My goodness, dat body.  Her popularity will continue to rise.  I didn't think she was good enough, now SI needs her.  My how things change.

And now she's a leading contender for the cover next year.

she is not contender for the cover next year.

 

how many rookies we have?

Valerie V , Sara S , Gigi H ,Marloes H , and Emily R. = 5

we are missing probably one.... maybe Bregje but we are not sure.

^ Honestly not for me.

When KateU was for the first times rookie of the year, who could say that she would be on the cover for the next two times ...

For me Emrata is in the run.

I mean not for 2014 but for 2015.

i mean for both...

 

I think she's got a good chance for it, actually. Her popularity this year has skyrocketed and SI definitely capitalizes on that. Not this year possibly, but I wouldn't be surprised if she gets it in years to come.

oh.

 

my.

 

god.

 

YES

 

now that she's confirmed, i'd say she's frontrunner for cover

Super excited for Emily, she has a great body, and a lovely personality to boot

She is in!

 

Kate, Valerie, Emily, Gen...tis a good ta-ta issue coming up!

someone send up the emily ratajkowski bat signal. SI needs to recruit some curves.

I am excited for Emily R, Sara S, Valerie V, hope Bregje is 1 of the new rookies.

Hmm now that I think about it how about a ta-ta babes cover this year?

Gomes should get it.

SI seems to have gotten boob-crazy. Not that I'm really complaining about that, obviously.

having a rookie get the cover is not unprecedented.  heidi klum and tyra banks both appeared on the cover their first years.  it just didn't happen during diane smith's reign from 1999-2012.  actually, it wasn't until diane smith that the concept of 'rookies' vs 'veterans' was introduced.  before that, they were just...you know, models.

 

at this point i think emily might be a safer bet than kate.  the marginal benefit of the press attention surrounding a three-peat is small compared to a repeat cover.  if they want press, it's been shown that ms. ratajkowski can drum that up pretty well. 

 

in fact, that mirror,mirror suit would look pretty great on a magazine rack.  SI 'reflecting' on 50 years.  a man can dream...
