Bo was in Coachella before this shoot. So was Hailey. Along with every other model in the world apparently.

SI has excellent luck with models named Williams. I'm thinking Megan deserves her shot.

Or perhaps others among us like her, but not as much as 2 or 3 of the other girls in the search. Crazy idea I know.

Megan got my vote. Looks amazing here.

All of Ashley's preview pics on the website actually look pretty good. i'm not a fan of gimmicks or stunt casting, but I can't complain that they haven't made her look like an SI girl. Gotta say none of the covers are overwhelming. I'm fine with Hailey, but hate the whole hand over nipple thing. Would've preferred if she had just worn the bikini top. Hopefully the inside is all good.

Tanya has a nice face and a sweet voice, but the body proportions just seem a little off to me. Still, I don't hate.

Nope, I like Bo very much also

She's a yes for me!

http://www.si.com/swim-daily-ashley-graham-finds-out-si-swimsuit Would be nice if these existed for every model.

Not a leak. Just from a sister publication. http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2016/02/09/ashley-graham-2016-sports-illustrated-swimsuit-rookie-video/

Don't think this one has been posted yet. Looks pretty good here.

Isn't the dark haired model Irina and not Sofia?

BTW, I would like to say I'm happy they're having a Jule Campbell award, and that Elle is getting it. The real glory days of the issue should always be acknowledged.

i don't really get the model search this year, just based on the quality of the girls, which in my mind is higher than usual for a search. I mean why is Guess girl Bo a rookie but Guess girl Megan in a search? Are all the rookies guaranteed to come back next year like the winner of the search? Will there be a rookie of the year out of the four? Just seems silly this year.

The middle pic in particular is the one I always thought matched up with Rachell

So who are the 6 in the search? We know Kyra, Daniela, Megan and Ebonee. I always thought Rachell Vallori was also one of the girls. Who would be #6? Or did we not get preview pic of every girl?

I think there are many retail outlets - your Walmarts, etc... - that would not be happy having a cover that featured a nude - although painted - woman on the front of a magazine they're selling. It's one thing for bodypaint to be an inset on a cover, but to be the main focus is something that hasn't happened before, and I think it would limit shelf space in many, many stores.

The Super Bowl is February 7th this year, so the issue should be out within the week after that given prior history.

Ebonee's casting gallery is up

The red swimsuit pic - the patchy-ish hairline looks more like Emily tony eyes. At least when comparing pics from instagram

Eva a huge yes for me! Hope they don't think she's too similar to Bojana to both be rookies in the same year.

Also not shot yet - Jessica, Genevieve, Ariel, Ashley

2 days ago, Joanne posted a pic saying she's all packed for another bodypaint adventure

Looks like Yu is doing this shoot. I miss Walter.

There's one pic of Rachell that looks very much like the 2d pic of the newest model that MJ posted.
