Drop Your Buffs

Sean Ross & Evan Ross Katz

With a uniquely queer lens, Drop Your Buffs takes a retrospective look at the greatest seasons, players and iconic moments from the reality show that started it all. Plus, we go straight to the source, interviewing legendary contestants of the game. But it doesn’t stop there. Evan and Sean
