I don't think you have to recognize Wheel Of Fortune specifically to recognize that the picture is a set for a Game Show. It would be no less recognizable than The Price Is Right, which is what someone else suggested or a "real Game Show" (as another post suggested) which is what this already is.
If we are going to put in a new pic, could we at least do a live action photograph instead of an "Example Overdosed" cartoon with rather indifferent looking cartoon girls?
Something like this does a better job at communicating the "Lovely" aspect.

That's pretty good.
Oooh, I like that one.
Reaction Image RepositoryYes, that's the kind of thing I was looking for! Love it!
"You fail to grasp the basic principles of mad science. Common sense would be cheating." - NarbonicI still think Vanna works given that it wasn't just a face and a caption but a person on a set fufilling the role of the trope, but if everyone thinks the magician picture works better, I'll drop my defense of Vanna and go with the magician picture.
Any caption suggestions?

Oh, and since someone asked, the Family Guy picture is of a Rabbi in Vegas. I figured something like that would certainly mean the ladies are just there for eye candy.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.It would be nice if the Vanna White picture had her in that more iconic "Ta-dah I am pointing at the board" pose, e.g. [1]◊ (which isn't an image we could use but you get the idea).
Rhymes with "Protracted."I tried. I couldn't find anything.
Do we have enough for a crowner?
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Crowner's up.
Pre-weekend bump...as of right now:
- Magician◊: 4 (yeas:5 nays:1) 5.00 : 1
- Vegas rabbi and showgirls◊ from Family Guy: 2 (yeas:4 nays:2) 2.00 : 1
The Vanna pic's in the red.
This one's ready to wrap. The new pic is up and tagged. I used the caption I suggested earlier; feel free to change or cull it as preferred. Locking up.
Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:
"In showbiz, you have the male performer and his lovely assistant [...] primarily, her job is to look good, strike attractive poses, and give the performer room to do his thing."
Not narrow.
Also, "causes people to misunderstand the trope" is not an IP standard. If that were the actual complaint about an image, it might be relevant to bring it up, but otherwise not really. People think that image is weak because it is just some woman standing in front of some letters. That's why I asked if the WoF set is "famous enough" for almost everyone to recognize it as a game show. (Almost certainly not, tho.)
