Who Wants To be King Of The Pridelands

Season 1

Week 4

Good evening everyone, and it’s time once again for the weekly-wrap up of Who Wants To Be King of the Pride Lands! For those that couldn’t make it, I must say you missed quite an exciting show. To start it off, we had a newcomer, Monai, win big on his very first trip to the hot seat, which he earned on his very first attempt at a “Fastest Finger” question!

Tim: If everyone’s ready, here is the first fastest finger question of the day, good luck to all of you!

Fastest Finger

Put the following events from the “Hakuna Matata” scene in TLK in chronological sequence, starting with the earliest:

A: Timon files down Simba’s claw
B: Simba tastes his first grub
C: Pumbaa jumps into the lagoon
D: Pumbaa belches

Audra: DADB
Lucy: ABDC
Audra: oops
Daniel: DABC
Monai: ADBC

The correct order was indeed A, D, B, C and Monai became our first player of the day! He also earns the distinction of being the youngest contestant ever on WWTBKOTPL, at the ripe old age of twelve, but once again he proved that age doesn’t matter by swiftly climbing up the money ladder. Soon he was staring down the $32,000 with 2 of his lifelines still intact, his 50:50 and “Phone-A-Friend”.

$32,000
In the “Madness of King Scar” scene of TLKOB, what does Nala physically do to Scar?
A: Throws him across the stage
B: Scratches him with her claws
C: Pins him to the ground
D: Wraps her tail around his neck

monaithemaniac: i'm gonna have to phone a friend, mainly cuz i've never had the money to see it XD
Tim: No problem, who would you like to ask for assistance?
monaithemaniac: i'm gonna go for fu, cuz i know she's seen it
Tim: Okay Monai, we’ll get ‘Fuey on the line here, and you’ll have 30 seconds to discuss the answer. Monai and Audra, your time starts… now! <cue tick-tock sound fx>

Audra: It's B
monaithemaniac: okay thanks
Audra: np
Tim: Well that was fast! Are you going to go with what she said?
monaithemaniac: yep, b, final answer.
Tim: For $32,000 he says it’s B… <drumroll> You’d better give ‘Fu a cut of your money because you’re BOTH RIGHT for $32,000!!! <applause>
twilightlks: Super Fu!

Unfortunately, Monai busted out on the next question about what object was being sold on the QVC shopping network in TLK 1 ½, which was a leather purse. But all in all, a fantastic run by Monai who left the studio with $32,000! Nice going!

But we still had an eager bunch ready to play, so we moved right along to the next FF question:

Fastest Finger

Put the following Zazu lines from TLK in the order they appear in the film, starting with the earliest:

A: “He’d make a very handsome throw rug”
B: “I’d be so tough and gamey”
C: “Checking in with the Morning Report”
D: “Oh, look sire, the herd is on the move”

dinosaurgirl85: ACDB <6.7 seconds>
lucyparker1986: ACDB <6.8 seconds>
lucyparker1986: grr, lol
ddongsbury: BCAD
twilightlks: ACDB 'ness
dinosaurgirl85: lol sorry XD
ddongsbury: sh*t
lucyparker1986: haha, congrats Fu

In one of the closest Fastest Finger showdowns we’ve seen here on the show, Audra snuck by Lucy by only one tenth of a second! It was as if the answers came up simultaneously, bad break for Lucy there.

So by now Audra could dub herself “The Queen of the Hot Seat” as this was her record-breaking FOURTH appearance on the show in FIVE weeks! As usual, she breezed through her questions, and was looking at the $32,000 with all of her lifelines in her possession. Let’s cut to the action and see how it turned out!

Tim: Wow, Audra, great decision there to go with your gut and not use the 50:50 there, you’re now going for $32,000 with all of your lifelines, and remember if you get this right you’re guaranteed to leave with at least $32,000. Good luck!
$32,000
In TLK 1 ½, Which of the following words do Timon and Pumbaa not use to describe Pride Rock in the opening sequence of the film?

A: Majestic
B: Powerful
C: Grand
D: Bizarrely-Named

‘Fu: This one’s tough, can I poll the herd?
Tim: Sure. Herd, Audra needs your help on this one, please vote now!

A: 0% B: 20% C: 60% D: 20%

‘Fu: Hmm... I was thinking it was D too
‘Fu: So I'll go with D
Tim: But C won the vote…
‘Fu: Oh I mean
‘Fu: C
Tim: For $32,000, is that your final answer???
‘Fu: Yes
<drumroll, close-up of Audra>
Tim: She’s trusting our audience… and… YOU GOT IT! <wild applause, cheers>
Daniel: YAY!
Lucy: yay!
Monai: yay!
Audra: Thanks guys!

Oh the beauty of the “Poll the Herd” lifeline! That’s how it’s supposed to work, and it sure worked wonders for Audra in securing her $32,000. Oh, but she was FAR from finished! Up to $125,000 we go, and she STILL has two lifelines, her 50/50 and Phone A Friend.

$125,000
Matthew Broderick, the voice of Adult Simba, and Nathan Lane, who played Timon, once co-starred in what popular new Broadway Musical?

