A Farewell Song for Raymond Rahme

Raymond Rahme - The Pride of South Africa

"I have a lot of respect for you," said Jerry Yang as he emphatically shook Raymond Rahme's hand moments after Rahme's elimination.

Even in the face of an elimination, the South African railbirds chanted a farewell song for Rahme as he slowly walked over to them to be consoled. The entire crowd rose to its feet and gave him a standing ovation, the loudest by far out of the other seven eliminations.

Before he left the stage to be interviewed by ESPN, one of Rahme's friends tied a South African flag around his neck. Rahme held his head high as he headed towards the spot where they taped his exit interview.
