Why Season 55 of The Price Is Right Has Fewer Female Models
Season 55 is using a “one model per episode” rotation instead of the usual two or three, which is why Rachel Reynolds has been the only female model you’ve seen in some episodes.
According to multiple reports, CBS has changed the model schedule for 2026–27 so that only one model appears on camera each episode, rather than the traditional two or three

. The show’s roster remains the same — Rachel Reynolds, Amber Lancaster, Manuela Arbeláez, Alexis Gaube, Devin Goda, and James O’Halloran — but they are not all on at once

.
This means that in episodes where Rachel is working, no other female model is present, which can make it look like she’s the only one. In other episodes, a different model from the roster is featured, and sometimes the only model on screen is male (e.g., Devin Goda or James O’Halloran)
The change is part of a broader set of adjustments for Season 55, including:
Smaller studio audience — down from about 160 to roughly 100 people per taping, a cost‑cutting measure

First live episode in the show’s history
http://www.gameshows.comCBS has not given a formal reason for the one‑model policy, but industry sources and fan reports suggest it’s tied to cost savings and scheduling flexibility
. The rotation is managed so that each model gets a fair share of appearances, but the effect is that only one model is on at a time, so you may not see multiple female models in the same episode.
In short, Rachel hasn’t been replaced — she’s just one of several models in a rotating schedule, and the new format means she’s the only female model in some episodes because the others aren’t working that week.
