Anybody But Teigen in that third slot would have been better. Heck, with this being an anniversary edition, why couldn't they have given the third slot to one of the models from the eighties? I'm pretty sure that Cindy or Paulina still look pretty good in a bikini.

Like the infant child of a celebrity. Those are totally fair game. What makes it worse is that she then always hides behind faux indignation, as if she is surprised her harsh words have yielded a reaction. It's perfectly possible to have an entertaining twitter feed without resorting to assholish behavior. It's not an either/or proposition.

As far as I can tell, no one has been really mean here.

And you would be wrong about that. So wrong. There are very few models of whom I would dare say that, but she is definitely one of them. And I am willing to admit that my dislike of her is gone slightly into the realm of the irrational.

Friends! Could someone hook me up with the HQ version of this cute little shot? Thanks a bunch.

To each their own, but I don't see how one could get enjoyment out of casual arrogance and occasional viciousness - sinister undertones included. Then whenever she is called out for her bullshit, she acts like the total innocent. e.g. when she first started to mock Jay Mohr's infant son but then acted with indignation when the guy found her tweets and called her out for it.

I do not know anything about Chrissy as a person, but I just find her so, so damn unattractive in the face. Maybe that's where the hate comes from. Nope. Not in my case, anyway. There have been plenty of other SI models I found unattractive. But what makes Chrissy so annoying is her personality. Perhaps there are others on the current roster with as bad or worse attitudes, but they do a better job at hiding it.

Well by the anecdotal proof that is Google search, Candice is a more recognized name than Lily. Neither of them come close to Kate Upton, but she is the exception and not the rule in terms of modern day models who achieve true cross-over appeal.

Oh, I'm sure that Kate isn't too upset about not doing the three-peat. I also think that SISE as a vehicle has gotten her as far as it can in terms of improving her mainstream appeal. She probably squeezed that out for all that it's worth more than any model in the last 15+ years. On the other hand, I do think that seeing someone who wasn't too supportive of your turn on the cover get that honor themselves might cause some feelings of resentment, which would be quite understandable .

Unfortunately, my limited PS skills could do nothing about Chrissy's freakishly big forehead...

Yes. And supposedly openly acted bitchy about it whenever they had joint events.

I'm not sure if I agree that seniority should be rewarded with a cover. And if that is indeed the fact, then surely Anne V should get it before Chrissy?

Come to think of it, even a huge-ass Barbie instead of Chrissy would have made for a better cover... Poor Kate has to pretend to be happy for Chrissy. https://twitter.com/KateUpton/status/434316835966967808

Any of the other models instead of Chrissy would have improved upon it. Though I agree with the suggestion of Nina, Anne V and Jessica. (y)

I hope this doesn't mean that Nina won't get her very own cover.

Where she comes across as very arrogant and sometimes needlessly vicious.

Made this to figure out how much it was Teigen's presence which was ruining the cover for me. I like it 50% better this way.

^^

Replace the model on the right and it would be an ok cover (Y) And why is she looking away from the camera? :notsure: This pict looks more like a candid/outtake shot. She by default ruins everything. Thanks SI Put Jessica Gomes in that spot and it becomes a really good cover. On the plus side, I do love Nina's smile.

(Y) Co-sign!

You do? Can you explain it to me?

Any other model besides Teigen in there and I would actually like this cover... If they had used Jessica Gomes instead of her, it would have been terrific.

i have to be honest she impressed me in "the other woman" from what I've seen. With so many new models for SI, some of the regular SI models will have to go for next year. I wouldn't be too surprised if Kate has some acting talent, but I doubt her range. She plays the sexy young mistress in "The other woman" and I fear that she will be shoe-horned into those roles. I doubt she will be accepted as a "serious" actress à la Jennifer Lawrence or Anne Hathaway.

They cast Gal Gadot in that role...

In the comics, Carl is a full-blown psychopath. I see they have decided to drop that story line for the TV show.
