I didn't think there were any real standouts from the photos, so I cheated a little and chose Izabel as the best just because I thought she was very sexy and flirtatious in her videos. For least favorite, I chose Shannan (although Esti and Cintia were close behind) because I literally don't find a single thing appealing about her. -
Me too.

I don't know where you're getting this idea that anyone wants to see "art" in SI. I'm sure the closest thing to art most people want to see when they pick up the issue is the bodypainting section. I think you could debate whether she even still holds that status. At least here in the US, her prominence has dropped significantly. She's just Tom Brady's wife at this point. And anyone could then revert your edit as vandalism.

^ Nice find. I especially like the second one.

I don't disagree with much of what you're saying, SS. In fact, PinkCouture used to run a Marisa fan forum and when she set up a poll to see which issue was everyone's favorite, the overwhelming winner was her Iowa shoot - in other words, the one she did that had nothing to do with the beach. But I do see a tad bit of hypocrisy going on here. A lot of people are saying this issue was better than last year's (at least marginally), when this year's locations are all incredibly cliche while the choice of locations last year was far more creative. (I particularly remember Genevieve and some other models posing at an airport with WWII planes.) In other words, we demand more creativity as fans, and yet we dismiss that creativity when we see it and blast the issue anyway. Not to mention, I think you have to factor in the business side of things. A huge part of the issue is advertising. Will advertisers be as interested if the issue is taken in a suddenly unexpected direction? Advertisers don't care about creativity. They're paying tons of money to get their ads in a known commodity: a magazine with hot women posing in bikinis on beaches.

I just read Ronaldo was at the Letterman taping for yesterday's cover reveal. Irina obviously knew ahead of time she was getting it.
I just noticed this cover is another Raphael Mazzucco shot. He's now shot the covers for the 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 issues. He doesn't seem very creative to me, but SI really loves this guy. But at least that makes next year's covermodel easier to guess: whoever is dating someone famous + being photographed by Mazzucco = covermodel. Btw, here is Irina on TODAY this morning. You get to see her look visibly annoyed when they mention Ronaldo.
Her body looks amazing in the white bikini.

Am I the only one who feels Shannan Click is the least attractive SI model ever? I also don't get Esti. She has a nice body, but she's so boring as a model and her round, baby face still puts me off (Upton has the same problem for me). I probably liked Brooklyn, Izabel, and Irina best. I'm glad SI photoshopped Cintia's tattoos - some women can pull off tattoos, she's not one of them. Overall, the photos are kind of dull to me. On the sexy scale, I don't think a single photo gets above a five out of ten. For the last couple of years it seems like SI has been determined to create the most inoffensive issues they can.
I was hoping to be blown away by Kate Upton, but facially she's very "blah" to me. Izabel blows the other rookies out of the water (even as scrawny as she is). And that opening video of Irina when you first go to the swimsuit section is .
I think Irina's breasts body looks great on the cover, but her expression is sort of... off.
My guess for the covermodel was Irina all along (although I prefer Hilary), so no surprise there for me. And I kind of doubt her dating Ronaldo made a difference, since about 0.000000000000000000000000000001% of us Americans care about soccer/football. Choosing Anne V. would have been a surprise. Even after all her SI and VSFS appearances, she never really became popular with the public.
^ That's better than her joining the trend of the sexier models losing weight.
I missed the DirecTV special so I didn't see her in motion, but damn, people, Kenza isn't that bad-looking.
Milena Toscano Gonçalves, commonly known as Milena Toscano (born January 11, 1984), is a Brazilian actress and model. She plays the lead role in the telenovela Araguaia. Born in Santo André, São Paulo state, Milena Toscano started her career as a model when she was ten years-old, after she was hired by the Ford Models Agency. She made her first TV commercials when she was 13 years-old. After graduating in different performing arts schools such as Studio Fátima Toledo, Casa de Artes de Laranjeiras and Escola Livre de Teatro, she signed a contract with Rede Globo, debuting in 2004 in the telenovela Começar de Novo, playing the character Sofia. Milena Toscano played Martina in SBT's remake of the Mexican telenovela Los Ricos También Lloran, named Os Ricos também Choram, which aired from 2005 to 2006. Her first lead role in a telenovela was in 2010, in the telenovela Araguaia, playing Manuela Martinez. (from Wikipedia)
^ I've seen several interviews with her and I find her hot, but painfully dull. It's a shame she didn't dress sexier because Conan's whole shtick when interviewing models is being overwhelmed by how hot they are, and it's usually really funny. This time Conan was like, "Wow, you're, errr, really tall. Errr..."
