mistake and hid behind the board. Holycrap. So damn adorable. I'm so glad they all embraced the mistake and supported her. Poor angel lol.

[edhastie]

When you look like she does, you can give the world away. Beautiful young lady

[Eisman]

Good on Drew and the producers for showing forgiveness. I'm certain there's no shortage of other shows that wouldn't be so understanding.

[thomasanderson]

The show got more publicity for it, if they fired her they would have gotten a ton of heat. She got lucky.

[hankjones]

She is gorgeous. The audience would of had a fit if she was let go. Her cuteness when she realized she messed up is priceless

[fredjones]

That was cute how she went behind the sign in embarrassment. It happens. It made the show look good.

If Steve Harvey can accidentally give away the miss universe crown...

I think Drew knew it was one of those golden moments, that nothing would come of it, and he was just tickled pink by her humble reaction. Also, the terror in her expression was funny. I always wondered if the hosts would ever just give a prize away, but I can't remember ever seeing it, so seeing this was refreshing, especially since they gave the car away, and everyone was in agreement not to cause concern over the honest mistake the model made. She seemed like a real down to Earth person too. I bet the thought never crossed anyone's mind to hold her accountable over a silly mistake. Besides, the contestant was likely going to pick that next anyway right? So she would've most likely won anyway. Not sure how that would work.

[DOCTORJAN]

She could have accidentally blown the stage up, and I wouldn't have blamed her. She is so adorable and innocent.

YouTube: “The time is right. Let’s put this in their recommendations.”

[PercentAshamedOfU]

All the speculation about why she wasn’t fired.

It’s most likely because:
A) She had been there for 6 years and had never made the mistake before

B) The entertainment value of the oops was higher than the chump change value of the car. They made that car’s cost back in one commercial break. That’s why they aired it.

[dannyfisher]

She's a good sport! And good for Drew and producers for using it as a positive thing.

[djdapper]

I am so glad every one understood.. people be so uptight like they never make any mistake, and be the main one’s making mistakes

[MrJeffrey]

Anyone could have made this mistake.  She's been there 6 years, she obviously knows what she's doing.  Just don't do it again!  LOL.
