Dixie D'Koi from Davao. She is my favorite. I'm just saying it right now. Dixie D'Koi, I'm your biggest fan. I'm so excited. From her entrance look till now, I'm a fan. Her entrance look is amazing. Entrance look, promo look, everything. I love it, I love it, I love it. I will say, this queen looks different every single time you see her. Yes. She looks like different people. That's not a bad thing. I just think it's so interesting how she's really a chameleon because from her performance, her runway, her entrance, her promo, 4 different people. She looks really young though, so let's see, like, if she can maintain that standard all throughout the season. Well, we'll get to her talent show, but Dixie D'Koi, I am a fan. Me too. Okay, next is Merx. Is our ballroom diva. I'm excited to see ballroom. I think it's so amazing how ballroom has expanded all over the world and it's integrated into drag. It's synonymous with a lot of the things, especially because of Drag Race. Ballroom culture, ballroom terms have permeated globally. I can just tell you from India right now, there is a ballroom scene in India. They have vogue battles, they have balls. So it's beautiful to see how I mean, that's so far removed from where it all originated from. I went to the Philippines and actually took classes in ballroom. A voguing class? There's an entire community in the Philippines of voguing. Exactly, it's beautiful. And Merckx has made a name for herself. And I really liked her talent. I root for her.
