The Lion King Goes On

Season 1

Week 2

Hello everyone, this is Tim reporting from the ‘Net Studio of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! We had another great show this afternoon. The day started out with a newcomer to the game, Daniel, becoming the first contestant in the hot seat! Let’s see how he did it…

Fastest Finger

Put the following lines from Zazu’s “Morning Report” song in the order they appear in the updated version of TLK, starting with the earliest:

A: “Giraffes remain above it all”
B: “We haven’t paid the hornbills”
C: “Chimps are going ape”
D: “Not everyone invited will be coming back from lunch”

<Dan> CABD

Showing he’s got game, Daniel quickly put his fingers on the right answer and proceeded to blaze through his set of questions, soon staring at the $125,000 question with one lifeline left, his 50:50… can you feel the pressure?

$125,000
Although the word “pumbaa” means “ignorant” or “absent-minded” in Swahili, what does the homonym “pumba” mean?

A. Frequent or incontrollable flatulence
B. Excretion from under the foreskin
C. The medicinal extract from a Bushu shrub
D. Extremely overweight, obese

<Dan> I have NO idea… let me use the 50/50
<Tim> Okay computer, help Dan out here and leave him one wrong answer and the correct one!

B. Excretion from under the foreskin
C. The medicinal extract from a Bushu shrub

<Dan> (thinks) Wow, I don’t know…
<Tim> You could always walk away with $64,000, you don’t have to guess here
<Dan> Yes, that’s what I’ll do. I’ll talk the money and run!
<Tim> Final Answer?
<Dan> Yes.

<Tim> Well just for fun now let’s look at the right answer… if you had to guess Dan, which would you pick?
<Dan> I’d pick B for no apparent reason…
<Tim> The correct answer was B! Oh well, let’s give Dan a nice round of applause for bowing out with $64,000!
<applause>

And than put Dan in the lead for most career earnings, after only his first show! Way to go Dan!

But there still a bunch of eager contestants waiting in the wings for a chance at a million bucks, so here went our next fastest finger question:

Fastest Finger

Put the following TLK characters in the order they appear in the film, starting with the earliest:

A: Scar
B: Zazu
C: Rafiki
D: Sarafina

STM was the first to nail the correct response of B, C, A, D and, also appearing in his very first show of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands, made it into the hot seat, congrats to him! Also a very bad break for Lucy occurred here in this particular fastest finger, she locked in her answer less than a second before STM did, but she mis-typed and put “BCAC” instead of BCAD, meaning STM was the winner!

Although he burned a lifeline early on the $1,000 question about what animal Zazu accidentally flies into during “I Just Can’t Wait to be King,” he recovered nicely and had a crack at the $8,000 question.

$8,000
Which of the following lines is not part of the lyrics to Elton John’s pop version of “I Just Can’t Wait to be King?”

A: “Let Every Creature Go For Broke and Sing”
B: “The Fauna And The Flora Gonna Swing”
C: “My Reign Will Be A Super-Awesome Thing”
D: “The Monarchy Is Waiting To Go Zing”

Unfortunately for STM, he didn’t know the answer, and chose to phone STL, who wasn’t too sure himself. Eventually they both decided on answer “D” which was incorrect. The “A” verse “Let Every Creature Go for Broke and Sing” was in the film version of the song, not Elton’s pop version.

But not a bad haul at all for STM, taking away $1,000 and getting on the board in the overall standings. That meant that there was enough time for one more contestant, so without further ado came the next fastest finger:

Fastest Finger

Put the following songs from TLK II: SP in the order they appear in the film, starting with the earliest:

A: Love Will Find a Way
B: We Are One
C: One of Us
D: My Lullaby

<STL> DBCA
<Audra> BDCA

The correct order is “We Are One” before “My Lullaby” and Audra got it! She then went on a tear, using none of her lifelines and making her way up to the $32,000 question… let’s see how she did on it!

