her success as an angel should be determined by how much product she sells with her modeling. 

 

Ehhh, not really.  Selling products through modeling is the basic job of a model.  As an Angel, she's supposed to go beyond that - she's supposed to be a star for the brand.  The public is supposed to eat up anything-and-all-things-Aldridge.  I don't see that.

i personally think its not a ugly cover but yes im not fan of chrissy and even i like lily she really dont deserve to be there... would be much better with anne v , or hannah maybe.

And the final irony on her supposedly "meh" looks... I'd dare say 99% of you would date her in a second if given the opportunity to do so.  

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.

I was about to respond, but jesus what's the point on here. 

 

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

And finally the NYDailyNews was right LOL

Triple threat: 3 models grace 50th anniversary Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover

 

Tune in to TODAY on Monday for the first live interview with the lucky models.

 

 

 

Kate Upton ?@KateUpton

OMG! So happy for @LilyAldridge @chrissyteigen and @NinaAgdal!! What a gorgeous cover!! Loving the booty for vday! pic.twitter.com/DTU86s5LeL

 

 

Hard to find the right gif.  RafSecret, challenge!

 

You can never go wrong with troy!

^ yeah, it's just that he doesn't have boobs laying on his arms in that gif.

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 agree. At this point I have given up on the idea of J-Go (and Anne V) being on the cover I just don't see it happening. If she was going to be on the cover she would have gotten it already. Of course this is one of those rare occasions I would like to be proven wrong

Today on SI Now On Friday's SI Now,

Sports Illustrated 50th anniversary swimsuit cover models Chrissy Teigen, Nina Agdal, and Lily Aldridge, SI swimsuit model Genevieve Morton, SI swimsuit senior editor MJ Day and senior writer Chris Mannix.

I would have prefer ratajowski instead of aldridge in the cover if we are choosing one rookie for the cover ratajowski would have been better, SI would have make a lot more money. Don't like Chrissy & Nina for the cover, not a fan their look is so plain & boring. From the 3 I like Lily the most. If it was for me I would had Ratajowski in the cover. Glad to not see Kate Upton again.

I thought that maybe, just maybe they would have put a mention of Anne V having being in the magazine 10 times in a row on the cover. That's the most, right? Poor girl. Think it is time to move on.

I'm with oldschoolsifan.  I actually think Chrissy is hilarious.  She can be vicious but I've found most of the time her targets are more than deserving.  Most models twitter feeds, with some exceptions, are rather dull save for the pics that get posted.  I like that she's a live wire, you need a couple of models like that.  I don't agree with everything she posts but not everyone can be a politcally correct, toe-the-line type. 

 

Amen.

my exact thought!

Alyssa Miller instead of Teigen would have been perfect. Emrata would have been good too, or even Kate Upton.

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.

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.

Moving on, really bummed out that Alyssa didn't make the cut.

Beyond her own appeal, she was always really cute in her public appearances with Nina.

I want more Alyna...

Alyssa Miller instead of Teigen would have been perfect. Emrata would have been good too, or even Kate Upton.

Alyssa or Hannah or any other model (but not Chrissy)
