Andy here, and it’s tournament time! Here’s Day 1 of the Teacher’s Tournament!
Remember to tune in at 6:30 Eastern for Live Panel #24!
Colin O’Grady, Erin McLaughlin, and Martha Jackson are our first three quarterfinalists!
Remember, the top 4 nonwinning scores get wild cards!
J! round categories:
“C” YOU AT THE MOVIES
TEXT TALK
IN THE STATE CAPITAL
RECENT NONFICTION
KEEP CALM
CARRY ON
IN THE STATE CAPITAL $1000 had the Daily Double; Martha got to play it! Scores:
Martha $2,200
Colin $1,800
Erin $1,000
Martha bet $2,200. Her clue: The graves of Daniel Boone and his wife, Rebecca. Martha’s correct response put her at $4,400!
TEXT TALK’s 5 acronyms: RBTL, SITD, VBG, GMTA, and NSA (as used on dating sites). I’m pretty sure that I have personally used those five acronyms fever than five times — combined — over my entire life!
Scores at the first break:
Martha $5,000
Colin $2,400
Erin $1,000
It’s always fun to see the teacher’s reactions to their students’ “good luck” videos! A bunch of things in Colin’s video was blurred out — I’m curious about that!
Colin teaches “Titus Andronicus” by having his students throw fake blood at each other!
Martha is a math teacher. I wonder how much she looked at Final Jeopardy! wagering…
Back to the game, Colin had the best time on the buzzer over the back half of the round. I didn’t think that my own book was famous enough to make it into RECENT NONFICTION — and I was right! Scores after 30:
Martha $7,200
Colin $5,800
Erin $2,400
DJ! round categories:
I MYTH YOU
HARD ROCKERS
BRITISH NICKNAMES
ORGANIZATIONS
WE LIECH LIECHTENSTEIN!
STRIKE IT “RICH”
Colin’s pronunciation of Cardinal Richelieu (“Richie Lou”) gave Alex pause — and Alex made fun of Colin for it! Colin got to play the first Daily Double, under BRITISH NICKNAMES $1200! Scores:
Colin $16,200
Martha $8,400
Erin $2,800
Colin bet $3,000. His clue: “The Last King of America”. Colin “missed it by one” (he gave the previous king) and fell to $13,200.
ORGANIZATIONS $1600 had the other Daily Double, this one was Martha’s! Scores:
Colin $16,400
Martha $9,200
Erin $5,600
Martha bet $4,000. Her clue: This Utah institute is devoted to discovering & training new filmmakers, composers, & theatre artists. I had absolutely no idea on this one — Martha went for Burning Man and fell to $5,200.
Going into Final, the scores were:
Colin $21,200
Erin $7,600
Martha $5,200
FJ! category: LIBRARIES
FJ! clue: The street address of his Presidential Library is 40 Presidential Drive
Martha 5200 – 4800 = 400
Erin 7600 + 5000 = 12600
Colin 21200 – 0 = 21200
I feel worried about the American education system if two teachers felt that GHW Bush (one colloquially referred to as Bush 41) and Clinton was our 40th President.
Wild Card standings:
Colin O’Grady (Monday winner)
1. Erin McLaughlin $12,600
2. Martha Jackson $400
