TidePod Season 2, Episode 9: Mr. RM Trivia
The TidePod, which was started in early 2019, is currently in its sixth season. Graphic designed by Valerie Wang.
In the ninth episode of the second season of the TidePod, we hosted a trivia game between candidates for this year’s Mr. RM.
Mr. RM is an annual tradition in Richard Montgomery where senior boys compete head to head in various contests and performances to see who will ultimately be crowned Mr. RM. This is also a charity event sponsored by RM’s Student Government Association, where the money candidates collect and ticket sales are donated to Pennies for Patients, to support cancer patients across the country. This year, Mr. RM was held in the auditorium on Friday, March 6 at 7 p.m. The various competitions include a group performance, talent show, formal wear competition, and a swimwear competition. Then, audience members voted on who they’d like to elect Mr. RM, following in the candidates being narrowed down to the final five. The final five then answered questions, and the winner, Tudor Postolache, was crowned after a judging period.
In this episode, we held a friendly competition to test the candidates on their knowledge of Richard Montgomery High School history, pop culture, and general knowledge trivia. In this episode, candidates Christian Rivera, Michael Thomas, Justin Tang, Logan Turner-Mannix, and Matthew Giantelli competed on the gold team, and Rob Kearns, Eddie Rizkallah, Ethan Kwun, Pranav Tadikonda, and Freddy Martinez competed on the black team. Candidates Kevin Hrozencik, Tudor Postolache, Eric Hall, and Camber Vincent were not present.
