Who Wants To be King Of The Pridelands

Season 2

Week 14

Hey everybody! Welcome to the week 13 review of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands, and the general consensus was that this was one of the most exciting, nerve-wracking games EVER played, and with that I would have to agree.

We nearly crowned a champion yet again today, but I’ll let you watch the proceedings and decide for yourself, what would you do if you were in the Hot Seat? Roll that tape!

<cut to contestant intros>

We’re here once again with six people that have joined us from all over the world, and they are: <applause throughout>

Hope & Pride, Israel
Audra Fahmie, San Jose, CA
Simba the Mighty, San Jose, CA
Adam Neale, Coventry, England
Stevie Rader, Los Angeles, CA
Ciara, Sweden

<cut>

Audra won the first fastest finger question by placing TLKoB props in the correct order and off we went!

$32,000
In TLK 1 ½, what dance does Pumbaa do as Timon is trying to come up with the phrase “Hakuna Matata?”

A: Samba
B: Conga
C: Rumba
D: Lambada

<pause>
Audra: D

Sure about this? If you’re wrong you drop all the way back down to $1,000…

Audra: Um I guess I'll poll the herd

Ok herd, Audra’s chosen to play it safe. Please PM me your vote right now. What dance does Pumbaa do in TKL 1 ½?

A: 0% B: 0% C: 0% D: 100% <audience laughs>

Well we’ve seen this happen before when a contestant gives an answer before using the Phone-A-Friend everyone just seems to go along with it, but now the question is do they know for sure???

Audra: I should of just went with what I thought! XD

And your final answer is?

Audra: D

<lock-in D: Lambada>

<D: Lambada>
<applause and cheers>

Adam Neale: yay
Adam Neale: well done ^^
STM: dancing lambada
<cut>

After smartly using the 50:50 on the next question about how many male “hyena” breakout dancers there are in the “Be Prepared” scene of TLKOB, Audra was soon staring down the $125,000 question!

$125,000
Which of the following TLK: Six New Adventures books is listed fourth in the series?

A: Snake in the Grass
B: Vulture Shock
C: Nala’s Dare
D: Follow the Leader

This Land Neale: cmon tim this is mean
Audra: Gah
hope_pride: lol
Ciara _: really mean

Audra: I have the set but I don't want to cheat... XD

Yes, thank you for being honest about that! So let’s explore your options, you can phone a friend or use the double dip here.

Audra: Um I don't know who would know this heh <long pause>

Audra: I call hope and pride

Ok, Tal are you there?

hope_pride: yeah

You guys will have 30 seconds to discuss this question, for $125,000 your time starts right now!

hope_pride: a snake in the grass
Audra: Any idea?
hope_pride: yes
Audra: You sure?
hope_pride: 100%
Audra: Oh ok wow
hope_pride: tale of two brothers, nalas dare vultlure shock, snake in the grass
hope_pride: thats the order
<buzz-buzz>

Wow even I’m impressed! Audra he seemed pretty sure of himself, what do you think?

Audra: I'll go with A then

Trusting Hope & Pride…

Audra: Yes

Final answer?

Audra: Yes

Lock in <A: Snake in the Grass>….. <drumroll>

<A: Snake in the Grass> <thunderous applause>

Audra: Yay!
hope_pride: u welcome
Audra: Thank you!
Ciara _: wiiie

Audra! Do you realize what can happen??? You have $490,000 in career earnings. If you reach the $500,000 mark you will be at $990,000 and virtually a lock to become the new Queen of the Pride Lands. First things first though, let’s look at the $250,000!

$250,000
Which of the following voice actors does not provide a singing voice for a character in The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride?

A: Gene Miller
B: Liz Callaway
C: Ryan O’Donahue
D: Cam Clarke

<very long pause>

The only lifeline you have is your Double Dip, Audra. If you can narrow it down to two answers you’re in good shape, but if you can’t…

Audra: I can narrow it to 3 =/

Oh my… so we’ll see what kind of a gambler you are! Remember if you use your Double Dip it’s an all-or-nothing situation and you lose $93,000 if you’re wrong! Tough decision. I’ll give you a little extra time do decide, 30 more seconds.


This Land Neale: aww
This Land Neale: thats tim's xmas pressie
This Land Neale: more time
This Land Neale: i want that ><

Audra: I don't know... <pause>

Audra: I'll do DD <audience cheers>

Final decision?

Audra: Yes

Double dip in action! What’s your first choice?

Audra: C

C: Ryan O’Donahue. Did that one stand out to you originally?

Audra: Yes

Final answer?

