Who Wants To be King Of The Pridelands

Season 1

Week 1

Hi, it’s Tim with the “Evening Report” from the ‘Net Studio of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! We had a thrilling game today, with some tense moments and some great contestants! Let’s recap the action:

The day started out with Sharifu becoming our first contestant of the day. She earned that distinction by being the first to answer the following fastest-finger question:

Fastest Finger

Put the following TLK voice actors in order according to their age, starting with the youngest:

A: Matthew Broderick
B: Jonathan Taylor Thomas
C: James Earl Jones
D: Jeremy Irons

<fu’ey>BADC

She then caught fire, steamrolling through her questions like a maniac on a mission, and found herself looking at the $125,000 question with one lifeline left, her “phone-a-friend.” Let’s cut to the action!

<Tim> Audra, you’re on a roll! Here you are with one lifeline left, and your $125,000 question coming up. Remember if you miss this, you’ll lose $93,000!

$125,000
Which of the following writers is not credited with developing the screenplay for TLK?

A: Chris Thomas
B: Linda Woolverton
C: Jonathan Roberts
D: Irene Mecchi

Stu: thats evil xD
Sharifu: Uhh
Sharifu: I don't think any of you would know... XD
dinosaurgirl85: D
Tim: Audra, I need to remind you that you still have one lifeline left. Would you like to make that your FINAL answer? <tension in the air as she decides>
dinosaurgirl85: Hmm
dinosaurgirl85: Ok I would like to phone STL then.
Tim: Okay Chris, you’re being called upon here to help Audra! $125,000 is on the line here, you both have thirty seconds and the time starts right now! <cue tick-tock sound>
STL: um :E ... lol
Sharifu: lol
Sharifu: Do you have any idea?
STL: yes
Sharifu: Well?
STL: the answer is A I think... lol
Sharifu: Are you sure?
STL: 90%
dinosaurgirl85: Ok then
kimithelion: 99%
kimithelion: I'm pretty certain hehe
<buzz>
Tim: Okay your time is up. 20 more seconds to decide, Audra.
Sharifu: Ok I will go with A
Tim: Is that your FINAL ANSWER???
Sharifu: Yeah
<locks “A” into computer… drumroll>
STL: I'm gonna feel so guilty if I'm wrong :\
Tim: You’re RIGHT FOR $125,000!!! <wild applause>

Unfortunately for Audra, she missed the $250,000 question about Pumbaa’s bug dishes in TLK 1 ½, and dropped back down to $32,000. But it was a great run, and so far she’s gotten farther than anyone, so major props to her!

The second game featured a very close fastest finger race between LucyLioness and Stu!

Tim: Okay contestants, if you’re ready here’s the next fastest finger question:

In TLK, put the following lines from the “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” scene in chronological order, starting with the earliest:

Lucy: omg

A: “She’d turn away from me”
B: “Love is where they are”
C: “I can see what’s happening”
D: “Our trio’s down to two”

Stu: c,d,a,b
Lucy: CDAB
Lucy: stu beat me!
Stu: woot!!

Stu had to burn a lifeline early on a TLKOB question, but then answered 5 more questions in a row to look at the all-important $32,000 question with one lifeline left, his 50:50… let’s see how he did!

Tim: For $32,000,
Which of the following is not one of the titles in the book series, “TLK: Six New Adventures?”

A: A Snake in the Grass
B: Vulture Shock
C: Simba’s Dare
D: Follow the Leader

Stu: Crap, never read em. 50:50 please!
Tim: No problem, computer, please take away two of the wrong answers, leaving Stu one wrong answer and the correct one!

C: Simba’s Dare
D: Follow the Leader

All right Stu, 20 more seconds to mull it over.

Stu: ahh gonna risk it all on here lol xD......D!
Tim: Final answer?
Stu: yeah... it’s a guess
Tim: No, I’m sorry it was C, Simba’s Dare...
Stu: ahh crap

But Stu still walked out with $1,000, which is not too shabby for his first time in the hot seat.

That left us time for one more player, and it was Lucy Lioness again, the first player to make into the hot seat for the second time. And she was eager to better her fantastic $32,000 mark from last week’s show, and she was playing as well as ever, barreling through the first 9 questions having used NO lifelines at all!

Tim: Lucy, here’s your $16,000 question.

$16,000
What does the name “Kovu” translate to in Swahili?

A) Scar
Lucy: A. Scar.
Tim: Geez, I didn’t even read all the answers yet!
Lucy: lol, sorry
B) Son
C) Betrayal
D) Evil

Tim: Now that’s confidence if I’ve ever heard it, final answer?
Lucy: Hehe, yep
Tim: And of course she’s right! <applause> $16,000!

But the next question proved to be much too difficult for her, as Lucy had to burn 2 of her lifelines… let’s take a look at the mayhem that ensued!

Tim: Lucy, you’re absolutely on FIRE!!! Going for $32,000 and all of your lifelines intact. How do you feel?
Lucy: A bit nervous, but otherwise good
Tim: Well let’s see how you do with this one, for $32,000, and remember if you get this right you can’t leave with less than $32,000.

$32,000
What was the name of the British designer who received the 1998 Tony Award for Best Scenic Design for his work on TLKOB?

A: Michael Ward
B: Michael Curry
C: Donald Holder
D: Richard Hudson

Lucy: Mmm...bugger...can I phone Audra if she is still there?
Tim: Okay Audra, Lucy needs your help on this TLKOB question, ready?
‘Fu: I’ll do my best!
Tim: Okay you two have 30 seconds, and your time starts…. NOW!
‘Fu: Um I think it's B, But I'm not totally sure
Lucy: mmm how sure?
‘Fu: The name sounds familiar
Someone in audience: mmm curry...i had one earlier ^^
<laughter>
Tim: …. Please no talking from the audience…
Someone: lol sorry
<buzz>
Tim: Time’s up, Lucy?
Lucy: 50/50 plz
Tim: Computer, randomly take away two of those bogus answers! <waves hands at monitor> Kazaam!

A: Michael Ward
D: Richard Hudson

Lucy: haha, not what I expected, No point asking the audience so i will just guess
Lucy: A!
Tim: Are you sure you don’t want to ask the audience? You lose $15,000 if you are incorrect…
Lucy: I’d like to save it, I’ll take a chance, it’s just a guess.
Tim: Final answer?
Lucy: yeah
<drumroll>
Tim: OH shoot! It was D, Richard Hudson. <audience awws>

So for the day, we had a couple of heartbreaking, tense moments at the $32,000 level with two contestants dropping all the way back to $1,000 milestone, and Audra who was only THREE questions away from a million dropped back to $32,000! I wish it had turned out a little better, but with guts comes glory, and all three of our contestants today proved that they had what it takes to go all the way! Thanks to all that came and hopefully we’ll see some fresh new faces in the studio next week! This is your host Tim Watanabe saying so long from the ‘Net studio of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands, good night, and same time next week guys! <applause>
