[/color][/b]
We had three people get it right but in the fastest time, Audra! Congratulations, you’re first up!

simbathemighty: gz dear
Audra: Thanks XP
Randy Reighard: great job
This Land Neale: well doness audra ^^
Audra: Thanks

We’re here in the hot seat with Audra, who is making her record-breaking 11th appearance in the Hot Seat in 14 shows, an incredible feat!

Randy Reighard: HOLY COW!!
Lucy Parker: wow, 11, thats awesome
Randy Reighard: 11
Audra: lol
Audra: Thank you

And moreover she has racked up $740,000 in total winnings, good enough for 1st place!

Randy Reighard: that's nuts!!

With a $250,000 win today, you’ll be at $990,000 overall EVER so close to the million but let’s take it one question at a time, let’s play Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! <applause, cut>

Audra got a little caught up on the $16,000 question and asked the herd for help...

$16,000
In TLK 1 ½, what size grub bag does Pumbaa get during one of the film’s breaks?

A: Large
B: Extra-Large
C: Jumbo
D: Super-Size

Audra: Can I poll the herd?

Yes you can, herd, please PM me your vote, what size grub bag does Pumbaa get?

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

Ciara _: yesh
Audra: Wow
Lucy Parker: hehe
Audra: lol
This Land Neale: woah
Audra: I was thinking it was C or D

I think they’re trying to tell you something here! Want to make C, Jumbo your final?
Audra: Yes I will
Audra: C
Audra: Final

<lock in C: Jumbo>

[color=green][b]<C: Jumbo>[/color][/b] <applause>

Lucy Parker: yay!
Audra: Thanks everyone
Randy Reighard: yahoooo!!!!!!!!

She then went on to steamroll the $32,000 question about Timon’s “beady” eyes in TLKOB, took a chance on the $64,000 when she could have used the “Audra Cheat” to get a free answer and correctly decided to save her double dip, and then was soon staring down a tough $125,000 question!

<roaring applause>

Audra! With that $64,000 win you’re now only TWO questions away, really, from being a virtual lock to win the game as you have $740,000 already in accumulated winnings. We could be seeing a new champion here in a matter of moments folks, let’s see the $125,000 question! <applause>

$125,000
In 2004, TLKOB opened at the Fortis Circustheatre in what country?

A: Germany
B: Holland
C: Australia
D: France
<long pause>

Audra: Hmm

Let’s explore your options – you have your phone a friend and your double dip left, so no “cheat” here but maybe there’s someone that would know this?

Audra: Hmm
Audra: I don't know who would know though
Audra: I'll do DD

I just want to make sure you know that you can’t use the Phone-A-Friend after you decide to use the Double Dip, ok?
Audra: Ok

Good, Double Dip is now in play! What’s your first guess?

Audra: C

C: Australia, final answer?

Audra: Yeah

<lock in C: Australia> <pause…. drumroll>

[color=red][b]<C: Australia>[/color][/b]

Oh no, but that’s okay. One more chance! Germany, Holland or France. It’s all riding on this answer my friend, you have the potential championship on the line. I’ll give you more time if you need it...

Audra: Hmm...
Audra: I didn't think it opened in Paris until last year...
Audra: Uh
<another long pause>

Audra I hate to rush you but I need your decision, you’re down to only 15 seconds.

Audra: I guess I'll go with A, I can't walk away doing DD right?

No, sorry. You must answer both times.

Audra: I think it's A or B
Audra: I'll go with A

A, Germany, Fortis Circustheatre, final answer???

Audra: Yeah

<lock-in A: Germany>
<long drumroll, closeup of Audra, audience sweating it out>

[color=red][b]<A: Germany>[/color][/b]
<wrong answer decrescendo>

Oh darn it!!! Audra sorry that’s not right. You were right about it being A or B though...


Audra: Was it B?

[color=limegreen][b]<B: Holland>[/color][/b]
Lucy Parker: omg
tim646man: B: Holland
Audra: Oh well

Audra put together another nice run and added $32,000 to her already impressive run, which most importantly enabled her to win the game should she win just $250,000 on the next show! Great job today Audra! <applause>

After everybody missed the next Fastest Finger, I decided to toss in a rather offbeat replacement!

Put the following Lea members in order according to their age, starting with the youngest:

Audra: haha
Lucy Parker: hehe
hope_pride: oh rofl
Ciara _: haha
This Land Neale: lol

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

This Land Neale: dbac
hope_pride: cdba
Ciara _: cdab
Randy Reighard: dcav
hope_pride: no idea sorry if i made anyone feel old
Randy Reighard: dcab
Randy Reighard: lol
[color=skyblue][b]
<C: Monai> (13)
<D: Lion King Stu> (18)
<A: Sharifu> (21)
<B: Nathalie> (23)
[/color][/b]
And the only one to get it right was Ciara! All right! You’re going to be our next contestant.

simbathemighty: gratz Ciara
<cut>

Ciara was one of our late starters this season and has really not had a whole lot of opportunity to play our game, she had only won $1,000 up to today in one single appearance but would today be her day to break through the ranks?
<cue Ciara going for $16,000>

$16,000
Which of the following Timon lines is not from TLK II: Simba’s Pride?

