The Lion King Goes On

Season 1

Week 13

Hello and a warm welcome to everyone as we recap the day’s action on Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! I hope all our viewers out there are having a most enjoyable holiday season so far. As expected, we had quite a small turnout today, but today’s episode was one of the most INTENSE games ever witnessed, and I think our players will attest to that!

Unfortunately the 1pm game was cancelled due to lack of participants, but we had a couple new players do very well on their first trip to the Hot Seat. Let’s see how the action played out today:

“simba_malkia” is Lea member HasiraKali (Amanda) from San Antonio, TX
“Stevie Rader” is zazulover01 (Stevie) from… somewhere in cyberspace!

Tim: Contestants, here is the first fastest finger question. Good luck!

Fastest Finger
In TLK during the “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” scene, put the following animals in the order you see them once the “pyramid” starts to collapse, starting at the top:

A: Elephant
B: Giraffe
C: Anteater
D: Antelope

simba_malkia: C D B A
Stevie Rader: dcba

Correct Order: C, B, D, A

Nobody got that one right, so we did a replacement one to find ourselves a winner.

Put the following “Nala” lines from TLK in chronological order, starting with the earliest:

tim646man:
A: “I’ve really missed you”
B: “What’s so great about the waterhole?”
C: “I laugh in the face of danger”
D: “Pinned ya again!”

simba_malkia: B D A C
Stevie Rader: bdca

Correct order: B, D, A, C

And it was Amanda with the right answer this time around! I actually recruited her on the spur of the moment to play the game, and minutes later she was in the hot seat with a chance to win a million dollars, what a deal!
<theme music plays>
Tim: Welcome back to Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! I’m here with Amanda from east Texas, Houston I believe?
simba_malkia: San Antonio
Tim: Oh that’s right, pardon me. Speaking of which, she is a HUGE “Lion King on Broadway” fan, going to see the show seven times when the show comes to San Antonio in a few months?
simba_malkia: yes XD
Tim: Well that will be a treat, I wish I could do that. Are you ready to play Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands, Amanda?
simba_malkia: I'm ready lol <audience cheers>
Tim: All right, let’s play!

For being a newcomer to the game, Amanda’s knowledge and courage in the hot seat was beyond impressive. Here she is climbing up the money ladder:

Tim: Amanda, you’re now only seven questions away from the million, going for $16,000 now, and most importantly, you still have all of your lifelines left!

$16,000
In TLK 1 ½, when Pumbaa accidentally switches the channel, he says that he thought the remote was a what?

A: Brownie
B: Cookie
C: Pancake
D: Muffin

simba_malkia: A
Tim: Quick on the trigger that time, pretty sure about it I’m guessing!
simba_malkia: that line cracks me up
Tim: Wanna make that your FINAL answer?
simba_malkia: final answer
<lock-in A>
Tim: Did Pumbaa sit on a “brownie”… yes he did! You’re right for $16,000! <wild applause>
simba_malkia: wow
Tim: Well I gotta tell everyone watching out there, we have a player. I’ve been hosting the show for over four months now and only ONE time has a contestant reached the $32,000 level without using any lifelines. Amanda, let’s add to that list! Here’s the big $32,000 question:

$32,000
According to the official TLKOB Playbill, how long does the show run including the 15-minute intermission?

A: 2 hours 20 minutes
B: 2 hours 40 minutes
C: 2 hours 55 minutes
D: 3 hours 10 minutes

Tim: I do need to remind you that you lose $15,000 and drop back down to $1,000 if you miss this…
simba_malkia: B
simba_malkia: I thought my playbill says 2 hour 45
simba_malkia: I'll just say b
simba_malkia: cause that's closest to what I have
Tim: Maybe the intermission lengthened five minutes because people were complaining about the lines in the bathroom… <laughter>
Tim: Anyway, Amanda, for $32,000 and a place in Pride Land history, final answer?
simba_malkia: yeah
<Lock-in B, deafening silence>
<flashes correct answer: B: 2 hours 40 minutes>
Tim: YOU GOT IT! Well done! <roaring applause and cheers>
Thirty-two thousand dollars is now yours to keep!
simba_malkia: sweet
Tim: And you’re the second contestant ever behind Sharifu to reach this level with all of your lifelines left, that’s just incredible. And you’re in really great position here to climb even higher, just don’t do anything, you know…
simba_malkia: stupid?
Tim: Well I didn’t want to say that…
simba_malkia: lol

She used the 50:50 on the $64,000 question about the first group of animals to bow to Simba in TLK’s opening Circle of Life, and that helped her correctly select the answer “Zebras.” Now, watch closely as she goes for $125,000 with her Phone-A-Friend, Ask-the Audience AND the Double Dip lifeline still in her possession. Can you feel her heart pounding through the microphone?

