Season 2 Week 13
Aaaand we’re back once again for the bi-weekly game review where we revisit all the exciting stuff that happened on today’s episode, and let me tell you right from the start it was a thriller! If everyone remembers correctly, we had a rollover contestant from the last show, Stevie (Zazulover01) who had an incredible run at our game! Heading into today she had reached the $125,000 level and still had two lifelines, the phone-a-friend and ever-important Double Dip which has created some intense situations in the past… so the path was clear for her, two lifelines, three questions remaining. Would she be our next big winner of hundreds of thousands of virtual dollars? <cue tape> <crowd cheering> Stevie, welcome back to the game. Bet the suspense has been killing you, are you ready to go for a QUARTER-MILLION dollars? Zazu and Hyena fan: Yes. Allright, you got the audience on your side, let’s play! $250,000 A: Pumbaa Zazu and Hyena fan: d Wow… are you sure? Zazu and Hyena fan: Yes. A picture of confidence! For $250,000, final answer??? Zazu and Hyena fan: Yes. <Lock in D: Zazu, long drumroll> <D: Zazu> YOU GOT IT! TWO HUNDRED-FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! <roaring
applause, cheers> Stevie wastes little time, she goes bang-bang right through these upper-level questions and now, Stevie, this is where it gets really fun! Two questions away, two lifelines left, remember though that the $1,000,000 question now has five answers instead of four, so keep that in the back of your mind with regard to your double dip. Okay, we’re all pulling for you, here it is for a half-million! $500,000 A: The <long pause> Okay, who would you like to phone? Zazu and Hyena fan: Hope_pride. Choosing to ask the man who has had the most success in the game, not a bad call I think! Tal, are you there??? hope_pride: yes You’ll have 30 seconds to chat with Stevie on this very important $500,000 question, and your time starts now! <cue tick-tock sfx> hope_pride: he says nononnnoo just between u and ur
daddy <buzz-buzz> Well, not a totally definitive response there, but he says the answer is “no,” which is answer C. Also, if you miss this question you will lose $218,000, and we wouldn’t want that. What do you think Stevie? Zazu and Hyena fan: Walk. Yeah, I don’t blame you one bit! Final decision? Audra: That sucks for the fastest finger... Zazu and Hyena fan: Yes. Great. First of all, let’s give a HUGE round of applause to Stevie for winning $250,000 today! This Land Neale: Claps ^^ And for the record, let’s take a look at the right answer… anyone out there have a guess? simbathemighty: I was thinking The <D: You> twilightlks: I WIN! Here are the numbers of times that Scar says each of those words too: The (37), To (21), No (26), You (51) twilightlks: Tim wheres my 500k!!!! <hands Stu a bag with 500,000 doll hairs> <cut> What an awesome job by Stevie, she’s really been playing well the last few times out and with that impressive win she vaulted into 2nd place with $347,000! <wild applause> But we a number of players waiting in the wings for their chance so we went right ahead and did the first FFQ of the day: Fastest Finger Put the following actors that have played adult Simba in The Lion King on Broadway in alphabetical order according to their LAST name: A: Roger Wright hope_pride: bdca Time’s up, let’s see who got it right, hopefully you all remember your alphabet order… <B: Jason Raize> Ahh Hope and Pride once again, not only got it right
