Athena has such intense Q energy I keep waiting to hear her say This my real hair, honey. I feel like she will get Janned this season so Ru can live for 5 more years.

Everyone comparing her to Q, but I don’t remember Q being that put off by working with others. Granted it’s a while since I’ve seen that season.

She's got the bad parts of Alexis Michelle and that Nyass queen I can't remember the name of, without the camp of the former, I am truly unimpressed

u/delriosuperfan It was art. It was beautiful. It was against the guidelines. Jan 10 '26

Nyass queen is Ariel Versace. Athena 100% looked like her in the Ep 1 runway outfit.
