MAGGIE Sajak has spun into a chic, dressed-down outfit and tried on different tops while showing some love for Vanna White.
The legendary letter-turner still has not resolved her pay raise demands and some fans think Maggie will eventually take her place.
Pat's 28-year-old daughter donned a light blue cardigan with her blonde hair tied back while lounging at home on Thursday.
She wanted to get fans excited about the game show's new season - premiering September 11- by doing a merch haul.
The first item Maggie pulled out of her Wheel of Fortune tote bag in the Instagram video was a Vanna Funko Pop doll.
Maggie held up the Vanna merch item with a smile, showing it off.

Maggie - who serves as the game show's social media correspondent- then pulled out a matching Pat Funko Pop.
"Collector's item!" she said with a chuckle.
Maggie also showed off a Wheel of Fortune 2024 calendar to "keep track of theme weeks," a card game, a "cozy" Bankrupt sweatshirt, a hat, and glass.
Maggie took off her cardigan, revealing a low-cut black top, and tossed on the sweatshirt as she told fans to "get ready" for the Season 41 premiere.

FANS 'NEED' MAGGIE ON THE SHOW!
Fans loved Maggie's pump-up video for the new season and wanted her to get a bigger role on the show.
One person commented: "Vanna and Maggie should take over the show! Forget about Ryan Seacrest!"
"Excited and sad that this season is your dad’s last season," lamented another.
"I need you to be the new host," wrote a third.
"Okayy can we all appreciate how cute that bankrupt hoodie is?" wrote a fourth.
"Vanna's got to go," a fifth even tore.
MAD ABOUT MAGGIE
Fans have grown fond of Pat's daughter Maggie and her Wheel-embracing online presence for her 122K followers.
Whether it be guest hosting or someday even being the next Vanna, fans reply under nearly all of Maggie's snaps that she has what it takes given her on-set experience, humor, and, yes, the looks.
Maggie has previously stepped in for Vanna twice to turn letters, once when Vanna hosted and again when Vanna was a Celebrity contestant.
Pat and his second wife, Lesly Brown, 58, also share a son, Patrick, 32, who is pursuing a career in law.
VANNA'S 'LAST CONTRACT'
Vanna, 66, is still in the throes of her contract war, and execs have hinted they may look elsewhere once it's done with.
The upcoming 41st season is historic, as it marks Pat Sajak’s last as host before he retires and Ryan Seacrest takes over.
It is also Vanna's last season per her current contract, which runs until 2024 when Pat retires, according to Deadline.
A source close to the show claimed to Daily Mail: "They want her next contract, though, to be her last contract."
"So there is a little more maneuverability to change things up in a few years when they look for her replacement."
According to the source, Vanna is still looking for a raise in 2024 - and a “tremendous” one at that.
“It is a matter of who is going to budge first, but they both aren’t blinking yet.
“Vanna wants to go out on her terms and retire when she is ready with a nice paycheck to end it all.”
"Wheel wants to make the transition between Pat [Sajak] and Ryan [Seacrest] seamless, and having Vanna there would be wonderful to make that all happen.
“Everyone is in a wait-and-see mode, but to Vanna’s favor, at least she is talking with producers, and there is some progress with it all.”
PAY RAISE 'FOR ALL WOMEN'
Vanna- at the puzzle board since 1982- wants a well-earned pay bump as she reportedly makes half of what Pat makes now and hasn't gotten a raise in 18 years.
TMZ previously confirmed that Vanna makes about $3 million annually.
According to the outlet, Pat makes about $15 million annually.
Sources told People: "50 percent of Pat's salary is so outrageous that no one in their right mind could say that it's fair.
The negotiation is asking for much more than 50 percent of his salary. It's asking for the same pay - if not more."
Negotiations between Vanna and Sony have become "very difficult," an insider close to the situation also told TMZ.
Another source claimed the hostess "feels like it's a statement for all women" and is reportedly negotiating for "a minimum of what is fair."
It's been reported by TMZ that Vanna settled for Celebrity Wheel of Fortune; she'll make $100,000 per episode while Pat makes $400,000.
PAT'S A WRAP!
On June 12, 2023, Pat told fans in a personal note on Twitter: "Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last.
"It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months."

Pat will host until June 2024, when he will step down in place of Seacrest.
Ryan, 42, shared in a statement reveling in the news: "I can't wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel and working alongside the great Vanna White."