but also beat everybody out, you’re next! Our friend Tal has won well over $600,000 on the show so far this season and can actually win with a $500,000 performance today, but I’m sure we wants that million! Ready to play today Hope & Pride? hope_pride: lets go Great, let’s see if we can make it a happy Hanukkah for you. Let’s play! hope_pride: oh yeah <cut> Hope & Pride barreled through the early part of the game just as he did last time, but had some trouble on the big $32,000 question: $32,000 A: Matthew Broderick hope_pride: oh boy Well you are yet to touch a lifeline, so I think it’s time to pull them out of your bag and put ‘em to good use! hope_pride: i never even heard of this drama It may have aired only in the United States unfortunately, but we do have few players here tonight from the U.S. so maybe they’ll be able to help you out! hope_pride: poll teh herd A: 28% B: 14% C: 14% D: 42% Pretty widespread, D: Moira Kelly is in the lead with 42% and the rest our close behind. What do you think, Hope & Pride? hope_pride: D final i dont care, i dont know anything about that <Lock-in D: Moira Kelly> Yikes he has no clue and he’s putting everything in the hands of the audience… that’s some trust! <drumroll… close up of Hope & Pride> <D: Moira Kelly> Audience saves the day once again, $32,000!!! <wild applause, cheers> hope_pride: thx! u made the lion here happy <cut> Unfortunately, on the $64,000 question Hope & Pride was just about to use the Audra Cheat (50:50 + Double Dip) and at the very last moment decided to change his mind and went for the wrong answer, but he still left with a cool $32,000 to add to his overall winnings. Well done, Tal! <applause> Here’s the next fastest finger, and it’s our first pick four! Remember, pick the four correct answers in any order. Good luck! Out of the following seven characters, pick the four that are not lions: A: Scar hope_pride: bdfg <B: Timon> Audra: wee Hope & Pride’s answer obviously does not count because he just played, which means Audra you made it! Great to have you back in the hot seat. <applause> Audra: hehe And this is your record 9th appearance in 12 weeks here on Season 2 of WWTBKOTPL, so congratulations on that and good luck today! <cut> Audra flew through to the $32,000 question, where she had a chance to tie her own record not once, but twice! <cue game footage> Audra, if you should get through this next question without using an lifeline you’ll have accomplished the feat three times, and you’re still the only person ever to have gotten to the $32,000 milestone with all of your lifelines! Good luck. $32,000 A: Evan Saucedo Audra: Gah... I remember seeing him on the bonus features... Ah, yes it was on the bonus features… you remember what he looks like? Audra: But I can't remember his name oO Well since you’ve saved your lifelines let’s explore your options… Audra: herd Oh wise herd, please stop grazing or mating or whatever you’re doing temporarily so Audra can get this question, please vote now! A: 42% B: 14% C: 0% D: 28% Audra: Gah XD Oh no, kind of like last time. Evan Saucedo is out in front but once again it’s very close with D: Jesse McCartney close behind. Audra: Hmm Going to stick with the slight majority, final answer Audra? Audra: Yes <Lock-in A: Evan Saucedo> <drumroll… Audra’s sweating it out> She loses $15,000 if the audience was wrong… <A: Evan Saucedo> $32,000!!! Well done Audience, good job Audra! <applause and cheers> Audra: Thanks everyone <cut> Oh, but Audra was FAR from done yet. She continued to pick up steam, and even used her patented “Audra Cheat” on a tough $125,000 question about Nathan Lane’s first name of Joseph, and she was soon looking at the $250,000 question with one lifeline left, her phone-a-friend. Could Audra go all the way? $250,000 A: “It is time!” Audra: C Wow, Audra with a quick answer of C: “Do you understand?” pretty confident huh? Audra: But I remember what you said when you saw it... Amazing that you’d remember that detail, it was months ago when I posted about my trip. Shows that it pays to pay attention to some of the threads here on Lea, final answer my friend? Audra: C <lock-in C: “Do you understand?”> Will Audra be a quarter-million virtual dollars richer… She IS!!!! Congratulations!!! <thundering applause> Audra: Thanks to you Tim lol simbathemighty: 2 to go Only two away now, feeling okay Audra? Tense moment coming up for sure! Audra: *nervous* Gah Have a drink of water, take a deep breath and take a
look at this $500,000 question: $500,000 A: The Sultan of Agrabah Audra: Oh my gosh... Would anyone know this one? Tough, tough question… being that they’re all silhouettes. Audra: I'm trying of thinking who to ask... Interesting choice, I think this might be the first time that Stevie has been called as a phone-a-friend! Stevie, are you there? Zazu and Hyena fan: Yes. Oh good. You’re usually very quiet so I had to
