Uchi, Yoko, and Maru have 6 hours to see how much weight they can lose, following various "treatment" plans. Beforehand, they come out wearing swim trunks, but Uchi has his arms crossed over his chest, hiding his nipples LOL.

Maruyama - 63.1kg (139lbs)
Uchi - 52.5kg (116lbs)
Yokoyama - 62.9kg (139lbs)

Maru's diet is "manly" -- boxing! The guy teaching him is the guy who played Champ in Dream Boy. He did leg lifts, push ups, back..things, and jump rope, all while wearing clothes designed to make him sweat.

Uchi's first treatment is at a relaxation salon. Because Uchi is "beautiful", he gets this kind of treatment. He sits in a tent thing with an herb-steaming thing for 30 minutes. He fell asleep! When they woke him up, he was all sweaty! (Caption: "beautiful sweat").

Yoko's "scientific?" (yes, with the question mark) diet started out with getting half-naked, laying down, and having a doctor put clothespins on his fingers, toes, and stomach! He was laughing and screaming at the same time LOL.

Back to Maru! Next he practices punching for thirty minutes. At the boxing place they check his weight, and he's lost 0.1kg so far, but Champ said that his sweaty clothes are heavy, so he probably lost more.

Uchi's second treatment was a massage with little pounches filled with wet herbs. He looked like he was enjoying it a LOT. During it, he called up Maru, who was being made to run 10km. After everything he said, Uchi laughed in a horribly snooty manner. His progress was also checked, and he had lost 1.1kg!

Poor Yoko's painful treatments continue. At a different place, gets naked again, and gets a massage. ...with a piece of cow's horn!! The show's director called in another doctor, who gave him a foot massage (one of those terribly painful ones that they love to give people on TV in Japan). Every time he questioned either doctor about the effectiveness of the treatments, they told him that it would improve his metabolism. ...That wasn't really his question, was it... At his progress check, he had lost 0.5kg.

Maru's next plan was to spar with a REAL boxer. Obviously the boxer totally beat the crap out of him. Champ said he would go into the ring with Maru and be gentler, since his goal is to lose weight, not become a boxer, but he wasn't gentle at all!!

Uchi went to Ginza to lay in a strange pod that I think they called a "human washing machine"?? The lady helping him was pretty young, and cute, and he kept talking to her, and eventually asked if she was married *cough* He fell asleep again!

Next Yoko went to a clinic and talked to a doctor, but the show's staff asked him about a "parasite diet" which involves becoming infected with tapeworms. Of course the doctor couldn't recommend doing it! But he DID take Yoko to a room, ask him to take his pants off, and..give him a colonic!!

Maru's last plan was to go into a sauna, which sounds nice, right? But the plan was 7 minutes in the sauna, 2 minutes in a bath, TEN TIMES. An hour and a half!! After the first five minutes in the sauna, Maru was already dripping with sweat. Then bathtime. A COLD BATH. Maru reached his limit after an hour and tried to run away, but Champ dragged him back into the sauna.

Uchi's last plan was yoga. He kept telling the instructer that she was "beautiful" :lines:

Yoko's last plan was -- again -- to take his clothes off. He laid down, and the lady blew cold air on his stomach! -300 degrees!! His skin started looking a bit white/blue..

Back at the studio, they talked about their treatments. Uchi was WAY too happy, haha. Yoko had red marks on his back from the horn massage^^;

Yokoyama - 62.2kg (137lbs) 0.7kg (1.5lbs) loss
Uchi - 51.7kg (114lbs) 0.8kg (1.7lbs) loss
Maruyama - 59.4kg (131) 3.7kg (8lbs) loss

Obviously Maru just lost a lot of sweat, between working out and sitting in the sauna, but 8lbs of sweat is crazy!! The show compared his loss to a small dachshund, or 12 servings of steak LOL.
