I'll just let the tweeted video speak for itself.

Not exactly shocking, considering her schedule the last few seasons has shrunk with regularity. Regardless, I wish her the best in her journeys and thank her for all the years modeling on The Price is Right. She'll be missed.

I will miss her.  She was my second favorite on the show, with Rachel being the first.  Now Rachel is the only model on right now who started while Bob was still hosting the show.
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

She will be missed for sure. It's understandable given the diminishing number of appearances she's made in recent seasons, but I wish her the best for the future.

I wonder if tomorrow's show will have her giving a special sign-off or something.

Is it just me or has some of her accent disappeared over the years?

I suppose with the limited number of models they already use on each show they are in no rush to replace her.

Awe. Gwendolyn will definitely be missed. She was definitely one of the best models of the tryout/rotation era after season 30.  I hope she gets to give a goodbye on the show tomorrow. Best of luck to her in her future endeavors.

Your accents can change with long-term exposure to a country.

She will be missed but no surprise given her other business endeavors in the biz.  Even though they still have enough models to rotate, I think they should and will replace her at some point since she is currently the only African-American cast member.

I guarantee you'll never see either of them back, considering they both filed sexual harassment suits against the show after their departures.

Not exactly true, she's from England. And Manuela Arbelaez (whose appearance is similar to her) is from Colombia or Venezuela (I forget which), plus James O'Halloran is from Australia, so the international flavor will still be present for a while longer.

Although I wish her well on her production company she will definitely be missed on modeling the prizes on TPIR.
