Who Wants To be King Of The Pridelands

Season

Week 8

Welcome back! We had a rather small group today as expected, this being the first day of the new Thursday schedule. Let’s see how events transpired…

The first fastest finger was won by none other than our own Finnish friend, STM!


Put the following Zira lines from TLK II: Simba’s Pride in the order they are said in the film, starting with the earliest:

A: “This is for you, Scar”
B: “These lands belonged to Scar”
C: “Good night, my little prince”
D: “You’ve killed your own brother”

lucyparker1986: BDCA
simbathemighty: BCDA
moorhunhe: bcda
dinosaurgirl85: BCDA

Lucy got “C and D” muddled, so STM won with the first correct answer! Too bad he had trouble early on though… let’s take a peek at what happened.

STM, going for $500 now, 14 away from One Million!

$500
Which of the following songs from TLKOB is performed earliest in the production?

A: They Live in You
B: The Morning Report
C: The Lion Sleeps Tonight
D: The Stampede

STM: A
Tim: A, are you confident?
STM: I am pretty sure about this...
STM: awww I gonna die
Tim: Final Answer?
STM: yeah…
Tim: Uh oh, I think the groans from the audience tell the story… I’m sorry STM, you’re incorrect.
STM: What the?
Sharifu: *hugs STM*
STM: well I have got only 5 hours rest in last night and have had exam and helping my sister with moving so my brains doesn't work…


And it just so happened that nobody got either of the next TWO fastest finger questions right, so we moved right along to the third replacement FF question (I came prepared today!)
Tim: Ok players, I have CONFIDENCE that one of you is going to get this right! Good luck to everybody!

Put the following Zazu lines from TLK in order, starting from the END of the movie:

A: “The herd is on the move”
B: “One day you two are going to be married”
C: “I’d be so tough and gamey”
D: “Impeccable timing, your majesty”

STM: ZXYG
Lucy: CABD
Nathalie: cadb
Sharifu: CABD

Well everyone put in the right answer, except for STM who was ineligible to participate anyways <knocks STM with Rafiki’s stick> but in the fastest time it was Lucy, making her record-breaking 6th appearance on the show!

Lucy was doing very well, storming through the early part of the game, including this challenging $4,000 question:

$4,000
Before working on The Lion King, Tim Rice teamed with Alan Menken to write what Academy-Award winning song?

A: “Beauty and the Beast”
B: “Under the Sea”
C: “A Whole New World”
D: “Kiss the Girl”

Tim: Hmm, those are all great Disney songs…
Lucy: Yes, but I know this one!
Lucy: A Whole New World
Tim: You sound like you know what you’re talking about!
Lucy: yep, Making of Aladdin, hehe
Tim: Ahh yes, those DVD extras can really help you out. Final answer?
Lucy: yes <drumroll… pause>
Tim: She got it for $4,000! Nice work!!!<applause>

Unfortunately she took a guess on the next question about how Timon told Simba he’d be up again in *two* hours after he got a drink of water in TLK 1 ½, Lucy guessed one hour. Too bad, she had all of her lifelines too and was poised to get really far. Oh well, maybe next time for Lucy, she’s made it into the hot seat more often than anyone so I’m pretty sure she’ll quickly put it behind her and be back next time.

The third Fastest Finger round featured a little extensive Disney trivia, a surprise that was not totally TLK-related to test our player’s skills, here it is:

Put the following Disney Princesses in the order their films were released, starting with the earliest:

A: Ariel
B: Nala
C: Belle
D: Jasmine*

*The tech team, of which the lead was promptly fired after the show, had accidentally inputted “Aladdin” into the D answer, but fortunately all of our players were smart enough to know the difference!

moorhunhe: acdb
ddongsbury: DCAB
dinosaurgirl85: ABCD

Tim: The correct order is: A: Ariel from The Little Mermaid (1989), C: Belle from BATB (1991), D: Jasmine from Aladdin (1992), and finally Nala from TLK (1994) so Nathalie, you’re the one! Congratulations! <applause>

Nathalie has certainly been the hottest player in Who Wants to be the King of the Pride Lands as of late, she’s made it onto the last THREE shows, which is an incredible feat!
She got some much needed audience help on this $8,000 question:

Tim: Nath, you’re doing just fine, going for $8,000 and your ask-the-audience lifeline left. Here you go:

$8,000
Which of the following “The Lion King: Six New Adventures” titles is the first book in the series?

A: “A Snake in the Grass”
B: “A Tale of Two Brothers”
C: “How True, Zazu?”
D: “Nala’s Dare”

Nathalie: I don't even know what those books look like, so I'll just use that last life line
Tim: No problem, Audience, Nath needs your immediate assistance on the question, please vote now!
Nathalie: the correct answer hey guys
Daniel: i'll try
Nathalie: lol

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

Audience: lol
Nathalie: yeah, lol, ok, let's go for B then
Tim: Pretty definitive response. Final answer?
Nathalie: yeah
Tim: Nice job Audience, you’re right and Nath is right for $8,000! <cheers, applause>

Nathalie did end up losing the $8,000 though when she guessed incorrectly that Timon flipped a *grub* into Pumbaa’s mouth after the added “Waterfall” scene of TLKOB instead of a *fish,* the right answer. So for the day, we had two winners:

Nathalie: $1,000
Lucy: $1,000

Today was a rough one on the players, but it was still fun and we had a great time. Remember to join us in two weeks on October 20th, Thursday, for another exciting episode of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! From the Net Studios in Cyberspace, this is Tim saying so long everybody, good night! <applause>
