Who Wants To be King Of The Pridelands

Season

Week 9

Welcome back to Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! Here’s a recap of today’s show and who won what and who won… absolutely nothing!

Tim: Here’s the first Fastest Finger Question:

Put the following Lion King characters in the order they are introduced in TLK II: Simba’s Pride, starting with the earliest:

A: Zira
B: Kovu
C: Timon
D: Nuka

Audra: CDAB
Daniel: cdba
Lucy Parker: CBAD

Correct Order: C, B, A, D

And it was Lucy chiming in last with the right answer! This was Lucy’s record-breaking 7th appearance on the program in 11 shows, an incredible feat, and she was playing really well, going for $4,000 with all of her lifelines left…

Tim: Lucy, playing really well as usual, let’s take a look at your $4,000 question!

$4,000
In TLKOB, which character says the line, “Oh look, the cat came back”?

A: Scar
B: Simba
C: Timon
D: Sarabi

Lucy Parker: Crapness, hehe
Lucy Parker: I dont know
Tim: Well you do have your lifelines to use…
Lucy Parker: I'll call Audra then. Tlkob expert she is
Lucy Parker: hehe
Tim: Okay Audra, Lucy needs your assistance, Ms. Lion King on Broadway expert! You have 30 seconds and your time starts now! <cue tick-tock sound fx>
Audra: lol
Audra: Well I think it's Scar... But I'm not really sure
Audra: But I don't see why the other characters would say it
Lucy Parker: i thought it might have been...at nala?
Audra: It seems like something Scar would say XD
Lucy Parker: hehe
Audra: I doubt that
<buzz-buzz>
Tim: Time is up, Lucy, 20 more seconds to mull it over.
Lucy Parker: Scar then...it does seem like something he would say
Tim: Final answer?
Lucy Parker: yep
Tim: She is going with Audra and saying “Scar…” You’re both right for $4,000! <applause>
Audra: Oh good!

Ahh, the beauty of the Phone-A-Friend lifeline. Lucy then went on to answer the next question and had a crack at the $16,000, but with no lifelines left.

$16,000
What world-famous choreographer won the 1998 “Best Choreography” Tony Award for their work on The Lion King on Broadway?

A: Alvin Ailey
B: Garth Fagan
C: Susan Stroman
D: Twyla Tharp

Lucy Parker: i'll take the money
Tim: Just not sure?
Lucy Parker:
Lucy Parker: not sure enough to guess, i think it might be B tho
Tim: Let’s congratulate Lucy for walking away with $8,000 in prize money! <wild applause> And now let’s talk a look at the right answer:
Audra: Yeah is it B?
B: Garth Fagan
Lucy Parker: gah!

Lucy should have went with her gut instinct there, but she still did well. Next was Audra, making her 6th appearance on the show, and her first in quite some time! She’s been with us ever since the beginning, like Lucy, and it was great to see her back in the Hot Seat.

She was playing with that typical “Fu” fire, answering the first EIGHT questions correctly without the use of a lifeline, and she was suddenly looking at the $16,000 question!

$16,000
How many different female characters speak in TLK? (Cub/Adult Nala count as 1)

A: 2
B: 3
C: 4
D: 5

Audra: B
Audra: Hmm... How much would I lost if I got it wrong?
Tim: You would lose $7,000 and drop back down to $1,000.
Audra: Hmm
Tim: You know you still have all three of your lifelines at your disposal…
Audra: I know but I think I'm pretty sure
Audra: Nala, Sarafina and Sarabi
Audra: Heh
Audra: I'll guess three, I can't think of anymore
Tim: Okay Audra, are you sure you want to save your lifelines?
Audra: Well I don't know, I'd hate to use it on that question
Tim: No problem.
Audra: Uh, yeah I'll guess B
Audra: Final Answer
<lock in answer B: 3>
Tim: Oh no Audra, you’re incorrect. I’m very sorry.
Lucy Parker: shenzi too
Audra: Oh!
Tim: Yes, you did forget about the hyena, Shenzi, which makes 4.

So an unfortunate ending for our friend, who was on quite a roll, but tacked on another $1,000 to her overall winnings.

Daniel somehow won the next Fastest Finger, in the midst of some FIERCE competition (those that were there know what I mean!) But he made a quick exit…

$500
In TLK, what color eyes do the hyenas have?

A: Purple
B: Green
C: Red
D: Yellow

Daniel: b
Daniel: you're making this easy, and for that i thank you
Tim: Um… sure… Dan! So is that your final answer?
Daniel: B
Tim: No, Dan… sorry. that’s not right.
Lucy Parker: that's a huge fool

The correct answer is D: Yellow
Bad break for Dan, although he insists they show up as “green” on his computer! So today winners are as follows:

Lucy: $8,000
Sharifu: $1,000
Dan: Didn’t win sh*t! <applause>

And I did mention that I have an announcement for the next game: As host and executive producer of the game, I have decided to eliminate the first four questions from the money sequence! All the dollar amounts will remain the same, however. So the first question will be worth $1,000, and the contestant will still be guaranteed that if they answer correctly, then $2,000, $4,000 on up. This will hopefully lead to more big winners! It’s been a while since anyone’s gotten to the $32,000 level, anyways, and this way we might be able to get more games in.

Also the attendance for the game has been quite sore the past couple weeks, I know a lot of the regulars were not there today because of prior commitments, but is there another day that would work better for everyone other than Thursday? I am open for Tuesday, Friday and Saturday at the same time in addition to Thursday. I plan on making a poll so watch out for that.

The next game will be two Thursdays from today, November 3rd, at the same time. Hopefully we’ll have plenty more people around next time.

This is your host Tim Watanabe saying so long from Who Wants to Be King of the Pride Lands. From the ‘Net Studios in cyberspace, goodnight! <cheers and applause>
