2018 SI Swimsuit

Does winning ROTY actually mean anything in terms of a model's SI prospects?

We know she will be back in 2019  

^ and the cover if you're way too good  

I really think it'd make sense for Barbara to get the cover. She's done really well building her brand back up over the past two years and her shoots have both been good so far, she has good popularity and both men and women seem to like her. I do think as someone else pointed out though they could do a multi-girl cover to really hammer home that sexy at any size cliche.

Its a crime SI didn't hire Alexis before she stuck plastic on her chest.

You're not suggesting they just made up the numbers?   

4chan hackers ran a couple of simple scripts which creates anywhere from 40 to around 70 votes a second on each platform (pc/phone ect). This script ran almost nonstop for the last couple of days.  Each and every "vote" is from a different IP so tracking is impossible and to SI they look like legit voters. They wanted to see if they could get McGravy to win because why the fuck not. There is no fucking way she got that low of a percentage.

Also ...101%

Alexis might have fake body parts and might try too hard with the poses, but we've seen way worse models in the previous issues. 

I know this question is unlikely to be known by anyone, but I wonder when they pick ROTY. Do they decide while choosing which models will be in the issue? Do they wait until after the photo shoots?

I was just it seems unlikely to me that they chose ROTY this week.

I think they choose rookies partly based on popularity and following and just assume that those girls will win.

This makes me cringe. Alexis looks like a baby hamster, or a 14 years old. How is that sexy?

I think it is a variety of factors including popularity, how well the crew likes her, how well she she performed during her shoot, the model's agency making a deal and negotiating with SI, who they forecast will be a great ROI, etc. 

Anyone got that first Lais pic in full size yet?

It is a marketing BS ploy to create buzz and to make it  seem as if they embrace body diversity. The larger women having low percentage doesn't really affect SI. They could blame low percentages on others and how they are not embracing body diversity, and if the percentages were high it makes SI look good for being "pioneers". They are the "heroes" either way.

Everyone knows you really wanted Hunter to win.

TBH, yes  I think it would be kinda humorous  As I said before there was no way they were going to let Hunter win. It would have made it looked like it was rigged regardless was it or not. Also,  this whole body diversity thing is all PR. They don't really care. Similar to how Dove doesn't really care about body diversity but they want to come off in a good light

There is a quote about about this. I don't remember it exactly but it's something like this:

"If you wonder why a company does something, the answer is money."

I have interned at various ad agencies and currently work in Marketing & Communication. It all 100% true  I don't necessarily disagree as long as it is within reasons.

Hey, MJ!

Stop with the McGravy and give us some Carl's Jr already!!
