00:00Even in the darkest of times, there's always a spark of hope.
00:06Drag Race Generators activated.
00:12Ah, here we go again.
00:14Always a black drag queen gotta save the day.
00:17Alright, y'all, come on. Harder. Harder!
00:20I'm going as fast as I can!
00:24Repeat after me.
00:25I think we can.
00:26I think we can.
00:27I think we can.
00:28I think we can.
00:29I think we can.
00:30I think we can.
00:31I think we can.
00:32I think we can.
00:33I think I just did.
00:35Oh, my God.
00:37Yeah, that's gonna be a rough one. Just keep pedaling.
00:40Generators reaching half capacity.
00:44Cause it takes a whole lot more than bad lighting to keep a good drag queen down.
00:49Honey, this is how you throw a party on Drag Race, bitch.
00:58My name is Athena Dion. I'm the Greek goddess from Miami.
01:01You may also refer to me as the queen of Miami.
01:04Athena was pretty much the HBIC of Mount Olympus, and that's how I feel.
01:08My drag style is opulent. It's glamorous. I would say I'm close to perfect, as I don't think perfection is attainable, but I'm pretty much as close as it can get.
01:17Ooh, we're in the red light district this season.
01:20Why are the lights off? It's black everywhere. Did I take the wrong door?
01:25Well, still gorgeous.
01:27I'm basically the hostess with the mostess in Miami, and I'm a big drag mother with a huge drag family.
01:32My drag daughter is the winner of the Lollapurusa season 16, Morphine Love, Dion.
01:37Plain Jane is also technically my drag daughter.
01:40I am definitely the Kris Jenner of drag.
01:42Mama's home!
01:50I have one thing to say.
01:52Kenya Pleaser!
01:53I'm Kenya Pleaser all the way up in South Carolina, and I'm here to please you and everybody in America.
02:00She better shake.
02:01My drag style is your sexy auntie that's a ho. I can give you sex. I can give you church lady. I can give you grandma. I can give you straight up .
02:09She kind of looks like Lizzo.
02:10I impersonate Lizzo. That's actually how I started doing drag.
02:15I am a show-stopping, plus-sized diva. The Pleaser principle is always in effect, baby.
02:20I'm Athena Dion.
02:21Bitch, I know who you are.
02:22I know of Athena Dion. She is the grand dame of Florida.
02:26It is very intimidating, but you know, I'm ready to sit this fat ass on these other girls and dominate the competition.
02:33Why is that blinking?
02:34I don't know. Oh, now you're freaking me out.
02:37Girl, what the ? Where's the dark?
02:40Why?
02:41The next queen to walk in is definitely the boogeyman or the boogerman.
02:44Oh, oh, oh.
02:45Gay!
02:46That's a rainbow.
02:47There's a rainbow.
02:48There's a rainbow.
02:49I'm Uni Coco. I am the high-energy, high-fashion diva from the mile-high city of Denver, Colorado.
03:04Ow, ow, ow, ow!
03:06My drag is conceptual. It's theatrical. It's a little bit unhinged.
03:11Oh my god, girl!
03:13Coco!
03:14Oh my goodness!
03:15I know you!
03:16Let me guess, you made the whole outfit yourself, didn't you?
03:18Of course! Every stitch, baby.
03:20Now, I know NeNe from the internet. I know she's a good costume designer. So, design challenges, watch out.
03:26So, are you like a costume designer by trade? Is that like your day job?
03:29No, I actually quit my day job to come here. I was a mechanical engineer.
03:33What the ?
03:34Up till yesterday.
03:35It's very Clark Kent engineer by day, drag queen superstar by night.
03:39I think my coworkers are going to freak out when they see me on TV because I was doing low calculations last week,
03:44and now I am strutting myself on the group balls drag race.
03:47This competition is so important to me because I get to turn my life in a completely new direction.
03:51Today.
03:56What up?
03:57Oh my god.
03:58Is that Jinx?
04:00My name's Jane Doan, and I'm a little lady who's a big problem.
04:03A lot of my drag revolves around comedy.
04:05Yes, older. Yes, older.
04:07Okay, now the 360.
04:08Oh.
04:09Would that be something you would make for yourself?
04:11No.
04:12I would make it better.
04:13I'm extremely inspired by old school funny ladies, Bette Midler and Joan Rivers.
04:22I could hear your gay voices from so far away.
04:25Gay, I'm a Christian.
04:26Fabulous.
04:27Athena Dion.
04:28Hi, Athena.
04:29Okay, I know Athena.
04:30Hey.
04:31My name's popular.
04:32I want America to know I'm one of the best in the biz.
04:35And I mean business.
04:37Big business.
04:38So, Miss Jane, where are you from?
04:40I am from Seattle, Washington.
04:42Are you related to Jinx?
04:43I am not related to Jinx.
04:44Irene the Alien and Bosco are my older sisters.
04:47I have two hot, mean older sisters.
04:49Bosco from season 14 and All Stars 10, and Irene the Alien from season 15 and All Stars 10.
