3-21 Recap Indiana: River Valley Drive
Indiana: River Valley Drive - Feet, feet, feet. This episode is all about the feet. Unfortunately, it's also about two ugly rooms. Neither Doug's take on Brazil nor Gen's mixed greens makes a heck of a lot of sense, and as for Doug taking MPDP's skirt off, it's better left unexplained.

3-17 Recap Philadelphia: East Avenue
