I just think Ronda is ugly.
Also I've read/heard stories that Ronda is a stuck up bitch.
Unpopular opinion: I don't like any of those three covers.
Hailey's face is just a "thanks, but no, thanks" for me.
And I vote for Mia Kang.
Nina's just can't 
I've seen better porn scripts then Nina talking.
IM back ! i wanna see the special somebody post a torrent pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I hope the Opie & Anthony gang realize how unintentionally ridiculous they are, considering that Ashley is more attractive than all of them combined (said as someone who hates the Ashley cover).
I also recall reading some not so great things about one of those two guys from a model who dated one of them. I believe it was the short, dark-haired, lizard-looking one (I can't be arsed to look up which one of the two that is because who fucking cares), who was a bit of a selfish, abusive asshole, if said ex-girlfriend is to be believed.

damn Kyra girl looks absolutely awful O_o between all of them zero model presence .
Ashley has the "thin/normal faced plus sized model" genetics. In the real world, most heavy set women get a lot of fat deposits that warp their face.
Come back now

Wait, is Ashley someone's photoshop project and not an actual living breathing human being? Watch your wording 
Speaking as someone who lives in a place where deep fried Mars bars and haggis are delicacies, 'fat deposits that warp their faces' aren't a thing for people Ashely's size. They're not a thing for most heavyset women, unless you consider apple cheeks and that bit under your chin most people get as they age 'warping'. You wanna talk about Ashley, talk about Ashley, not about a. women who aren't in the industry who have done frankly nothing to deserve judgement and are b. larger, clothing size-wise, than her.
Slow your roll.
These thinly veiled excuses to hate women are boring.
Call me PC, I don't give a fuck, you're exhausting.
I'm not an SI follower, I just go where the shitstorm goes, so I have no clue what went into this issue, blah blah blah, but none of the covers strike me as commercially appealing. Hailey's comes closest in that she and her tits are the most obvious follow-through with previous covers, but her posing is so... I don't know what it is, but she looks uncomfortable and the way she's holding her chest is fairly awkward? Ronda is, as it's been pointed out, out on a loss right now, and once she was no longer invincible, her attitude went from charming-cocky to she needs to get over herself (though in my personal opinion, I admire her confidence). And Ashley, just read through this thread. Their choices are... interesting and it's going to be interesting to see what happens with the magazine from here on out. If I care enough to follow through.

That's funny, but i rarely see overweighted male models or actors, or singers ...
It's quite revealing of the times that my comment stimulated that sort of response. It's true across the board though, with plus-sized models. For instance, in the Lane Bryant "I'm not angel" advert, those women's faces could be successfully photoshopped onto superskinny bodies. In the main, it isn't reality though... just like HF models aren't.

You want lists? I've got lists.
I wish I could say I didn't come here to fight anyone, but I totally did.
Fuck the high road, I don't appreciate being condescended to.
Moving on: the more I look at them, the posing on all of the covers is questionable.
But then again, I don't think SI is usually a beacon of good posing.
300 pages of this thread and the magazine isn't even out yet
