We bring it to you every ball! The dynamic duo is back! Derek, The Drag Detective, and Canada's most hateful queen Bucy! This week's maxi challenge was the supermarket ball, so who better to talk about creating looks than the queen who attempts to make her own! With fun, campy runways, a crash and burn elimination, and some wacky placements, we have a lot to discuss. And of course we'll ask the age old question: IS IT RIGGED?
