Who Wants To be King Of The Pridelands

Season 2

Week 6

Hello there and welcome to the weekly review of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands! We had an early show today, but most everyone was still able to show up which was great to see. Our first contestant was a “cliff hanger” from last week, Stevie (Zazu and Hyena Fan) who had just won $32,000 and was in great shape with three lifelines left… how would she fare with the higher level questions? Let’s watch!

$64,000
In June 2006, TLKOB moved from the New Amsterdam to which Broadway theatre?

A: Minskoff
B: Apollo
C: Majestic
D: Imperial

Zazu and Hyena fan: poll the herd.

Okay herd, Stevie needs your help here, using A B C or D please vote now!

A: 32% B: 16% C: 32% D: 16%

Ohhh my, not much help there Stevie. Minskoff and Majestic are out in front with 32% but Apollo and Imperial also got votes. You still have your phone-a-friend and double dip if you care to use them.

Zazu and Hyena fan: I guess A.

Allright then, Stevie looks like she’s planning to save those lifelines… A, Minskoff, final answer?
Zazu and Hyena fan: Yes.

<lock-in A… drumroll> An equal amount of the audience also guessed C…

Correct answer flashes: A: Minskoff

Stevie, you just won $64,000! Congratulations!

Zazu and Hyena fan: Yay!

Unfortunately on the $125,000 question about which song was left off of the Japanese TLKOB soundtrack, she did not phone one of the few audience members that had listened to the CD but instead tried her luck with the Double Dip and was not able to come up with the correct answer of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” but still a great run for Stevie and her first shot in the Hot Seat! <applause>

We still had a number of players looking for their chance at fame and fortune, and here comes the contestant introductions:

Welcome to week 6 of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands – we have seven players today that have joined us from all over the world, and they are:

Audra Fahmie, San Jose, California <applause>
Dani, Leeds, England <applause>
Darkslash, Houston, Texas <applause>
STM, Espoo, Finland <applause>
Nathalie, Antwerp, Belgium <applause>
Lucy Parker, Birchington, England <applause>
and Stevie Rader, Los Angeles, California <applause>

Good luck to all of you and here is the first fastest finger question of the day:

<cut> Well, we’re going to skip past this part because nobody at all got the first Fastest Finger question right, of course because it was about TLK 1 ½. Would they know more about TLKOB?

Fastest Finger

Put the following actors from the Original Cast of TLKOB in the order they appeared on stage, starting with the earliest:

A: Jason Raize
B: Heather Headley
C: Tsidii Le Loka
D: John Vickery

darkslash1: BCDA
simbathemighty: badc
Audra: cdab
Dan: acbd
Nathalie: cdab
<buzz-buzz>

Correct Order: C, D, A, B

Audra and Nath both got it but Audra was slightly faster! Audra you’re going to be next in the Hot Seat! <applause>

This was a HUGE game for Audra because she was currently in 2nd place by exactly $32,000 to Dani, so winning that much on today’s show would make the battle all square once again. Audra was also a little jet-lagged having just flown in from Finland not even 24 hours prior, would this affect her usually-solid game? Let’s see Audra try to improve on her $221,000 in earnings.

$8,000
In TLK II: Simba’s Pride, one of Timon’s lines during Kiara’s hunt refers to what classic American folk song?

A: “My Old Kentucky Home”
B: “Red River Valley”
C: “Home on the Range”
D: “The Star-Spangled Banner”

Audra: Wha...
Audra: I'm trying to remember...

Ok she’s running the song through her head to see if she can pick up any lines…

Audra: Man I really don't remember this...
Audra: Hmm

Well, we can either narrow it down by two or ask one person in that audience for help, which would benefit you the most?

Audra: I'll do 5050

Computer, please randomly take away two of the wrong answers, leaving Audra one wrong answer and the correct one!

C: “Home on the Range”
D: “The Star-Spangled Banner”

Audra: I'm not really sure since I can't remember... But I think I'll just guess

Your odds are quite better than before I must say!

Audra: C

C: “Home on the Range.” Final answer?
Audra: Yes

<lock-in C> Right for $8,000! <applause>

Yes indeed, Timon’s line is in fact “This must be where the deer and the antelope play” which is a reference to “Home on the Range.”

Audra: Ohhh yeah
darkslash1: oh yeah

Good job and use of your lifelines Audra, kept yourself in the game. <cut>

She then went on to ace my $16,000 question but was faced with an absolutely gut-wrenching decision on the $32,000 level, would she make it out alive?

