The Amazing Race 16 is the sixteenth 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 sixteenth cycle started on Sunday, February 14, 2010. It aired on CBS in the United States on Sunday nights at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT with the season finale on May 9, 2010, 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. The show was again hosted by Phil Keoghan.
Brothers Daniel "Dan" and Jordan Pious were the winners of this Race.
The season was released by CBS DVD on November 4, 2014, in a DVD set including all episodes and its accompanying Elimination Station webseries. It was only made available through online purchase, manufactured by Amazon.com's CreateSpace.
The sixteenth season spanned 40,000 miles (64,000 km) across five continents and nine countries, including Chile, Argentina, Germany, France, Malaysia, Singapore, China and for the first time, the Seychelles.
Racers were observed leaving Los Angeles International Airport on November 28, 2009. 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. Filming of the show has also been reported in Bariloche, Argentina, and continuing on to Germany and production crews were reported to be seen around Singapore, particularly in the Bugis area and the Singapore Flyer.
In the third episode, which aired on February 28, 2010 and featured the contestants departing Chile, Phil Keoghan acknowledged the February 27, 2010 massive earthquake in Chile in a special opening.