<Tim> Audra, you’re playing as well as anyone has so far this game, you still all three of your lifelines and going for $32,000… good luck!
<Audra> Thanks! I’m ready.
<Tim> For $32,000… here it is.

$32,000
Which of the following animals does a hungry cub Simba not ask for during the “Hakuna Matata” scene in TLK?

A: Hippo
B: Antelope
C: Elephant
D: Zebra

<Audra> C
<Tim> You sound confident! Is that your FINAL answer?
<Audra> Yes!
<Tim> She says little Simba didn’t ask for any Elephant… <drumroll>
<Tim> And she’s RIGHT FOR $32,000!!! <roaring applause>

<Tim> And Audra, I need to congratulate you again because with that answer you’re the first contestant ever on this show to get through the first 10 questions without using a lifeline! That’s amazing, and now things are looking really good for you!
<Daniel> *claps*
<STL> *applauds* lol
<Audra> Thank you thank you ^_^
<Stu> nice job lil lady xD

<Tim> Onward now to the $64,000 question! Remember you don’t lose anything if you get this wrong Audra, but you do have your three lifelines.

$64,000
In 1997, TLKOB premiered at the Orpheum Theatre in what North American city?

A: Minneapolis
B: Chicago
C: Toronto
D: Los Angeles

<Audra> Can I ask someone?
<Tim> Sure, who would you like to call>
<Audra> STL
<Tim> Okay we’ll get STL on the line. Are you there Chris?
<STL> yup ^_^
<Tim> Audra needs your help here, she’s going for $64,000. Chris and Audra your time starts right now!
<STL> lol ok, it's D
<Audra> Hmm ok you seem pretty sure
<STL> yes
<STL> darnit now I'm doubting myself lol
<STL> merf >_<
<STL> lol

<Buzz>

All right, time’s up, I must say that was…. Interesting. Audra, 20 more seconds to decide.

<Audra> I guess I'll go with D
<Tim> You know you still have 2 lifelines left if you’re not sure… but I’ll ask you anyhow, Final answer?
<Audra> Yes
<Tim> She’s going along with Chris and says D… <drumroll>
<cue wrong answer music>
<Tim> Oh no! Sorry Audra, the answer was A, Minneapolis.
<Audra> Aww
<Tim> Darn you were on such a roll there! But on the bright side you’re leaving today with another $32,000, which puts you in an overall Tie with Daniel for top spot on the leaderboard with $64,000! Nice going!
<STL> f*ck!
<Tim> Excuse me sir, no foul language in the studio please!
<STL> I just f*cking said f*ck >_<
<Tim> Ehm… we’ll be right back after this quick commercial break!
<grabs Rafiki’s stick and hit’s STL over the head with it>

Yikes, we better get out of here while we still can! Tough break there for Audra though after steamrolling through her first 10 questions. Here’s how the overall Leaderboard looks through three shows. The number in parentheses after their winnings denotes the number of times they have been in the Hot Seat.

T-1st: Sharifu………. $64,000 (2)
T-1st: Daniel……….. $64,000 (1)
3rd: LucyLioness… $33,000 (2)
T-4th: lolopimp……. $32,000 (1)
T-4th: King_Simba… $32,000 (1)
T-6th STM………… $1,000 (1)
T-6th: LionKingStu… $1,000 (1)

Be sure to tune in next week at the same time, Monday August 22nd at 1pm Pacific, 4pm Eastern, 9pm Greenwich Meridian UK time for another exciting show of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! From the Internet Studios of Who Wants to Be King of the Pride Lands, this is your host Tim Watanabe reminding you to help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or neut…..

<stage manager> Tim, wrong show. You’re not Bob Barker.
<Tim> Oh, right. I don’t believe in animal castration anyways. Disrupts the delicate balance of the “Circle of Life.” Anyway, let’s try that again.
<Tim> This is Tim Watanabe reminding you that, in fifteen short questions, your knowledge of The Lion King may one day make you King of the Pride Lands! Good night! <applause>
