I think that her presence as the status quo is valued...
I think fans would push back on VANNA being let go simply because she has been a part of the show for so long. And while she isn't young any more she is still Vanna. The fans KNOW her (or at least feel that they do). She is a valued part of the show. And of course still remarkably good looking. But if she retires... it is an opportunity to re-evaluate the position from a BUSINESS standpoint. Who would go to bat to protect the job of some not yet even hired random model? I actually think that something of the opposite than the 'more skin' thing is likely. Think of how the grid girls of formula 1 have lost their positions (get it). IMO the idea of a young hot model as a selling point is being seen as less acceptable these days. Like you, I don't see a digital image meeting the expectations of the wheel fans. But what if the screens just changed without anyone touching them?