Audra: Yes

Lock in <C: Ryan O’Donahue> <drumroll… closeup of Audra>

<C: Ryan O’Donahue>

DONE! $250,000!!!! <cheers, wild applause>

Audra: Oh good! OMG

Audra! This is the most important question in this season of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands. Should you get this Half-Million dollar question correct, you will be only $10,000 away from the million which you should be able to get on your next show. If you decide to go for it and get the question wrong, you will lose an astounding $218,000 and drop all the way back to $32,000. Of course you can walk away with your $250,000 and take over 1st place on the leaderboard.

Audra: got it XD
Audra: I'm nervous

We all are… for you. You are perhaps the most deserving, you’re here week in and week out and have been supporting Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands since the beginning, and I would be thrilled to have you win. It all comes down to this. Audra, here is your $500,000 question. <audience falls to a hush, think music booms in background>

$500,000
The Lion King 1 ½ won what prestigious Annie Award in 2005?

A: “Best Animated Character Performance”
B: “Best Director in an Animated Feature Production”
C: “Best Home Entertainment Production”
D: “Best Music in an Animated Feature Production”

Audra: How much would I have if I lost?

Only $32,000. All your hard work so far this game will be reduced to almost nothing, and we would hate for that to happen.

<very long pause> Audra, unfortunately you’re running short on time and I’ll have to ask for either your decision or to use your time extension

Audra: Time

This Land Neale: the time is 10:33 here

Audra has just called for her time extension…

This Land Neale: oh ur talking to tim

That gives you a total of 45 seconds now Audra, take your time. This is a very important moment for you, think it through.

Audra: I think I know but I don't know if I want to risk it

What was your first instinct?

Audra: C

C, Best Home Entertainment Production. Pretty confident?

Audra: I'll go with C

WOW she’s going to go for it?!?!? Audience this could be it, if she does go it’s either $500,000 or $32,000… wow what a huge moment this is… Audra are you sure you want to do this??? It’s so much money…

Ciara _: >.<..
This Land Neale: woah Oo
hope_pride: gasp

All you have to do, Audra, is type in the words “final answer” and I’ll lock it in for you. You have to say it for yourself this time.

Audra: Hmm =/

<another long pause>

Audra: Well I just don't think it would be the others...

Audra: I'll walk I think... It's so risky
Audra: I'm nervous

I certainly feel your pain. I don’t know what I would do myself in your situation… I’ll let you think it over one last time. <pause, Audra closes her eyes deep in thought>

Audra: I'll walk

Final decision my friend?

Audra: YeahYes

hope_pride: scary
Ciara _: nooo >.<
This Land Neale: do heads and tails audra

What a game. First of all, let’s give Audra from San Jose a TREMENDOUS round of applause for her performance today! <roaring applause and standing ovation>

This Land Neale: oh yes ^^
This Land Neale: well done ^^
hope_pride: nice
Ciara _: wie

Now let’s take a look… I’m almost afraid to see it…

Audra: Was it C?

<C: “Best Home Entertainment Production”>

Audra: Ugh
Ciara _: i knew it!! >.<
Audra: I should of done it
Audra: Aww I just should of done it
Ciara _: nerv wrecking game this time
Audra: Now I'm mad at myself lol

Well that was the deciding moment, EVER SO CLOSE. All she had to do was type in “final answer” but I really don’t blame her from walking away at that point, it was just too much to risk. You could see Audra was weighing out the odds and she just wasn’t sure enough. But that brings her up to $740,000 and first place on the leaderboard.

Who could top that act? Let’s move on to the next Fastest Finger.

Fastest Finger

Put the following scenes from TLK in the order they occur, starting with the earliest:

A: Simba scratches Shenzi
B: Scar hits Zazu
C: Simba pushes Nala into the lagoon
D: Simba throws Scar off Pride Rock

This Land Neale: cbac
simbathemighty: dbca
This Land Neale: cbad
Zazu and Hyena fan: abcd
hope_pride: a b c d
Ciara _: cabd

Correct Order:
<A: Simba scratches Shenzi>
<B: Scar hits Zazu>
<C: Simba pushes Nala into the lagoon>
<D: Simba throws Scar off Pride Rock>

Technically Simba pulls Nala into the lagoon but I think everyone got the picture. A, B, C, D right down the line and Zazu and Hyena Fan, Stevie, got it! Congrats Stevie, you’re next up.

Stevie has also been playing extremely well as of late and has racked up $347,000 in career earning, good enough for 3rd place overall. How much would she add to it?

$4,000
In TLK, Nala tells Simba that who or what has “taken over the Pride Lands?”

A: Scar
B: Drought
C: The hyenas
D: Starvation

Zazu and Hyena fan: a

A, Scar. Pretty sure about that one?

Zazu and Hyena fan: Yeah.

Wanna make it your final answer?

Zazu and Hyena fan: Yes.