A: Monty Python’s Spamalot
B: Avenue Q
C: Movin’ Out
D: The Producers

Fu: Oh wow =/
Fu: Uh
Tim: You do have your two lifelines, Audra.
Fu: Well I wouldn't know who to ask XD
Fu: Um
Fu: I'll phone someone I guess.
Tim: No problem, who would you like to phone?
Fu: Hmm, Stu
Tim: Sure, Stu you there?
Stu: hi there
Tim: Okay buddy, Audra desperately needs your assistance, she’s going for $125,000!
Stu: *faints*
Tim: Uh oh… can we have a medic over here? I think Stu’s just…
Stu: I’m ok…. Just nervous!
Tim: Oh good, you’re alive! Audra and Stu, your time starts right now!

Fu: Do you have any idea? XD
Stu: i'm sure its D
Fu: Really?
Stu: i hear about it before
Fu: How sure?
Stu: 90%
Fu: Ok!
Fu: Thanks Stu ^_^
Stu: 95% <buzz>
Tim: Your time is up! Audra, 20 more seconds to decide.
Fu: I'll go with D then
Tim: I need to confirm, for $125,000, is D your final answer?
Fu: Yes
<locks D into computer>
Tim: Stu did seem pretty confident… <long drumroll> boy did you pick the right person! He was right! <thunderous applause> $125,000!!!

But another heartbreak befell Audra on the $250,000 question, as she incorrectly stated that the Lion King film brought in $30.9 million in its opening weekend, as the correct answer was $40.9 million. Particularly distressing was the fact that she still had her 50:50 lifeline on the table, but decided it was worth the risk to save it for the last couple questions, but unfortunately it didn’t work out. But she still left with another $32,000 and is now in second place all time for the moment! Congrats, ‘Fu!

That left us time for the last Fastest Finger question of the day, and here it was:

Fastest Finger

Put the following voice actors from TLK in the order their characters appear in the film, starting with the earliest:

A: Jeremy Irons
B: James Earl Jones
C: Madge Sinclair
D: Whoopi Goldberg

Lucy: BACD
Daniel: BACD
Stu: BACD

Tim: I hate to break the news to ya, but NONE of you are right! The correct order is BCAD. Madge Sinclair as Sarabi does not speak, but she does appear right after Muf…
Someone: oh, f*ck you
Tim: Excuse me! Did someone just get banned from the game? Why I oughta… <runs into audience and decks someone who will remain nameless>

Anyway, Stu was able to put his fingers on the replacement question, which regarded the order of the books in the boxed set of TLK: Six New Adventures. Eager to build on the $1,000 he earned in his first trip to the hot seat, Stu was ready for action!

Tim: Stu, you’re doing as well as anyone has up to this point. You’ve won $16,000 and are going for $32,000, with ALL of your lifelines. If you get his question right, you’re guaranteed $32K, but you do lose $15,000 if you get it wrong!
Stu: understood
Tim: Okay, here it is for $32,000

$32,000
From the album “Rhythm of the Pride Lands,” the song Lea Halalela was adapted and rearranged into what feature song in TLKOB?

A: Shadowland
B: Endless Night
C: One by One
D: Grasslands Chant

Stu: 50/50 not sure
Tim: Computer, please take away two of the wrong answers, leaving Stu one wrong answer and the correct one!

A: Shadowland
D: Grasslands Chant

Stu: A
Tim: Final answer?
Stu: yep
Tim: For 32 times what he had coming into today if he’s right… Lea Halalela was made into… SHADOWLAND! Well done, Stu! <cheers and wild applause>

Like Audra before her, Stu was just getting warmed up! After a fortunate guess at the $64,000 question about Lebo Morake’s home country (South Africa) and absolutely pwning my $125,000 stumper about the very first word that Nala says in TLK II: Simba’s Pride (“Mind,” as in “Mind your father, Kiara”), Stu all of a sudden was looking at a HUGE payday!

$250,000
Who is the only current cast member of TLKOB in New York who was also part of the original cast?

A: Tsidii Le Loka as Rafiki
B: Tom Alan Robbins as Pumbaa
C: Gina Breedlove as Sarabi
D: Samuel L. Wright as Mufasa

Stu: no damn idea....ask the herd
Tim: Okay Stu’s going to use his last lifeline here, Audience, this is really important as you know, please vote NOW to the best of your ability!

A: 25% B: 75% C: 0% D: 0%

Tim: There are the results. Remember Stu, if you are wrong, you will LOSE $218,000, which already happened once today, of course you can walk with your $125,000 as well or take a guess.
Stu: gonna walk
Tim: Ok my friend, is that your final decision?
Stu: yep
Tim: Well first of all I want to congratulate Stu on winning $125,000! Here’s your check…
Daniel: well done stu
Lucy: yay Stu! you own!
twilightlks: danke ^^
Tim: And now let’s look at the correct answer: Should Stu have trusted the audience?
<flashes B>
Tim: Oh NO! It was B. Perhaps it was just too much to risk, either way let’s give a HUGE round of applause to Stu and all of our winners today! <applause>

Monai: Won $32,000
Audra: Won $32,000
Stu: Won $125,000

So what an incredible show we had today, with a couple players again making it into the big money with a legitimate chance to go all the way! The updated scoreboard is below. And yes I did promise to announce the prizes for the first player to reach $1,000,000 in career earnings, and I will do that tomorrow once I get the pictures uploaded to my computer. So stay tuned for that!

So that’s all the time we have today, from the Studios here in Cyberspace, this is Tim Watanabe saying so long from Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! See everyone next week! <applause>
