The Lion King Goes On

Season

Week 14

*Money and confetti falls from Studio ceiling*
<WILD cheering in background>

Welcome to the game review of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands!!! If you couldn’t guess what happened on today’s early show yet, we finally had a MILLION dollar winner! That’s right, and the deserved title of Queen of the Pride Lands went to Amanda Cress of San Antonio Texas, known as HasiraKali on Lea Halalela, who got all 15 questions correct!

Let’s re-live some of her more crucial, tense, exciting moments on her journey to $1,000,000!

Tim: Welcome to the show, contestants! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Here’s the first fastest finger question. Good Luck to everyone:

Fastest Finger

Put the following events from TLK in the order they occur, starting with the earliest:

A: Simba steps into Mufasa’s pawprint
B: Simba gets a “bath”
C: Simba runs away from the Pride Lands
D: Simba practices “pouncing”

Correct Order: C, B, A, D

Both Amanda and Utora, who was making her first appearance in the audience, got the order right but Amanda was first putting her in the Hot Seat!

She first appeared on the show two weeks ago and did very well, winning $32,000, and was looking to build up her winnings! Looking as bright and confident as ever, she breezed through her early questions and was looking once again at the $32,000 question without using any lifelines:

$32,000
In TLK, how many times is cub Simba displayed under a physical “spotlight?”

A: 0
B: 1
C: 2
D: 3

<long pause>
Tim: Amanda? Any Idea?
Amanda Cress: C
Tim: You say 2. Remember you have all three lifelines if you’re not sure…
Amanda Cress: Let’s use the 50:50
Tim: Sure! Computer, please take away two of the wrong answers leaving Amanda one wrong answer and the correct one!

C: 2
D: 3

Tim: There you go, hope it helped!
Amanda Cress: Stick with C
Tim: Make that your final?
Amanda Cress: final answer
<lock-in C, drumroll>
Tim: Going with her first instinct…. and you… did the right thing! $32,000! <wild applause>
Amanda Cress: all right!

From then on she blazed a trail… $64,000… She made short work of the $125,000 question about actor Vince Harder and his role of Simba in Sydney’s TLKOB, and she was soon looking at the $250,000 question, only 3 away from the million.

Tim: Amanda, you’re playing SO well right now, you’ve already won $125,000. You’re about to take a look at the $250,000 question with TWO lifelines still, your Poll-the-Herd and the very important Double Dip should you desire to use it. Ready?
Amanda Cress: ready
Tim: For $250,000:

$250,000
In 1994, an Applause™ TLK plush depicting what character was recalled because the tail was considered a choking hazard?

A: Simba
B: Mufasa
C: Scar
D: Nala

Daniel: oh bugger
Daniel: who in the right state of mind will know that?
thegrippersrock: rofl
Amanda Cress: can I use double dip please
Tim: Yes you may. You do realize that you must answer the question though should you use the Double Dip, that you can’t walk away after choosing one answer.
Amanda Cress: yes
Tim: Consider it done, you now have TWO cracks at the answer for this question only.

Amanda Cress: ok
Tim: Now you can poll the herd if you wish…
Amanda Cress: nah I'm just going to go for it
Tim: Okay she’s gonna go for it on her own!
Amanda Cress: C
Tim: C, Scar. Final answer?
Amanda Cress: for the first guess yes
<Lock-in C>
Tim: She’s going with C. If this isn’t right, it’s okay because she will get another chance…..<pause for suspense>
Tim: Oh my… She’s RIGHT!!!! You’ve just won $250,000!!! <deafening applause>
Amanda Cress: oh yay! XD
mufasaofafrica: congrats again

Oh but folks, she was far from done. Onto the HALF-MILLION dollar question!

$500,000
The Disney Store that was once next to the New Amsterdam Theatre in Times Square was recently relocated to 55th street and what New York avenue?

A: Lexington Avenue
B: Park Avenue
C: 5th Avenue
D: 6th Avenue

Amanda Cress: let's poll the herd XD
Tim: Okay herd, this is your toughest assignment thus far. Please PM me your vote now!

