Who Wants To be King Of The Pridelands

Season 1

Week 5

Greetings, game show fans! Time once again for the weekly review of what the heck happened on the show, and today was quite an odd one, those in attendance know what I’m talking about! First off, we were without two of our most loyal contestants, Sharifu who had just moved up to Oregon and was having computer problems, and Daniel who was also having trouble getting online. But we all were thrilled to see Nathalie, a newcomer to the game, in attendance for this week’s episode.

The first Fastest-finger round saw a winner from last week, Monai, put his paws on the right answer in the fastest time:

Fastest Finger

Put the following lines from “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” in chronological order, starting with the earliest:

A: “This child is getting wildly out of wing”
B: “I’m gonna be the mane event”
C: “Let every creature go for broke and sing”
D: “So far, a rather uninspiring thing”

monai: BDAC
kingsimba: badc
lucyparker: DBAC

Monai was doing really well until the $2,000 question… let’s see what happened!

Tim: Monai buddy, going for 2 grand now with all of your lifelines:

$2,000
In TLK, which of the following adjectives does Zazu not use to describe the hyenas?

A: Stupid
B: Mangy
C: Slobbering
D: Filthy

monai: C
Tim: Slobbering. Pretty confident in that one?
monai: yep
Tim: Final answer?
monai: yep <drumroll>
Tim: Oh no, Monai! I’m sorry. The correct answer is D, “Filthy.”
nathalie: awww

For the record, the line was, “You can chase those slobbering, mangy, stupid poachers from dawn until dusk!” Tough break for Monai, but he does leave with $1,000 to add to his overall winnings.

The second fastest-finger round featured a shootout between two of our winningest players, Stu and Lucy! Let’s see how events transpired…

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

Fastest Finger

Put the following characters in the order they appear in TLK II: Simba’s Pride, starting with the earliest:

A: Zira
B: Pumbaa
C: Rafiki
D: Kovu


Nathalie: cbzd
lucyparker: CBDA
Stu: cbda
Nathalie: lol, I wrote a wrong letter

Tim: Let’s see the correct order: C, Rafiki, B, Pumbaa, D, Kovu and finally last is A, Zira! Let’s see who got it right in the fastest time… Lucy, you got it, just edged out Stu on that one, nice job!
lucyparker: HEHE, YAY
monai: yay! luceh!

Lucy was coasting all the way up to the $16,000 question, which she was facing with two of her lifelines left, her Phone-a-friend and Poll the herd.

$16,000
In TLK 1 ½ during the Can You Feel the Love Tonight scene, the theme song from what hit TV series plays in the background when Timon and Pumbaa plan their attack?

A: Peter Gunn
B: Mission: Impossible
C: Dragnet
D: M*A*S*H

lucyparker: Erm.......no idea, ask the pride
Tim: Okay audience, Lucy needs your help on this one, using your keyboards please PM me your vote now!
A: 50% B: 0% C: 25% D: 25%

Tim: There you are, 20 more seconds to decide, Lucy. Not a totally definitive response.
lucyparker: A then, I suppose
Tim: She’s trusting our audience, final answer?
lucyparker: yeah
Tim: She says it’s A, “Peter Gunn…” Audience is RIGHT and you’re RIGHT for $16,000 <applause>
lucyparker: hehe, yay!
Nathalie: *thank the audiance Lucy *

Tim: Allright Lucy, here you go on for $32,000 now, one lifeline left and that is your “Phone-A-Friend.” Of course if you get this right you are guaranteed $32,000!

$32,000
In TLK 1 ½, according to one of the meerkats, Timon destroyed how many tunnels in one week?

A: 2
B: 4
C: 6
D: 8

lucyparker6: Im not sure anyone would know it
lucyparker: Oh, I will errr....phone er...... Stu
Stu: i think its C....maybe D...but 70% sure its C
lucyparker: oh, ok, cheers Stu
lucyparker: i trust ya
Stu: srry if its wrong <buzz>
Tim: Okay time’s up. Lucy?
Lucy: C. Never mind if it's wrong
Tim: Final?
lucyparker1986: yep
Lucy: She’s going along with Stu and said C, 6 tunnels… oh no! That wasn’t right.
Stu: ah nutz
Tim: The correct answer was actually B: 4.

So two now have left with only a grand to show for their fine efforts. Who would be next to try and break the hex???

No one got the first or second fastest-finger questions right, so I had to come up with a THIRD alternate fastest finger question for our remaining players, and if no one got this one right, I threatened to call the game!

Tim: Okay guys, this is it! Someone PLEASE get this one right!

Put the following Lea members in alphabetical order:

A: Monai
B: Nathalie
C: Sharifu
D: Lion King Stu

Nathalie: adcb
Stu: f,a,b,c
Nathalie: hahaha, i got it wrong
Stu: oh sh*t i put F
Tim: f???

Well, generally I wouldn’t allow it, but given the extenuating circumstances I gave Stu the victory on that one.

Stu soon found himself looking at the $16,000 question, with one lifeline left, the “Poll the Herd”

$16,000
In TLK II: Simba’s Pride, what is the first word that adult Kiara says in the film?

A: You
B: Promise
C: Daddy
D: Father

Stu: A
Stu: D
Stu: D
Nathalie: make up your mind Stu
Tim: hmm, a bit of indecision there. You do know you have one lifeline left, Stu?
Stu: yeah, I think it’s right
Tim: Final answer?
Stu: yeah i guess xD
<locks in “D”>
Tim: Stu says it’s D… oh no Stu! You’re wrong, I’m very sorry <audience awws>
Let’s take a look at the right answer…

C: Daddy

Stu: damn Kiara

So that was that! Some blame it on Fu not being there, and yet others blame it on all the Americans barbequeing and getting drunk as they celebrate an extra day off work. Regardless, all three of our contestants walked out with a mere $1,000 today.

I’ll update the standings, which haven’t changed very much, but noteworthy is that now Lucy has tied Sharifu for the most Hot-Seat appearances with four. See everyone next week, Monday the 12th, for more Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands!