<lock-in A: Scar>

<A: Scar>

Oh no Stevie!

This Land Neale: ouch
Ciara _: c.. >.<
simbathemighty: hyenas
hope_pride: C
Zazu and Hyena fan: Oh yeah.
Ciara _: c.. >.<

That was a bit tricky. Let’s see the correct answer:

<C: Hyenas>

Darn. Not the way we wanted that to go at all! But at least you added a little to your total, you’re up to $348,000 now, and we all know you’ll be back. Better luck next time Stevie! <applause, cut>

That was a very tricky question, because Nala does actually mention Scar but she says the he “let the hyenas take over the Pride Lands” which made C the right answer there. Tough break!

Here was the next Fastest Finger:

Put the following songs in the order they appear in TLK, starting with the earliest:

A: Be Prepared
B: The Lion Sleeps Tonight
C: Can You Feel the Love Tonight
D: I Just Can’t Wait to be King

hope_pride: d a b c
simbathemighty: dabc
Ciara _: dabd
This Land Neale: bugger
Ciara _: dabc
This Land Neale: too late ><
Ciara _: crap >.<

<D: I Just Can’t Wait to be King>
<A: Be Prepared>
<B: The Lion Sleeps Tonight>
<C: Can You Feel the Love Tonight>

hope_pride: lol bad luck thisland
hope_pride: woooo

Hope & Pride made it again! This could be very interesting as Hope & Pride is going to try reclaim the lead here since Audra stole it away earlier in the show. He could also win by reaching $500,000 in this game, but let’s take it one question at a time. Hope & Pride, if you’re ready, here’s your $1,000 question!

$1,000
In TLK, Zazu tells Scar that Mufasa “Is as mad as a hippo with a” what?

A: Stomachache
B: Migraine
C: Hernia
D: Speeding ticket

hope_pride: omg lol
hope_pride: wait i forgot

Huh? Oh boy… well you have three lifelines, and you won’t be the first to use one on the $1,000 question! I wouldn’t want you to be the first to bust out with no money, however. Better use a lifeline.
hope_pride: *thinks*

<long pause>

hope_pride: how much time

15 more seconds, you can use the time extension though it’s only the first question
hope_pride: hmm
hope_pride: cant waste it
hope_pride: hmm
hope_pride: C
hope_pride: final

<C: Hernia>
<win $1,000 music, applause>

Don’t scare me like that!

hope_pride: scared myself
hope_pride: lol

That might have been the longest anyone’s ever taken on the first question, but gladly it was much smoother sailing after that, all the way to the $32,000 question, then the smoothness came to a grinding halt.

$32,000
The two separate touring companies of TLKOB in the United States used to be known by which names?

A: “Cheetah” and “Zebra”
B: “Zebra” and “Gazelle”
C: “Cheetah” and “Gazelle”
D: “Giraffe” and “Gazelle”

hope_pride: oh no

<hope_pride has been disconnected>

Uh oh! Tal has lost us. We’ll wait for a few minutes for him to return… hopefully he will or I’ll have to keep his $16,000 that he’s won already! We’ll be right back, hopefully with Tal, right after this short break!

This Land Neale: *lights up a cig* what a game

<short break>

Welcome back!

hope_pride: ugh sorry for the delay every1
Ciara _: wie
hope_pride: computer died
hope_pride: it got a shock from the horrible question

<audience laughs>

hope_pride: poll the herd

$32,000

B: “Zebra” and “Gazelle”

tim646man: A: 34% B: 0% C: 66% D: 0%

hope_pride: ill go with it
hope_pride: hmm

There’s not a lot of people in the audience today, so that spread might be a little closer than usual… but still a big majority.

hope_pride: final
hope_pride: dont let me down
hope_pride: herd

<lock in C: “Cheetah” and “Gazelle”> <close up of Tal… drumroll>

He says “don’t let me down…” Tal, they did…

hope_pride: O_o

PROVIDE YOU WITH THE RIGHT ANSWER!

<C: “Cheetah” and “Gazelle”>

You’ve just won $32,000!!! <wild appalause>
This Land Neale: woot
hope_pride: u scared me again
hope_pride: "they did"

And that’s all he would leave with as he went on to miss the $125,000 question.

<fog horn siren>

And that’s all the time we have today! I’d like to take a moment to congratulate our three winners:

Stevie (Zazu and Hyena Fan), $1,000 <applause>
Tal R. (Hope & Pride), $32,000 <applause>
Audra Fahmie (Sharifu), $250,000 <booming applause and cheers>

Until next show which will be January 21, 2007, I’ll be in Disneyworld coming up with more questions for you all to answer and win more big virtual dollars on Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! Good night! <applause as theme music plays>