A: 0% B: 40% C: 60% D: 0%

Tim: There you go Amanda. Looks like a very slight majority say 5th Avenue, the rest go for Park Avenue, but it’s close.

Amanda Cress: C
Amanda Cress: I'm pretty sure it's C
Tim: Amanda, if you are incorrect you drop back down to $32,000, losing $218,000, just to let you know!
Amanda Cress: sure
Tim: Would you like to make C, 5th Avenue, your final answer?
Amanda Cress: yes
<Lock-in C… close-up of Amanda>
<long pause>
Tim: She’s trusting the audience for a half-million dollars… you know there are lots of nice stores on Park Avenue…
Amanda Cress: oh no…
Tim: But the Disney Store isn’t one of them! 5th AVENUE IS RIGHT FOR $500,000!!!
<audience is in a frenzy>
Amanda Cress: YAY! XD
Daniel: oh my god
mufasaofafrica: wo0ts
thegrippersrock: XD
Amanda Cress: it had juuuuuust relocated when we were there lol
Nathalie: omg, Tim is totally jumping to his cealing

We took a short commercial break to build the suspense and let me get a chance to retrieve the $1,000,000 question which was locked away in a safe, and finally almost 5 months after the show premiered we finally had a chance to look at it.

<audience still going nuts>
Tim: Amanda, we’re looking at history in the making here on Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands. So much is at stake here. If you answer the next question correctly, you will win the Grand Prize package in addition to the prize of your choice for getting all 15 questions right on one show, and you’ll forever be enshrined as Queen of the Pride Lands. That’s the good news. If you’re wrong, I hate to say it, but you’ll drop all the way back down to $32,000, and you’re also out of lifelines. But let’s have a look anyways: I’ve never said this before, but Amanda Cress, here is your One-Million Dollar Question.

Amanda Cress: I'm freaking shaking lol
Tim: Shake through one more question my friend!

$1,000,000
In the “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” scene from TLK, how many birds are perched on the “mane” of leaves before Simba scares them away?

A: 4
B: 5
C: 6
D: 8

Amanda Cress: oh no
Amanda Cress: come on brain
Amanda Cress: it's not that many
Amanda Cress: yeah
Amanda Cress: what about time?
Amanda Cress: I didn't use that one
Tim: Time extension granted. You have thirty more seconds starting now!
Amanda Cress: B
Daniel: holy god, she's going for it
mufasaofafrica: Have faith.

Tim: Amanda, before I lock that in I need to tell you that LOSE $468,000 if you are wrong. Right now if you walk away you will have a commanding lead over all the other contestants. Would you like to make B, 5 your FINAL ANSWER?????
Amanda Cress: geez
Amanda Cress: I want to change it to C
Tim: Oh my gosh, she’s having a change of heart.
Amanda Cress: yes, I believe it’s an even number of birds and 8 is too many
Tim: This is a lot of money to risk on a guess, Amanda. Are you sure you want to do this?
Amanda Cress: I want to
Tim: Going with C, 6.
Amanda Cress: yes
Amanda Cress: C 6
Tim: Give me the magic words…
Amanda Cress: final answer
<Lock-in C:6> <Very long pause due to technical error>
Amanda Cress: lol

Tim: For a place in Pride Land History… she thinks there were six birds around Simba’s mane of leaves.
<Correct Answer flashes>
C: 6

Amanda, you’ve just won a MILLION DOLLARS!
<Audience rushes onstage to celebrate, money and confetti falls from ceiling>

Daniel: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Amanda Cress: XD
thegrippersrock: lolk
mufasaofafrica: Pozdravlyayu! Now that is something
Amanda Cress: Yay!
Amanda Cress: I'm shaking all over the place lol
Nathalie: I'm up for season 2 Tim, haha
tim646man: *money falling uncontrollably from the ceiling*
Amanda Cress: lol
mufasaofafrica: haha
Amanda Cress: I can't believe this lol
Amanda Cress: I really don't know
