Template:Infobox Television Amazing Race

The Amazing Race 16 is the sixteenth and current installment of the reality television show The Amazing Race. The Amazing Race 16 features several teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, in a race around the world. The show premiered on CBS on February 14, 2010, at 8 pm EST/PST.[1].

Production

Development and filming

The sixteenth season spans 40,000 miles (64,000 km) across five continents and nine countries, including Chile, France, England, and for the first time, the Seychelles.[2][3]

Racers were observed leaving Los Angeles International Airport on November 28, 2009.[4] For the third time, teams had to use public transportation to make their way from the Starting Line to the airport. Teams had also done so in Seasons 1 and 6.

Racers were reported checking into a Pit Stop in Puerto Varas, Chile on December 2.[5] Filming of the show has also been reported in Bariloche, Argentina,[6] and production crews were reported to be seen around Singapore, particularly in the Bugis area and the Singapore Flyer.[7]

Cast

Applications were originally due on July 10, 2009 but the deadline was later extended. Semi-finalist interviews were held sometime in August 2009 and the final casting interviews took place in Los Angeles around September and October 2009. Filming took place around November and December 2009.[8][9]

Notable cast members include Big Brother 11 houseguests Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder, 2007 Miss South Carolina Teen USA Caite Upton, and Cleveland Indians third-base coach Steve Smith. Caite, 20, is the youngest contestant in the show's history (excluding the Family Edition), while Jody Kelly, 71, is the oldest contestant in the show's history. Other racers include cowboys, detectives, a lesbian couple, high school sweethearts, and attorney moms.

Results

The following teams participated in the Race, with their relationships at the time of filming. Note this table does not necessarily reflect all content broadcast on television due to inclusion or exclusion of some data. Placements are listed in finishing order.

Template:FnbBrent & Caite initially arrived 2nd, but were issued a 30-minute penalty for going on foot instead of taking the funicular from the Roadblock as instructed in their clue; they dropped to 7th.
Template:FnbDan & Jordan initially arrived 4th, but were issued a 15-minute penalty for losing a paintbrush during the additional task; they dropped to 8th.
Template:FnbDana & Adrian failed to complete the Roadblock in Leg 1. After Adrian's second attempt failed and after all other teams had already checked in at the Pit Stop, Phil came out to the Roadblock location and eliminated them.

  • Red means the team was eliminated.
  • Green ƒ means the team won the Fast Forward clue. A green-colored leg number indicates that the Fast Forward was available for that leg but not used.
  • An underlined Blue team's placement means the team came in last on a non-elimination leg.

Prizes

The prize for each leg is awarded to the first place team for that leg. All trips are sponsored by Travelocity.

Elimination Station

After elimination, the first six teams eliminated were sequestered at a villa in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to await the finale. CBS posted short videos on its website after each episode aired in the Pacific Time Zone to show the eliminated teams interacting at the villa.

  • After Leg 1, Dana & Adrian were the first team eliminated and sent to the villa. They expressed their disappointment after Adrian's second attempt failed during the Roadblock task. Adrian is terribly afraid of heights and he wanted to kiss Dana to reaffirm their relationship. They discussed their marriage, had a tour on a beach, and saw big whales in the ocean.

  1. "Nanna Is Kickin' Your Butt" – Louie
