MV007

I don't know. It seems to me that it happened before that. She's been boring for over a year now in my opinion. I agree with your second point though. I think her Hollywood turn might be the biggest factor. I'm not trying to hate on her or anything because I was a huge fan but it's just dissapointing to see where she's gone. She's probably more successful from a financial perspective but shes less interesting to me. This is all about her personality and career choices. Her physical changes are obvious as well but she's still a pretty girl. And I only bring this up because of the cat daddy comments. It's like "of course you don't like that now, that was when you were awesome"

Remember when Kate Upton was fun? What the hell has happened to her personality? She used to be young, fun and sexy. She just seems uptight now. I can't remember the last time she had a sexy photo shoot. Probably her last SI appearance and even before that there was a long drought.

I think you guys might be surprised by how few votes are actually cast for this thing. And having a small number of votes would explain the rapid fluctuations as any uptick for one person could drastically change the percentages.

That picture of Kate looks photoshopped. Her ass isn't a strongpoint but I don't think it ever looked that bad.

As for roty I don't have a problem with Kelly winning. I would've preferred hailey but Kelly is super hot and I thought she looked amazing in the tv making of special.

I was just made aware of the Swim City traveling circus. What the hell, SI? That is a horrible idea. Making the models interact with the creepers who would go to something like that is not cool at all.

Yes cause the models are better than those creepers.

i wanna know why they decide to photoshop out nipple in one shot but leave it in on another.

Hailey oozes sex. Nina is Nina. I was pleasantly surprised by Gigi. I've always been meh on her but she looks great in those scans to me.

Emily is just gorgeous. I could look at that face all day.

I for one love the cover. I've never been a huge Hannah fan but this pic is tantalizing. The low bikini bottom pose is sexy to me and that's all I can say. I'm a guy and I think it's hot.

As for the comments posted from other websites criticizing the cover, I don't think you can draw too much from random internet comments. No matter the topic online there are always people trolling.

I think Kelly looks fantastic in that preview. I've loved Erin for years so I'm excited about her inclusion as well.

I think emily didonato would be a great choice. I think she could really explode with an SI cover. At least from a pop culture perspective. With that said. It's hard to believe they'll pass up the opportunity to give it to EmRata.

What are the chances Kate Upton isn't in this years edition? I ask because the past year or so has been extremely disappointing for me in terms of her career. It seems SI is the only chance to see her in new photos that are revealing.

I'm trying to figure out who some of the models were but I'm finding it difficult to find a roster of all the models that appeared. Can anyone provide such a list or point me to a page that has one?

As for the show itself. My favorites were Candice, Martha and lily aldridge.

And I'll give what seems like an unpopular opinion. Taylor swift is awesome and I have no problem with her inclusion.

I was hoping for another kate cover as she's one of my all time faves but I'm happy for Nina. I've also been a big fan of Lilly for a little while now so that was a nice surprise. Chrissy is weird for me. I think her physical attractiveness warrants a cover. Her personality on the other hand is about as unattractive as it gets. I think she's intelligent but she belittles any person that doesn't share her political/world views. I've found I like her much better when I never hear her speak or read her quotes or tweets. And since I stopped following her on twitter a year ago I was on an upswing in terms of liking her. Then last night, I was inundated with reminders of why I find her so annoying

Jennifer Lawrence - Vanity Fair magazine (February 2013)

I really wish we got some HQ photos of her in the Bahamas. But I have to say that her ass looks fantastic in these photos. And her boobs look amazing when they are just peeking out of the water.

There are some candids of her on a beach that are just fantastic. I think she looks better without so much make up on.

^Shes so gorgeous, but it makes me sick. Sorry, but a model with a terrible personality totally overcomes and wrecks their physical beauty. Its ashame..cause I really love Christy's look Why I like Kate Upton so much...girl is so well spoken, nice and humble, along with being gorgeous. girl has the total package

Also I don't know why all the hate on Kate Bock...I think she looked really good this year Though Emily really did shine

I am a 28 yr old hetero sexual male who loves sports and has had an SI subscription for more years of my life than not so i am basically their target demographic and I would rank the girls as follows:

1. Kate Upton - this girl is just on another level for me. She's one of my all time favorites and she blows me away with every shoot. To me she was a no brainer for the cover and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets a 3 peat. Only one model could potentially knock her off next year and she's my number 2

2. Nina Agdal - that body, oh my god that body. Her stomach and breasts are amazing. If I could get candids of just one girl it would be her

3. Alyssa Miller - I am a sucker for those eyebrows

4. Emily Didonato - I could look into her eyes for days. Just a beautiful face and combined with that body, she could move to the top next year

5. Cintia - the freckles kill me and I lover her ass. Big improvement from last year.

6. Hannah Davis - impressive debut

7. Chrissy teigen - this girl confounds me. I love her pics and I hate her personality so I have a love/hate relationship with her. The dirty thoughts that go through my mind because of it may or may not be healthy

8. Irina - she's been a favorite of mine in the past and I think this placement just illustrates the strength of this years models

9. Kate Bock - I see she gets some hate here but I liked her

10. Natasha Bernard - reminds me of Brooklyn a little but not as good imo

11. Anne V - I always like Anne's pics but I never really remember them

12. Jessica Perez - I feel like they don't use her to her full potential

13. Jessica Gomes - nice tits and that's about all

14-15. Genevieve and Julie - butterfaces

16-17. Ariel and Adaora - neither of these girls has ever done anything for me

Hopefully Chrissy will never get the cover. In fact I hope she & SI will do us a favor and not have her back next year!

BTW, I think VH will cap Letterman

Do we have any idea if Kate shot anywhere else besides Antarctica?

Kate is a STAR. I think that's the bottom line. I love Nina and would have been fine with her getting the cover but Kate is getting to a point of cultural relevance that only a few SI girls have ever gotten too.

I love this cover and her boobs look as fantastic as always.

I'm just getting caught up on the last 5 pages or so of this thread and all I can say is that HQ candids of Candice in a bikini are my favorite kind of photos.

I absolutely love her abs. And it always befuddles me why VS touches up these swimsuit shots so much. I can see wanting to get rid of a blemish here or there but, wow, these candid shots always blow me away and look much better to me then the finished product.
