The Amazing Race 16 is the sixteenth installment of the reality television show The Amazing Race, and is the current season. 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 upcoming 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]

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, at age 20, is the youngest contestant in the show's history (not including the Family Edition which included several younger racers), while Jody Kelly, at age 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 given a 30 minute penalty for not taking the funicular from the Roadblock. Because of this, they dropped to 7th place.
Template:FnbDan & Jordan initially arrived 6th, but received a 15 minute penalty for losing a paint brush during the additional task. Two teams were checked in during the penalty. Because of this, they dropped to 8th place.
Template:FnbDana & Adrian failed to complete the Roadblock in Leg 1. After Adrian's second failed attempt, Phil came to them to notify them that all of the other teams had checked in at the Pit Stop and that they had been eliminated.

  • 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.
