The cover isn't everything to some models. Hilary Rhoda and Anne V were successful without it with Hilary probably being more successful than any of the past 5 cover girls.

Anne V and Hilary were successful models (independent of SI).  SI was just another job for them.  SI used to recruit a lot more established top models.

Saw Ronda's cover first and I immediately thought this gotta be a hoax (unfortunately it's not). Don't like it when non-models steal a model's job. Especially one with so much exposure. And then they couldn't even give it to a strinkingly beautiful non-model (meh).

Not a fan of Ashley's cover either. I find it boring to promote "normal" as beautiful. 

Hailey's cover is, without a question, (relatively) the best because the other covers are so bad. If Hailey's cover was the only one this year, people would have been way more critical with it. 

All in all: Three covers - three chances to make it right and they failed in all three cases. All models are such random choices. 

And the comment about SI loving them all as long as they come in white is unfortunately so true. 

The photo they picked of Ronda was easily one of the worst. There were others (especially the smiling one) that looked miles better than the cover. WTF? I think Ashley looks really beautiful actually, except I'm not a fan of that gorilla sort of pose.  She was also looking fine as a fox in that cover reveal video....

God Erin looks awful from what I've seen what is the point of having her, I thought maybe second time around without Yu she would be okay but the joke was on me. 

Erin looked almost as bored as I did when I was quickly scrolling past her pics.

LOL gorilla.

^  GOD !!!! I prepared a little stuff to say how much this cover looks awful and ridiculous, but Cult, JUST LOLzzzzzzz

... 

Ok, so, thanks everybody for the updates, basically i'm gone to bed when the content started to blow up  

In short, i love Hailey's cover, classical SI.

I love Ronda's cover, even if i hate BP...But i find they did a great job with her, the video is fun to watch !

And, according what i saw today : Dani got my vote, and will have it everydays  

Barbara and Rose looks gorgeous !

So once again we pretty much nailed all the models and locations, we missed Caroline and Mia from the MS and we got Nicole Meyer wrongly ID but other than that we pretty much killed it once again with locations, models and photographers!

 

Good work yall @jj3 @Prettyphile @ILUVAdrianaLima @MarVS and everyone else involved!

I'm so sorry for NIcole...But it's surely better this way. Against Dani it would've been very hard...Maybe Nicole will be a rookie next year !

*Editing to remove my mean and sarcastic comments. I'm just so annoyed at SI's forced BS agenda this year. 

The PC side of me won't even touch the ignorance here in the last few posts, just so bloody stupid.

Wow, this issue is uh, interesting. Whoever chose the swimsuits in Tahiti and did whatever that was to Erin Heatherton needs to be fired. Dump MJ while you are at it too. Giving Ashley and Ronda a cover is a joke. There are a bunch of legit ugly models in this year, who picked these girls? Sofia, Bo, Sam, Robyn. Just no. At least Ashley has a pretty face. The bodypaint is terrible. A bunch of average looking athletes no one cares about is the best you could do?

I do really dig Hailey's cover shot though. Hopefully when we get the full website and mag pics, the non uggo models deliver some good stuff. We know Nina does at least, like always.

I have no clue why so many people are upset??? Hailey still got the main cover and the other two are supplementary It is optional to look or even acknowledge them  

I just think it's a bit gimmicky and devalues the cover somewhat.

I felt the same about the trio cover to shoe-horn Chrissy in there (obviously since MJ lacked the courage to give Chrissy a solo cover).

So...which cover will the SI Swimsuit Twitter pick for their photo?! The model? The PC model? Or the one who shouldn't have been there?
