The Opening Round game (commonly known as the Play-In Game) of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship is the first official game of the tournament, played between two of the lowest-seeded teams with the winner qualifying for an automatic bid to the tournament.

We did this last year between six or eight of the really bad nominees and the top two got into the main competition. I thought about doing a separate one this year for the IG models, though that would work better if we had a special nomination thread for them so we could get the elite IG models and not just randoms that might get nominated along with everyone else. I'm sure there are way more attractive IG models than some of the ones that I've been nominated here so far.

In any case, Alexis Ren is a legit nominee and is definitely in, and there will be maybe two more IG models. Anyone with a complaint can register it by voting against them. It's not like we have 32 deserving, relevant nominees, so nobody is missing out on a deserved spot in favor someone who is just a model.

lol@ not voting for a pro model in favor of a random basic cable supporting actress gfy oot

Speaking of Alexis, this was just announced today https://www.si.com/swim-daily/2017/1...it-2018-rookie

Holy moly +2

+1 yovanna

Russia's Irina Shayk.

On billboards all over at the moment as the face and bosom of the latest Intimissimi campaign



also from 2017 we have her at Cannes



Since then she had a kid and still looks great:

Her peak was arguably 2013 though starring Penelope Cruz's directorial debut, this ad for agent provocateur



Full ad (she appears at 2.17 though the bit before is not totally unwatchable)



2013 was also the year of her greatest disappointment. She was nominated for Miss OOT but failed to find a seconder.

+1 Hunter King, Alicia Vikander, and Haley Bennett.

All adorable.

+1 Paige Spiranac.

Shayk's stock has gone up quite a bit now that she's not with Penaldo anymore

With the new season of Mr Robot out now, it's time to nominate Stephanie Corneliussen (aka Joanna Wellick) again.

I'm fine with real models, just not Instagram whores. It's like okaying Youtube prank video stars for Best Actress

21 Savage has been dating Amber Rose for a few months so i dont see how you came to that conclusion.

Acting is acting whether its small screen or big screen

wrong. girls are girls, all girls can compete for miss oot i want miss oot to be the best in the world instead of a subforum embarrassment where all the subforms laugh at oot for being unbelievably lame

My agreeing with this makes me feel so old.

Instead of complaining, the best way to ensure that IG models don't get in is to nominate a bunch of attractive women that people have heard of. Not counting IG models, we don't even have 32 nominations.

The key word there is "attractive" for those people nominating famous uggos *coughmichellerodriguezcough*

Second Stephanie Corneliussen

strong choice! We need good gifs of her this year

Olympic Gymnast McKayla Maroney

I was very much in favor of being anti-IG the past few years, but I think w/ modern tech, IG is where many of the new supermodels thrive. I don't see any added prestige/attraction to some random VS floozy vs some IG floozy. Super smoking non twig hotties today would be more likely to try and promote themselves through IG than trying to become a VS model or something...I'm kinda in favor of an IG play in, if not more.

Fwiw the past two years we elected Ana De Armas and Alex Daddario...neither of these two women are likely to play in anything else that we see outside of a rando Hulu special again.

alexis ren is the hottest person alive

De Armas just had a huge role in Blade Runner. Shes gonna be a superstar.

Her Pretty Little Liars co-star was in the contest in the past, but I don't believe she has ever been nominated. I nominate Shay Mitchell.

second shay

Yo I second McKayla Maroney!
