@gotportugal Haha, why are you saying this: Saylor is dead and I can't even

Amazing for the launch! Cannes-worthy look. She is gonna make some of SI’s style-challenged girls look even more down-market.

Different version of Kate’s message for SI’s Youtube channel at the end of Aly's video:

Love her body! This size really fits her! Better than last year’s. Great waist to hip ratio. Barbara Palvin | Intimates | Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Credit to @omer023 for the link to the video.

Video on YouTube: Bianca Balti Shows You Why She's 2017 Rookie Of The Year | Sports Illustrated Swimsuit

I think even if SI knew beforehand, Bianca didn’t, her reaction seems real: Bianca Balti Shows You Why She's 2017 Rookie Of The Year | Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Or she might simply be one of those people who think “don’t count your chickens before they hatch” and only later truly believed she got the title.

Here is footage of Kate Bock thanking for being voted Rookie of the Year. I think it was shot on location at the same time she did her shoot: SI Swimsuit 2013, Rookie Of The Year Winner If I recall right, she said in an interview that she didn’t think the footage would see the light of day but then she actually won.

I believe they also film clips of all models that they can then play if the model gets the cover. That’s why Gigi sounded like she got the cover in the bag last year. Hailey, on the other hand, didn’t even really want to speculate even though she had to talk about the potential of being on the cover.

Yes, all rookies do. Didn’t Kate Bock say as much?

Bianca Balti was announced as SI Swimsuit’s 2017 Rookie of the Year. Bellazon’s pick for Rookie of the Year was Lais Ribeiro with Bianca Balti, Kelly Gale and Vita Sidorkina coming in at shared second place. Here are breakdowns of the votes: Lais Ribeiro: 7 Bianca Balti: 3 Kelly Gale: 3 Vita Sidorkina: 3 Myla Dalbesio: 2 Danielle Herrington: 0 Mia Kang: 0 Lais got over twice more votes than the models who came at second place when comparing individually. Thank you to everyone who voted and/or commented!

Surprised to see your name Or do you just like to post candids even if you don’t really care about the model per se?

@frenchkiki Maybe you confused me with someone else because of this? No, Kate doesn't have a butt that size But I was referring to these pictures:

I don’t recall that. Would need some receipts

@frenchkiki Are you talking about me? @Stromboli1 I think that Kate returning being marked by her getting the cover was agreed upon between Kate and SI. Kate coming back and doing just a regular beach shoot wouldn’t have made any sense. Now Kate getting three cover versions is a different thing. I think it's possible that they were thinking of having multiple cover models like Page Six suggested (a younger and an older legend Kate and Christie respectively and an athlete). I can see why some models might find it unfair though because even if they had gotten the shot, they still wouldn’t have gotten the cover.