<applause> Audra, you’re rebounded magnificently from your rough start, and this is a really important question for you because if you get it right you’ll be tied with Dani at the top of the Leaderboard, but if you miss you drop all the way back down to $1,000. Ready?

Audra: ready

Let’s go for the big 32!

$32,000
In TLK, which of the following animals did not join Pumbaa at the waterhole during the narration part of the “Hakuna Matata” song?

A: Hippopotamus
B: Giraffe
C: Zebra
D: Rhinoceros

Audra: D

A quick answer…

Audra: Hmm

Oh wait, maybe she’s having second thoughts about “Rhinoceros”

Audra: Um <long pause>

Audra you have only about 15 seconds left, I need your decision or a call for the time extension

Audra: Time

Time extension granted – 45 seconds now to ponder this one. <another long pause>

Audra: I knnow it's A or D ugh

You do have your last lifeline, the Phone-A-Friend, you probably want to use it and see if it will help.

Audra: Yes XD
Audra: I'll phone someone

Is it who I think it is???

Audra: Hmm
Audra: STM
Dan: -_-
simbathemighty: oh my

STM, you’ve been summoned! 30 seconds on the clock please, your time starts right now! <cue tick-tock SFX>

Audra: Dear do you know? XD
simbathemighty: well I'm pretty sure it's D too
Audra: Really?
Audra: Ok, I guess not much more needs to be said then huh?
simbathemighty: yeah i know there is B and C and hippos I'm pretty sure
<buzz-buzz>

Time’s up… He said he was “pretty sure” it’s D, Rhinoceros. What do you think?

Audra: I'll walk I think... I'm still not sure

Oh wow she’s going to walk! Taking the $16,000 Audra, is that your final decision:?

Audra: No, wait
Audra: I'll go with D <audience laughs nervously>
Audra: XD

Wow, Audra first thought D and then wanted to walk and then went back to D again…

Audra: I can't seem to decide
Audra: I'll just go with D

Ok my friend, I really hope you’re right. D, final?

Audra: Yeah

<lock-in D… drumroll, camera gets a nice closeup of Audra and STM in the background>
<to be continued>

She’s trusting STM, he’s come through many times before as a phone-a-friend…..
<wrong answer music, audience awws>

Noooo! Audra I’m so sorry STM was wrong. Here’s the correct answer:

simbathemighty: please don't kill me! *hides*

A: Hippopotamus

Ouch, so Audra lost $15,000 on that question alone and wins only $1,000 for the day, but still boosting her overall total to an interesting figure of $222,000.

Fastest Finger Question #2

Put the following events from the ending sequence of TLK in the order they occur, starting with the earliest:

A: Animal skull is washed off Pride Rock
B: Simba hugs Rafiki
C: Simba roars
D: Mufasa says “Remember”

darkslash1: BACD
Dan: bdca
simbathemighty: acbd
Nathalie: adbc
darkslash1: oh shoot
Dan: sh*t
Dan: ><
<buzz-buzz>

Correct Order: B, A, D, C

No one got it right, for the second time today! So I had to dig into my “endless” supply of Fastest Finger questions to find another player:

Put the following Zazu one-liners from TLKOB in the order he says them, starting with the earliest:

A: “You’ve already bucked up, sire, royally”
B: “Your sense of humor never fails to abuse me”
C: “This wasn’t in the cartoon!”
D: “He’d make a very handsome throw rug”

darkslash1: DABC
Dan: dbac
simbathemighty: dcba
Nathalie: dabc
Dan: guess

Correct Order: D, C, B, A

Yep the reverse order, and STM got it right! Well done buddy, you’re going to make your first Hot Seat Appearance of the season! Congratz! <wild applause>

Unfortunately, right from the get-go SimbatheMighty had a “mighty” struggle, even using two lifelines on the very first question, but made a great run after that to look at the $16,000 question with his phone-a-friend left. Could STM make one of the greatest comebacks in WWTBKOTPL history? Let’s see…

Wow STM, what a great comeback from your slow start. Here it is for $16,000, one lifeline left!

$16,000
In TLK 1 ½, Ma says that Timon has pulled down how many walls in one month?

