Samantha Hoopes looks like she has gained some weight?

 

She is a tricky one because sometimes she is incredibly annoying with her ditzy, slutty airhead persona and sometimes she comes across as very nice and polite in her interviews.

Sam is back

 

I thought that was her rack 

ughh 

The lineup looks a tad shitty to me so far  I'm glad Kate Upton, Lais and Barbara are back though, it would suck if Nina or Hannah F don't shoot they normally have great sets. Rose B is gonna be a miss too.

I agree about the lineup being shitty for the most part, even more so than normal.

That pose does not compliment her at all

yikes

 

Kate B looks pretty good in this picture imo.

 

I like Kate. She's not my favourite or first choice, but I'd take her over a majority of the girls already in the issue. 

Homegirl has gotta stop pretending she's 24 though.  

So what’s the list of confirmed girls so far? Interesting that they are less secretive this year.

I don't know if Kate B is on this location - that date from her planner was likely the SI Island event. 

Edit: Updated the swim search location with the girls, and linked to their IG because no one is gonna know who the eff these girls are otherwise.  

 

 

Thanks. I’m a little underwhelmed so far. Lais is there so I’m happy about that.

i guess the next location is body paint? i want veterans again, i hope Hannah does it again and Nina since her first one was meh

OH MY GOD Ashley better be in this location, thinking about her doing body paint gives me nightmares

 

There's not enough paint in the world to pain Ashley's ass