$125,000
In TLK 1 ½, which of the following is not one of the chapter titles on the U.S. DVD?

A: Real Estate Ventures
B: Simba Joins the Club
C: Paradise at Last
D: In the Beginning

simba_malkia: how does double dip work again?
Tim: It allows you to choose two of the four possible answers. You must decide to use the Double Dip before using any other lifeline, but you may use other lifelines after you choose to “Double Dip.” Sorry this is a little confusing…
simba_malkia: its ok
Tim: The last thing to remember is that if you decide to use the double dip, it’s a win-or-lose scenario. You can’t just pick one and talk away.
simba_malkia: oh ok
Tim: Would you like to use the Double Dip, Amanda?
simba_malkia: yes
Tim: Ok it’s done. Now would you like to ask Stevie for help?
simba_malkia: no let's just try this one
Tim: Sure. What are you thinking is NOT one of the DVD chapter titles?
simba_malkia: b
Tim: “Simba joins the club.” Final answer?
simba_malkia: for the first one?
Tim: Yes
simba_malkia: yes
<lock-in B>
<wrong answer crescendo, audience awws>
Tim: Oh that’s incorrect, but that’s okay! Now you have the option of guessing again, or going to your friend Stevie for help first.
simba_malkia: ok
simba_malkia: let's do ask the audience
Tim: Well, we have a very abbreviated audience lifeline today! Stevie, go ahead and vote now!

A: 100% B: 0% C: 0% D: 0%

Tim: I wonder who chose A… was that what you were leaning towards Amanda?
simba_malkia: it wasn't
Tim: Oh shoot, well your last lifeline won’t be of much use because you’d be calling the same person…
simba_malkia: right
simba_malkia: go with a
Tim: Okay this is it. If A is correct, you win $125,000. If it’s not, you lose $32,000 and drop back to $32,000. Is that your FINAL ANSWER?!?!?
<very long pause, think music booms in background>
Tim: Amanda? Don’t seem like you’re so sure.
simba_malkia: I'm not lol
Tim: I don’t blame you, this is a lot of money… But in the interest of time I will have to ask for your decision.
simba_malkia: c
Tim: Oh wow, change of heart to C: Paradise at Last. Is that your $125,000 Final answer?
simba_malkia: final I guess
<lock-in C, drumroll, complete silence>
<to be continued>
<drumroll continues, close-up of Amanda>
Tim: I’m so sorry my friend, that’s wrong. <audience awws>
simba_malkia: aww
Tim: Let’s take a look at the right answer:

D: In the Beginning

Well at least that wasn’t what Stevie said. Amanda, it was a pleasure to have you as a contestant and here’s your check for $32,000!
simba_malkia: I'm all shaky lol
Tim: haha, it’s all over now!
simba_malkia: alrighty
simba_malkia: that was fun

Next Stevie tried her turn in the hot seat! She was also doing very well, and was going for the $16,000 question with two of her lifelines left, the “Ask Amanda” and “Phone Amanda”

$16,000
In TLKOB, what “scary” animal does young Simba notice that prompts Mufasa to explain the “Circle of Life?”

A: Vulture
B: Buzzard
C: Wildebeest
D: Antelope

Tim: Now remember this is the Broadway stage production, not the movie.
Stevie Rader: d
Tim: Antelope. Confident about that?
Stevie Rader: b
Tim: Oops, not that confident evidently. Buzzard – final answer?
Stevie Rader: yes
<lock-in B>
Tim: Stevie suddenly changed her mind on that one… and we’re all glad she did because she just won $16,000! <wild applause> Great job!

Tim: Here’s the important one Stevie: If you answer this next question correctly you are not only guaranteed $32,000 but you also receive access to the “Double Dip” lifeline which I will explain later. Ready to go for $32,000?
Stevie Rader: ready

$32,000
In TLK II: Simba’s Pride, when Timon and Pumbaa run into Kiara on her hunt, which of the following items was not on Timon’s “Shopping List”?

A: Pelt
B: Throw pillows
C: Tablecloth
D: Potpourri

Stevie Rader: c
Tim: You look like you know this one!
Stevie Rader: I sure
Tim: I’ll take your word for it. Final answer buddy???
Stevie Rader: yes
<lock-in C… drumroll… camera close-up of Stevie’s face>
Tim: Oh no Stevie!
Stevie Rader: what?
Tim: I hope you can afford all those extra taxes on the THIRTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS you just won! <deafening applause, cheers>
Stevie Rader: yay!

Unfortunately she took a chance at the $64,000 and lost, but it was quite a great run by both our new players! I’d like to congratulate both of them on their winnings today, and hopefully they’ll be able to attend many more games of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands because they’re both great contestants and a lot of fun!

Today’s winners:

Stevie Rader: $32,000
HasiraKali: $32,000
<applause>
