“Hey America! My name is Rob! First and foremost, it’s been a pleasure coming this far along in the competition. I grew up watching The Price Is Right with my family and loved it so much I’d even fake being sick to stay home from school to watch! Currently, I’m an actor and model, who is featured in TV, film and print throughout the world! When I’m not pursuing my career, I spend my spare time playing basketball, football, and hiking. I’d love to be a part of history and be the first Male Model America chooses to be on The Price Is Right! And Drew…see you on set!”
From Boston native Rob Wilson’s finalist page on The Price is Right male model search. Wilson was announced today as the winner of the nationwide competition and will become the first male model in the show’s history. His debut will be Monday, Oct. 15 at 11 a.m. ET on CBS.
Speculation on Wilson’s sexuality is sure to follow. Stay tuned…
