The thing is what comes with the bra is publicity, talk shows and a name. They are not going to give the bra to someone who doesn't have a big enough name, or garnish enough press to promote it. Wehn Adriana, Heidi and other got it...it was a huge deal. Alessandra still isn't quite famous enough for it. Also I don't see Adriana opening the show, they never did that when Heidi came back...they put her second or third to get a crowd reaction which I see them doing with Adriana, and I see Candice opening the show.
I'm not underestimating the other angels at all, but if you want to go who should have gotten what and blah blah blah, it's off. Adriana has opened the show how many times, and if we want to go with who deserves it...Ale should have done it a long time ago, Adriana should have gotten the bra a long time ago...that's just not how VS works. VS works with whoever can bring in the most press, who the public likes, who can promote the bra the best.
Now, I think Ale should get the bra...but if I look back at how VS has done things...I don't see it happening. With all the work they are putting into Adriana's comeback, how badly she was demand back, and a few top secret projects the photographers and etc are keeping..as well as her...I wouldn't be surprised. Not quite deserved yet again, but understandable from a business standpoint.