A: 2
B: 4
C: 6
D: 8

simbathemighty: C

Looks like STM thinks it’s definitely C, 6. Pretty sure about that one?
simbathemighty: yes
simbathemighty: well I'm not 100 sure tho but yeah

You know you can call someone for help with your last lifeline, right?

simbathemighty: yes quite
simbathemighty: I still go for that

C, final answer?
simbathemighty: yes
simbathemighty: yeah

You know what we’re going to do, we’re going to take a short break and be RIGHT BACK to see if STM has won $32,000!!! Stay tuned.

simbathemighty: are you trying to kill me?

Too bad for STM, the answer was B: 4 walls in one month, but he at least got on the board with $1,000.for Season 22

We had enough time for a few more questions, so here was the third Fastest Finger…

Fastest Finger

Put the following cub Simba lines from TLK in the order he says them, starting with the beginning of the movie:

A: “You’re so weird”
B: “That’ll be the first thing to go”
C: “Slimy, yet satisfying”
D: “I just want to be brave like you”

Dan: abdc
darkslash1: ABDC

Correct Order: A, B, D, C

darkslash1: dang!

Darkslash knew he was in trouble, and Dani just edged him out there by a matter of seconds to reclaim the Hot Seat! Dani, our current money leader, has been most impressive thus far this season. In this our sixth week of shows, Dani has made it into the hot seat six times, and you can’t do ANY better than that folks! On top of that, he was actually well-prepared for the game today, having watched TLK 1 ½ last night which enabled him to answer my $8,000 question with ease. Would his amazing run continue?

$16,000
In TLKOB, what question does Rafiki always ask at the end of her story during the “Rafiki’s Tree” scene?

A: “Get the picture?”
B: “Do you understand?”
C: “You don’t speak Swahili?”
D: “Should I continue?”

Dan: i think it's C but i'll poll the herd

Dan has an inkling but wants to make sure, herd please vote now!

A: 32% B: 49% C: 18% D: 0%

Wow… the results disprove your theory, Dani. 49% say B, “Do you understand?” and “Get the Picture?” is second with 32%.

Dan: hmm
Dan: might as well go for B

Final answer?

Dan: yeah

<lock-in B>

Audience saves the game once again! Dani’s got $16,000!!! <wild applause, cheers>

That was a brilliant use of his lifeline there – but he would need another one for the big $32,000 question…

Awesome job Dani, now you’ve reached the big one. A lot riding here on this answer, get it right, you’ll have a commanding lead in the standings and have a chance at a lot more, miss it and you’ll lose $15,000. Let’s play for $32,000!!! <cheering, cue ‘let
s play’ music>

$32,000
According to the animal chorus during the song “One of Us” in TLK II: Simba’s Pride, Kovu “can’t change his” what?

A: Stripes
B: Heart
C: Destiny
D: Fate

Dan: i'm singing the song in my head but i can't recall that line
Dan: i'll phone a friend

So then, who in this audience do you think would possibly have an idea on this one?

Dan: nathalie if she's there

Nath has been summoned! Are you there Nathalie?

Nathalie: yees?

Oh good, Dani needs your help desperately! You’ll have 30 seconds to assist him starting now!

Nathalie: A
Dan: positive?
Nathalie: yes, haha
Dan: awesome, i was thinking D but that was "helpless to defy his fate" didn't know if it was the same thing

<buzz-buzz>

Dan: yeah i'm gonna go A

Nathalie the soundtrack “freak” seemed very sure, is A your final answer???

Dan: yeah

<lock-in A… drumroll… closeup of Dani sweating bullets>

Kovu can’t change his…

A: Stripes

You DID IT!!! <roaring applause>

Lucy Parker: yay!
Audra: Wow, good job
Dan: dankje

Dani you certainly know how to use your lifelines my man, you called on probably the only person in the whole audience that knew that one and it secured you another nice payday. Congratulations, but let’s march onward into the big money, $64,000 coming up!

<fog horn siren>

No! Not now we’re on such a roll! Oh well, that sound means that we’re out of time for today, and Dani will be back with us next week with the Double Dip Lifeline and a chance for $64,000.

Dan: that means i gotta show up next week

Yes it does, but you’re doing so well how would you not want to show up? Let’s congratulate all of our winners today,

Audra (Sharifu), $1,000 <applause>
Simbathemighty, $1,000 <applause>
Stevie Rader (Zazu and Hyena Fan) $32,000 <wild applause>

And be sure to join us next week at our regularly scheduled time of 2pm Pacific/5pm Eastern/10pm GMT to see how much Dani wins. From the Yahoo! Instant Messenger “studio” of Who Wants to be King of the Pride Lands, this is your host lion_king_300 saying so long and see you next week! Bye! <applause, theme music plays>
