I have always loved the price is right, ever since I was a small child. I found an episode that aired on June 29, 1977. On observing the models I noticed that they seemed to float if they moved. They would present the item with outstretched arms and open hands. Their arms and wrists had a fluid movement to them when they would present an item. The models touched the product as well showing off all they possibly could without picking up the item and moving it. Their facial expressions showed that the product was giving them "happiness" or "pleasure" but it was obvious that they were insincere.
The models as a whole were physically appealing but they were nothing more than an extension of the product and didn't feel like real human beings. As Tatum put it, they were like live mannequins. Nothing more.
