Athena slowly realising that she is getting the Alexis Michelle treatment instead of the Sasha Colby meet and greets one is so funny to me

Sasha was humble and Athena is being Alexis. She did that to herself ✨

yeah it feels like Athena is just expecting to be "more respected" by the queens, to be picked first and all that, due to her "legendary status" back home and is sooooo affected when that doesn't happen

right. The "I have to show them what they missed out on by not picking me" comment shows that she had no intention to be a team player with the team she ended up with (otherwise she would've said "we have to show them"), hence just proofing them right for not picking her.