A: “It’s the hard truth Pumbaa, live with it!”
B: “Talk about your winds of war!”
C: “Au contraire, my porcine pal!”
D: “Pumbaa, my corpulent compadre…”

Hmm, see if you can try remember each of those scenes where Pumbaa says those lines. Are there any that you know are from TLK II?

Ciara _: sch... *thinks*
<long pause>

Ciara _: C

C, Au contraire. Pretty sure about it?

Ciara _: yea

Final?

Ciara _: yes

<lock in C: “Au contraire, my porcine pal!”>

[color=limegreen][b]<C: “Au contraire, my porcine pal!”>[/color][/b]
You got it! Well done! <wild applause>

Audra: Good I thought it was that too
Lucy Parker: yay!
Ciara _: i had to think of the swedish version
Lucy Parker: hehe, yeah, fab question Tim
Audra: good question

Ciara, this is a very important moment for you. You’re going now for $32,000 and if you get this right, you’ll guarantee yourself to win that much money and also gain an extra lifeline, the Double Dip. Ready?

Ciara_: yea

Let’s go for it!

$32,000
After which of the following songs in TLKOB is there no scheduled audience applause?

A: Endless Night
B: Shadowland
C: Be Prepared
D: The Madness of King Scar

Ciara _: .. ill prolly phone someone cuz i have no idea about TLKOB things ..

Good decision. Who would you like to phone?

Ciara _: audra?

Audra, are you there?

Audra: Hmm...
Audra: Yeah I guess

Ciara needs your help on this TLKOB question, 30 seconds and it starts now!
<cue tick-tock SFX>

Audra: I think it's A... Because when Simba stops singing it shows Rafiki...
Ciara _: okay
Audra: Seeing Simba is alive and such...
Audra: I think that's what the question means...
Ciara _: yea..
<buzz-buzz>

Ciara _: well ..
Ciara _: well ill trust her too .. x) i have no idea else cuz i havent seen the show ..

Oh! Well then I guess you’ll have to trust her then, A: Endless Night, final answer???

Ciara _: yes ill take A

<lock in A: Endless Night><audience is silent>

Audra... was...

<to be continued>

[color=limegreen][b]<A: Endless Night>[/color][/b]
<cue $32,000 win SFX>

RIGHT!!! Ciara, you just won $32,000! <thunderous applause, cheers>


hope_pride: cool
Audra: :)
Ciara _: yay thanks ^^

<cut>

And after using the Audra Cheat on the $64,000 question, that is what she walked away with. So Ciara did indeed break new ground multiply her winnings by 64 times! Great job, and you’ll be back in the hot seat soon.

We still had a great many players vying for that coveted seat, so we went right along to Fastest Finger #3, and it was a “Pick Four”!

Out of the following seven Simba lines, pick the four that he says in TLK II: Simba’s Pride:

A: “Stay on the path I’ve marked for you”
B: “I’ve missed you, too”
C: “We’ll see who you really are”
D: “But Dad, don’t we eat the antelope?”
E: “Looks like the winds are changing”
F: “Danger could be lurking behind every rock”
G: “Exile!”

This Land Neale: acfg
Zazu and Hyena fan: acef
Randy Reighard: acfg
hope_pride: a f g c
[color=skyblue][b]
<A: “Stay on the path I’ve marked for you”>
<C: “We’ll see who you really are”>
<F: “Danger could be lurking behind every rock”>
<G: “Exile!”>
[/color][/b]
And This Land (Adam) not only got his answer first, he was absolutely right! Great work there and take your seat!

This Land Neale: oh yes
Ciara _: wee TL XD
Lucy Parker: lol tim, you sounded so cute when you said 'do we eat the antelope?'
Audra: yay
hope_pride: lol

Adam Neale had won $34,000 in the game thus far in three appearances and was itching to climb that leaderboard. But everyone was amazed he even was able to make it into the hot seat, as Adam had been awake for 35 consecutive hours! Surviving on red bull and various other forms of caffeine, he was quite wired. <cue TL’s game>

Adam, buddy, you’re not going to fall asleep on me are you?
This Land Neale: get another red bull

Yeah that would help! Let’s play for a million bucks!
<cut to $16,000 question>

$16,000
During the “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” scene from TLKOB, Zazu refers to the curtain as what household object?

A: Duvet
B: Tablecloth
C: Quilt
D: Shower curtain

If you’re not sure Adam you still have ALL THREE of your lifelines at your disposal

Lucy Parker: who needs lifelines when ya got red bull?
This Land Neale: D

D: Shower curtain, wow! Final answer?

Randy Reighard: Red bull gives you WINGS!!

