Little Child King
We're at Sega's Tokyo Joypolis to take on this week's expert.
He's Yuuta Tanaka and is an expert at Grabbing Machines, aka "UFO Catchers".

Sayu has a UFO Catcher 'dance'. It'll be the latest craze all over the world. Just wait.

In comes another guest. It's Yuuka Nakajima. She's also a UFO Catcher expert and is the TV Champion at it.

Time for Yuuta to show us some tricks,
First it's the triangle. Grab the head and have the toy leaning forward with the head on top to try and make a sort of triangle shape with one of the claws so it doesn't slip out. Yeah... Just watch and see!
Next it's how to pick up prizes with loops on. When the claws are open they will go down straight, so line one up to go down right through a hoop. He gets two bags.
Last it's how to pick up a box with little holes each side. Line it up right over the box, drop it down, and as it comes up it'll slot into the holes.
Weren't the last two pretty obvious and the only way to get them anyway? Never mind. He's still clever.

Time for the girl's pre-battle practice.
Sayu goes to grab a toy, it doesn't keep hold of it, but instead knocks it over the edge and down the hole! Apparently like some bloke flipping a table over. Right.

Morning Musume vs Yuuta in the UFO Catcher Challenge!
Rules: Everyone has 300 Yen each. Each go on the machine costs 100 Yen, meaning everyone gets 3 tries each. This means that the advantage for the girls here is that they get 12 goes as a team (so 1200 Yen between them), and Yuuta only gets the 3.
The winner gets Mango Pudding.

Jun starts off - grabs a Stitch but it slips out.
Sayu goes second - it doesn't grab.
Eri third – it doesn't grab.
Reina's go – it doesn't grab.
After more turns they still get nothing.

Down to the last 500 Yen now. It's Sayu's go again. She finally gets one!
With the last 4 tries they don't manage to pick up anything, so that means they've won 1 Stitch out of the 1200 Yen.

Yuuta's turn.
On his first go he easily grabs a Stitch.
Second go – it slips out!!
Last go – he misses!

Some how the expert totally mucked up, so it's down to a sudden death round.
Yuuta goes first... And misses again!!
This is Reina's chance to finally get a victory for MM. She grabs it!
Morning Musume's first ever win!!
It's all too much and Reina cries!

Child Gourmet Joker
New section! Mostly pointless.

Risa, Eri, Lin and Jun all make their way into a posh restaurant where a guest is waiting for them. It's 12 year old Takane Hosoyama, who's to big for his boots. In more than one way.

Yes he loves eating, and loves to say "Filet" even more. Okay, maybe he doesn't like saying filet more than eating, he just likes to say it.

He's having beef and rice. So are the girls – but only if they don't lose the Joker game!

For the game we need someone to mix up some cards. Who better to do that than Shuffle Man?.. ANYONE, anyone in the world!

Shuffle Man? As hateable as Mr Sweat on the first appearance, except I grew to like ol' Sweaty. I doubt the same will happen here. Anyway he's mute a 'Joker' who's only point is to come on, shoot fireworks at the girls, and then mix up some cards.

There are four cards: 3 blank, and 1 with a Joker on. He'll place the four cards face down and mix them around. After the mixing the girls will have to choose a card each. Whoever picks the card with the Joker on loses and doesn't get to eat. So if they've followed it right, they should be able to pick one of the 3 cards that isn't the Joker.

Risa, Eri and Jun all pick a blank card each, meaning Lin got the Joker and doesn't get to eat.

Next week: Yet more Lying Queen and Koharu/Kirarin gets her own section?

This week's credits music is V-u-den's new single: "JaJa Uma Paradise".
