Have you ever wondered what teachers discuss in the breakroom when they’re not reading through stacks of student essays and tests? Besides the usual topics of grades or lessons, Mitch and Christina often digress into conversations about movies, music and tv. We’re two English teachers who harbor secret hopes of one day becoming famous entertainment world critics. We know we’re a little obsessed, but we’ve accepted it, even embraced it. We’ve created this blog to invite you to join our conversation.

Welcome to The Breakroom.

This...... is....... Jeopardy!


There aren't too many shows that I routinely watch anymore. Jeopardy! is on that exclusive list. Since most programs are in the re-run part of their schedules and shows like Chuck, Lost, and American Idol haven't begun their new seasons yet, I can spend more time occasionally discussing America's favorite game show. Or at least my favorite game show.


Here’s a Jeopardy! wagering quiz that is taken straight from Monday night’s episode. (gotta love the official exclamation point in the title’s name) The champion, Stephen, landed on the daily double for the last question before Final Jeopardy. The scores at the time were:

Stephen- 15,100
Vince- 18,000
Kathy- 9,200

Based on these scores, how much should have Stephen guessed?
