Morning Musume.'14 parts only if it makes any sense on whats on going.
the segment was more focused on watching VTR clips of Fukutoku and less on Morning Musume.'14.
"Mechaike ga suki na guest Morning Musume.'14"

That was great

I don't have any problem with the lack of screentime/talking bits of the other members because they all get plenty of reaction shots and jabs in anyway.
Fukuhime saying today's recording feel gross/unpleasant and her cold "What is it?" to the guys lame excuses, Riho's "his way of thinking is like a kid in school", Zukki's deadpan "Are you trying to stand out?" and Haruna's comment on how his lack of follow through when chasing her down felt awkward.
Besides... the setting as I understand it is kinda like an intervention for one of Mechaike's comedian(?), the Fukutoku guy that's called the "God of Misfortune/Poverty" as in, his jokes usually falls flat and his characters all failed to take off or just end up annoying ppl instead of being funny etc etc.
Somehow I think it's a great crash course of the-do's-and-dont's in variety for the girls. And Ikuta passes with flying colors, in a way

They were asking her to make a combi with Fukutoku seeing as both have the same propensity for failed gags lol. At one point someone said that his persistent character is pretty good on its own and I believe that applies to Ikuta too.
As for Sayu... well I for one, am grateful for Ikuta to barrel straight through her graduation topic at the beginning there. This was recorded the day after the graduation announcement iirc and not letting that sombre cloud overshadow the shooting works great for everyone imo.
Also I can't help but think how happy/proud/relieved she must've been too seeing her kouhais being able to actually start handling the talking bits on their own just as well while she sits there looking (extremely) pretty.
