I will take Ashley 's butt on the cover rather than Danielle's face.

We thought they will come up with the "empowered +size model" card but they choose the "Ethnicity" card with an Alien.

I just can't wait to listen the never ending talks about a black woman on the cover for the third time & blah, blah, blah all over the TV & Internet.

And how she is going to cry and being so proud after Tyra and blah, blah, blah again.

I think Ashley's face is just beautiful but I agree... she shouldn't do this poses and shouldn't wear this bikinis.. she should wear suits only..

Alexis is suprisingly good for me. Not on Vita's and Barbara's level but better than the cover girl... meh..

Tbh, I’m not mad at Danielle’s cover. Unlike some people, I’ll celebrate a WOC being on the cover but it feels like such a random ass choice.  I forgot Danielle was even in the magazine, let alone a cover contender. When Lais is right there. 

I don’t hate the cover. I would’ve preferred lais because she rocked last year and this year looks promising too but there were way worse options so I feel like we dodged a bullet there.

I actually like Danielle, she has banging body, a lovely face and I like her pictures. I know most of white people really give no fucks about them doing a diverse ethnic choice every once in a decade but as a WOC myself I'll celebrate this because it's something I've actually been hoping for, especially because I feel some WOC got robbed in other years. That being said, I'm just not sure why they went with Danielle instead of Lais, it's just confusing to me.

But hell, at least Danielle is hot, there were far far better choices

A couple of early thoughts (I'm still going through pics, and the videos will probably take forever seeing as there are like 900 models this year ).

- I have no problem with Danielle as the cover-I kinda like they pulled a surprise, like Hailey a couple years ago-but agree they could have used a better pic.

-Barbara and Lais are (so far) the winners this year.  Incredible, both of them.

-Overall so far the pics are better than I expected

Alexis is a total BOBFOC eh? (Body of Baywatch, face of Crimewatch). 

Really, when will Babs or Lais get the cover, or are they going to Anne V her?

NGL I gagged when I saw the cover. 10/10 did not see this coming

I think Danielle’s face is just the right side of Sexy for me, so I agree but there were much better pics for her. As a side note, which WOC were robbed in your eyes? I loved Damaris and Adaora, and would have loved a cover with either (they still haven’t had a dark skinned WOC) and Audrey quock back in the day.

Lais shoot is awesome (her boobs looks amazing) but I didnt find any photo would could be good on the cover

Vita's shoot is the best one so far

Honestly I kind of agree. It looks like a fantastic fashion magazine summer editorial in places but there are limited “Wow” moments, save for the one of her with te pineapple, or the one where the branch covers her boobies, which are excellent. Yu’s fault of course.

As a side note, Bianca’s face looks the same in almost all pics and she looks a bit skeleton esque in the face or is it just me? Not a winner for me.

I know no one likes her but this shoot SLAYS! Except for the amount of photoshop.

Haven't seen her shoots but I'm really curious about Samantha Hoopes shoot as well. She is kinda plastic but her shoots are always sexy
