But once at the gym he finds out the program's focus has been shifted on ''him'' doing exercises. Cue him having to show to the public [[NothingButSkinAndBones his very skinny body]] and exercise in a shirt with the word "weakling" on it.

Cue our girls, all in school uniform, plus a wrestling mask for Satomi. [[OhCrap After a moment of horror]] he realizes their impact is just what he needs... And then Gina announces she's going to try and beat the world record of ''invisible chair''.

*** The show is actually so successful it gets broadcast worldwide... Including their face after Hibiki's stunt.
*** At the start of the show, Jason, wearing only a speedo, stole the host's place, and had to be dragged away from the police. When he finds out, even ''Barnie'' is embarrassed.
