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 eleven 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 and in Canada, the show premiered on the A channel, not CTV (due to the 2010 Winter Olympics) but it returned to CTV after the Winter Olympics concluded.[1]
Production
Development and filming
The sixteenth season spans 40,000 miles (64,000 km) across five continents and nine countries, including Chile, Germany, [2] France, and for the first time, Seychelles.[3][4]
Racers were observed leaving Los Angeles International Airport on November 28, 2009.[5] 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.[6] Filming of the show has also been reported in Bariloche, Argentina, and continuing on to Germany[7] and production crews were reported to be seen around Singapore, particularly in the Bugis area and the Singapore Flyer.[8]
In the third episode of The Amazing Race 16, which aired on February 28, 2010, Phil Keoghan acknowledged the February 27, 2010 massive earthquake in Chile in a special opening.[9]
Leg 4 featured an Intersection for the first time since Season 11. Also for the first time since the Intersection was introduced, teams did a Roadblock together, where one person from each of the intersected teams had to work together to complete the Roadblock. This is also the first time since Season 8 that two racers worked together to complete a Roadblock.
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.[10][11]
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.

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.
Template:FnbAt the beginning of Leg 3, Brent & Caite were originally supposed to depart 4th, but because both had to be treated for dehydration at the emergency room in a local hospital, they departed last, 3 hours and 5 minutes after their scheduled time.
- 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 and had to perform a Speed Bump in the next leg of the race.
- Matching colors and symbols (+, ^, - and ~) indicate teams who worked together during part of the leg as a result of the Intersection route marker.
- A brown » means the team chose to use a U-Turn; « indicates the team who recieved it; «» indicates a leg where the U-Turn was available but not used.
Prizes
The prize for each leg is awarded to the first place team for that leg. All trips are sponsored by Travelocity.
- Leg 1 – A trip for two to Vancouver, British Columbia
- Leg 2 - A pair of sailboats
- Leg 3 - A trip for two to Patagonia
- Leg 4 - Two $5,000 pre-loaded Discover Cards
Elimination Station
After elimination, eliminated teams 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.
- After Leg 2, Jody & Shannon were the second team eliminated and sent to the villa. Jody voices her regrets that she did the Roadblock instead of Shannon. Adrian was surprised to hear that Jody had not hoped or expected to win the race, but Shannon still insisted that they could have done it. The teams were treated to an elemental spa with treatments based on fire, earth, water, and air.
- After Leg 3, Monique & Shawne were the third team eliminated and sent to the villa. All the previous eliminated teams were shocked to see Monique & Shawne, and Monique & Shawne were saddened at missing their daughters' birthdays. The next day, the teams went to Las Juantas Y Los Veranos to learn how to make tequila, which included Adrian cutting open a blue agave which took him at about 6 minutes and 9 seconds.
- Leg 4 was a non-elimination leg, hence no new teams were sent to the villa.

- "When the Cow Kicked Me in the Head" – Jody
- "Run Like Scalded Dogs!" – Jet