This Land Neale: shower curtain from Ikea
This Land Neale: yes

<lock in D: Shower Curtain>

[color=limegreen][b]<D: Shower Curtain>[/color][/b]
Right for Sixteen Thousand! <applause, cheers>

Lucy Parker: yay! hehe
Randy Reighard: *CLAPS*CLAPS*CLAPS*CLAPS
Audra: yay

For the next show I highly recommend everyone stay awake for 35 hours before coming to the studio, it seems to be working very well!
This Land Neale: XD
This Land Neale: hehe
Randy Reighard: lol
This Land Neale: lmao
Randy Reighard: Funny Tim

Adam was far from done, in his bewildered state he pressed on and on, taking chances and random guesses and got to the $125,000 question with no lifelines left. Ladies and gentlemen, may I repeat, do NOT try this at home! <cue Adam’s $125,000 question>
<audience is going nuts>

$125,000
In the TLK: Six New Adventures book “Vulture Shock,” what was the name of the group of vultures that befriend Kopa?

A: The Winged Assembly
B: The Scavenger Squad
C: The Buzzard Boyz
D: The Friendly Flyers

This Land Neale: yepp^^
This Land Neale: Do you want to know somthing?

What is that?

This Land Neale: I Have Never read em ><

<Audience: LOL!>

Oh you tease! I thought you were going to say “I just read that book YESTERDAY!”

This Land Neale: wait ...

Well in that case I highly advise you to walk away, being that you only have a 25% chance to get it right and that you’re risking $32,000 to do it!

This Land Neale: exactrly

So you’re going to take your $64,000 and run then, final decision?
<long pause>

Earth to Adam???

This Land Neale: im just gonna guess <audience gasps>

Randy Reighard: oh MY!!
hope_pride: go for it
Randy Reighard: WHAT!?
Ciara _: <bites nails>
Lucy Parker: <nervous>

WOW I can’t believe it, Adam you lose $32,000 if you are wrong! But I won’t stop you, what’s your answer?

This Land Neale: C

C: Buzzard Boyz. Final answer?

This Land Neale: just a gues
This Land Neale: i dont mind
This Land Neale: go for it

<lock in C: Buzzard Boyz>
<close up of Adam, audience is so silent you can hear a pin drop>

Adam, this is one of the most risky moves I’ve ever seen in two years on the show…

[color=limegreen][b]<C: Buzzard Boyz>[/color][/b]
YOU GOT IT!!! UNBELIEVABLE! $125,000!!! <deafening applause, cheers>

Randy Reighard: *speechless
This Land Neale: YAY
Audra: Yeah
Lucy Parker: aaaah! omg!
Randy Reighard: HOLY COW!!
Ciara _: no way!
This Land Neale: OMG
Audra: lol
Randy Reighard: WOW!!!!!!!!!!
simbathemighty: you made it dood
Randy Reighard: *CLAPS*CLAPS*CLAPS*CLAPS*CLAPS*CLAPS*CLAPS
<cut>

What an amazing moment, Adam took a shot in the dark and made it, but unfortunately that kind of a guess can make you feel invincible, and his game came to a crashing end when he took another guess on the $250,000 question and was wrong, costing him $93,000 and tying Audra for the most money lost on one question for Season 2.

But that kind of play is what makes a champion, as it was clear Adam wanted to go all the way, and I hope we get to see him back in the hot seat again.

We were just about out of time but had a chance for ONE more player:

Put the following scenes in the order the occur in TLK II: Simba’s Pride starting with the earliest:

A: Nuka scratches his back
B: Nuka dies
C: Nuka lights a fire around himself
D: Zira dies

simbathemighty: bcda
hope_pride: acbd
Zazu and Hyena fan: acbd
Audra: lol STM
Randy Reighard: acbd
simbathemighty: lol if I'm right
Ciara _: haha STM XD
simbathemighty: but I can't
hope_pride: lol
[color=skyblue][b]
<A: Nuka scratches his back>
<C: Nuka lights a fire around himself>
<B: Nuka dies>
<D: Zira dies>
[/color][/b]
And it was Hope & Pride that made it! He was in second place starting the day at a strong $690,000 and needed $82,000 more to catch up to Audra and overtake her for first place on the leaderboard. Unfortunately, the game did not go anywhere near as expected for our friend Tal…

$2,000
According to the lyrics of “Hakuna Matata,” Pumbaa’s friends never stood where?

A: Upwind
B: Downwind
C: Behind him
D: Downstream

hope_pride: A
hope_pride: final

<lock in A: Upwind>
hope_pride: oops
hope_pride: B
hope_pride: lol
hope_pride: typo
hope_pride: B final

No no Tal, I’m sorry it’s too late...

[color=red][b]<A: Upwind>[/color][/b]
<audience awws>

[color=limegreen][b]<B: Downwind>[/color][/b]

Once you say “final” I have to lock it in, again I’m sorry but that’s the rules.

Randy Reighard: oh!
hope_pride: ooo
Ciara _:
Randy Reighard:
This Land Neale: that sucks
hope_pride: ooh
Ciara _:
hope_pride: lol
hope_pride: this sucked

<fog horn siren>

Darn, I hate to end the game on a sour note like that, but let’s take a moment to congratulate all of our winners today!

Hope & Pride, $1,000! <applause>
Sharifu (Audra), $32,000! <wild applause>
This Land (Adam), $32,000! <wild applause>
