The show lost a BIG sexual discrimination lawsuit in the recent past. There may have been a tell all book by one of the earlier models as well; I'm a little fuzzy on that.
The addition of a male model or two seems to have been part of rehabbing their image.
Vanna won a massive lawsuit on Wheel of Fortune. She basically has a guaranteed job for life as long as she adheres to the letter of her contract.
And the male model thing... Makes sense. I suppose the demographics on game shows are heavily female. I make no implications about that. I actually enjoy Jeopardy and Wheel. So does my SO's dad.