make sure! Just like you were earlier today, Audra’s going for
the half-million, and she needs your help badly. 30 seconds, go! Audra: Do you have any idea? <buzz-buzz> Audra: Blah... You know I think I will walk... Yes, considering you have $218,000 on the line if you get this wrong, and now you’re of course out of lifelines. The end of the road is here it looks like, final decision? Audra: Yes Anyone have a guess? hope_pride: A <A: The Sultan of Agrabah> Unbelievable job once again Audra, in all your time on the show $250,000 is your single biggest payday! I’m so happy for you! <hugs Audra> And that puts your overall winnings up to $490,000, so so close to the halfway point! Great game and we’ll see you again next week. <roaring applause, standing ovation> Amazing, we’ve given away $532,000 thus far, who would be next to join the party? Here’s the next fastest finger: Out of the following seven TLK characters, pick the four that are female: A: Shenzi Ciara _: abcg Well time’s up, it looks like Ciara is in great shape here, let’s take a look if she’s right… <A: Shenzi> Audra: She is? Ciara, get on up here, you’re our next player! Ciara was making her first appearance in the Hot Seat, she hails from Sweden and we wished her lots of beginner’s luck for her first run at the game. Her luck seemed to run dry, however, on the $16,000 question when a badly timed phone-a-friend did her in: <cue Ciara’s game> You’re doing great Ciara, you’ve won $8,000 already, only 7 away from the big jackpot and you haven’t even used a lifeline yet, isn’t this fun? Ciara _: i was heading to bed, i forgot this game completely
Well we’re all glad you made it! Let’s play for $16,000. $16,000 A: 2 Ciara _: i'd say 3.. but not sure.. havent seen in a while >.< So you’re leaning towards three. Well now narrow it down and see if you answer remains, or you can call one person or poll the herd. Ciara _: maybe i'll phone someone then x.x Ok Adam, Ciara has called on you. You two will have
30 seconds to discuss lion licks, and time starts now! <tick-tock
SFX> hmm… interesting scenario here. You thought the answer was C: 3, and Adam is 70% sure that it’s only 2. Now the question is, how sure are you about your first instinct? Ciara _: I'll say A then .. Going to doubt yourself? Now take some time to think it over… Ciara _: I dont know xD <long pause> Ciara _: ok, well I will say A then.. Is A: 2 your FINAL ANSWER??? Ciara _: yesh..I'll kill you else TL xD Uh oh… the pressure’s on Adam! <lock-in A: 2> <pause… close up of Ciara and Adam in the background biting his nails> <A: 2> Oh no!!!!! I’m so sorry to say that’s wrong Ciara. This Land Neale: noo <D: 3> Audra: Oh it was three! <This Land sprints out of the studio> Oh man, not the way we wanted to end that game. As they always say, go with your gut, your first guess, and Ciara paid for it. But, she did very well for her first appearance and she’s on the board with $1,000! Well done and you’ll be back in the Hot Seat soon, Ciara, great to have you as our contestant today. <applause> <fog horn siren> That’s all the time we have today, what a fantastic show we had once again, and now I’d love to congratulate all of our winners today, we sure gave away a ton of virtual money: Stevie (Zazulover01), $250,000 <booming applause,
cheers> And remember that we WILL be having a show next Sunday, December 17th, before taking two weeks off for the holidays and resuming on January 8, 2007. Last but not least, I’d like to wish my sister Amy (who is actually in the hospital recovering from a severe kidney infection) a happy 18th birthday, and I hope you feel better and get out soon so we can celebrate! From the WWTBKOTPL Studios sponsored by Yahoo! Instant Messenger, this is your host Tim “lion_king_300” Watanabe saying so long and see everyone next week for more Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! Good night! <applause, theme music plays>