04:55You know, both of my sisters have done very well for themselves, besides the water.
04:59So, it's probably kind of intimidating.
05:02Who is ready for a little chaos?
05:10I'm Discord Adams, and I am the high fashion punk rock maxillist from St. Petersburg, Florida.
05:15My drag style is filled with safety pins, studs, and a lot of gumption.
05:20It's sort of Patsy from Ab Fab, but like after the apocalypse.
05:23I'm definitely known for like my high energy rock and roll performances.
05:27I love to play guitar live.
05:29Hello.
05:30Hello, everybody.
05:31Becoming a drag rock star is the ultimate goal.
05:34Tell us about your look.
05:35Did you make this?
05:36Yes, I made the boots.
05:37My partner made some of it.
05:38Whoa!
05:39Did anybody like make their outfits?
05:41I made mine.
05:42Oh!
05:43My first impression of Nene Coco is I absolutely hate what she's wearing.
05:47I hate rainbows so much.
05:49Can we get into the ball?
05:50Can we get into this?
05:51Oh my God.
05:52What is this saying?
05:53It's saying like, don't with me.
06:00I'm ready for the Big Bags, and I came to eat.
06:03Did she say Big Bags?
06:05Bitches!
06:06I'm Mia Star, and I am from West Palm Beach, Florida.
06:09I am your 90s, early 2000s, hip-hop, dance-a-diva, Big Bags hookah-ho.
06:14I had to do it to them!
06:17My drag style is very mob wives, very urban, high energy.
06:20I am a choreography bitch.
06:22That's my sister.
06:23What the ?
06:24No more Florida, please.
06:25No more Florida.
06:26Girl, no more Florida.
06:27Miss Mia Star, honey.
06:32She's sister of the House of Dion.
06:33She's auntie.
06:34She is such a talented dancer.
06:36Her talent speaks for itself, and she will be tough competition.
06:38Tell us about your drag.
06:40I started 17 years ago.
06:42Whoa!
06:43I have an interesting drag journey.
06:47I started drag 17 years ago.
06:49I stopped for 14 years to pursue dance.
06:51I've been on tour with Rihanna on her loud tour.
06:54What?
06:55I have been on world tours with Paulina Rubio, Rihanna, Britney Spears.
07:01I have performed at the Super Bowl with Jennifer Lopez.
07:04I'm so proud of you.
07:05You're a rock star, bitch.
07:07But now it's my time to shine in the front.
07:14Okay.
07:15Can I say the F word?
07:18Fuego!
07:20I'm Didi Fuego, and I am from New York City, baby.
07:26It's a porcupine.
07:27Yeah.
07:28I actually know a lot of F words.
07:29I am fiery, feisty.
07:31I am a full production.
07:34All right, let's do it!
07:37The vibes that I'm serving are always high polish, high fashion, big T.
07:43Where are you from?
07:44I am from New York City.
07:46Oh, wow.
07:47I am originally from Monterrey, Mexico.
07:50I am a Latina, but I'm not like a cha-cha-cha, like, give you the...
07:54Your name's just Didi Fuego.
07:55Okay, okay, okay, I know.
07:57Didi, how long have you been doing drag?
07:5910, 15 years.
08:00We have seasoned girls this year.
08:01Yeah, thank God.
08:02I'm thrilled I'm not the only person over 30.
08:04Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
08:05How many of us are over 30?
08:06Why are we doing this now?
08:08Athena, put your hand up.
08:09This is correct.
08:10No, I agree.
08:11I love that it's a bunch of old bitches.
08:14I am feeling a different vibe.
08:21The party princess of Miami and Mykonos is finally here.
08:26Yes, baby, the juice is loose.
08:30My name is Juicy Love Dion, and I'm Miami's Afro-Cuban dancing duo.
08:35Girl, she gonna lip sync down, bitch.
08:37I mean, isn't it obvious, I'm a dancing queen.
08:40Some of you may know my drag mother, Morphine Love Dion from season 16.
08:44Another Florida big...
08:46Poor Florida girls.
08:47Oh, it's a family affair, kids.
08:49The fruit of my loins has entered the work room.
08:53Oh!
08:54Juicy Love Dion.
08:56Get your booty over here.
08:58So this is all the same family, the Dion.
09:00Yes.
09:01Let's get this straight.
09:02Athena Dion is Morphine's drag mother.
09:05And I'm Morphine's drag daughter.
09:07So technically...
09:08We don't use the G word in public, just so we're clear.
09:11Mother Morphine.
09:13Grandmother Athena.
09:15But also Mother Athena.
09:17I think this is the first time in Drag Race herstory that a mother and daughter are competing together in this competition.
09:23I feel like I'm being chaperoned.
09:25You are.
09:26You got mom and you got your tia over here, honey.
09:28Athena has already said she's related to Mia somehow.
09:31They're sisters.
09:32Now her daughter is here.
09:33My strategic mind immediately goes, well, they're gonna have each other's back.
