Odd they’d release the cover so far ahead of time. Wonder if it’s something else.
Either way this place should be interesting tomorrow morning 😏

Which is why I have an issue with SI, they are trying so so so hard to be woke pushing shit down our throats, instead of letting it happen organically. When VS started working with bigger girls and even with Valentina, they said literally nothing about it, yet people responded to it really well. All this parading around screaming how woke and inclusive they are, to me is pathetic and it feels fake as fuck. I understand the need to raise awareness but this type of thing instead of feeling truly inclusive to me, but in cases like this it ends up feeling more of a them vs. us thing.
That being said, Valentina does looks better than about half of the girls in the magazine. I'll take her any day over the fat ones, any fucking day.
I had no idea she was trans until I came to this board. I saw her picture on instagram (I hardly ever read captions especially from si’s account) and I thought she looked hot. On first glance I thought it seemed like a terrific choice and she would fit in with the older issues. As a straight guy her being transgender doesn’t change my opinion. It only makes me ask uncomfortable questions with myself that I have no idea what the right answers are.
GMA is revealing the cover and it's three girls. Can't remember three girls shooting together so I am concerned it'll be three girls from the MS or three athletes o.o
Based in the silhouette seems like no thicc girls made it to the cover
Cover girls: Kate Bock, Jasmine Sanders and Olivia Culpo
The cover is decent, they are wearing black swimsuits. I think they all also got individual covers where they are wearing white.
All I can say is: Meh.
Bets: Will Kate Bock finally stop lying about her age now or is she really gonna do the whole press tour bullshitting? We're in the #woke era, girlfriend seriously needs to stop lying about it, it's pathetic.
In the group cover Olivia looks best, from the individual covers I think Jasmine has the best one. But they are all pretty meh and Yu's photography is tragic as always.
EDIT: Kate's cover is absolute trash, the more I see it, the more I hate it. This may be their worst cover ever, it's horrible o.o
the group one is TERRIBLE, it looks like they picked 3 pics and added them together..and they look like shit but it's Yu afterall 
Kate is the most overrated SI models ever, she's a nobody and this cover will do nothing for her..hopefully now this will be finally her last year
Olivia is not a good model and her cover is terrible, she should be a celebrity at best
Jasmine, awerage model and the black bikini doesn't look good on her..and i just can't like her face
Its okay, all of the covers are low energy, the one that at least exerts some kind of energy at least is Kate Bock's single cover. They really need to bring back Ben Watts and James Macari. I wonder why they didnt have Josie shoot the cover.
Still up there on the beat meter though I guess.
They mentioned in GMA that the issue featured 33 women, the list we have is 30 models including MS search. I assume the last three are athletes but I have no idea who could it be as I really never cared about the athletes.

i think Ben shoot the athletes, he commented under the SI post
so hailey clausen jumped ship?
3 cover girls- seems like a watered-down "honor" for each of them.

Totally agree!
I used to get so excited about who would be on the cover each year and would buy multiple issues. Now, I'm just kinda 
whatever.
God if this was my choice, I would have Robin Holzken, and Josephine Skriver, while keeping Olivia on the cover, and it be shot by Ben Watts.
poor James, he's the best and they make him shoot the useless athletes
I will say Yu Tsai's photography isnt tragic, the really big thing that really bothers me about it is his color grading and retouching. Its terrible and jarring.
Olivia Culpo
