  • At the start of this leg, teams were instructed to fly to San Francisco, California. Once there, teams had to travel to Battery Godfrey in Fort Point in order to receive their next clue, which was a riddle: "I was built in 1933. I'm 210 feet tall. My insides are lined with mural from 26 different artists. What am I?". Teams had to figure out that their next destination was Coit Tower.
  •   In this season's final Roadblock, one team member had to use an ascender to reach the top archways of Coit Tower in order to get their next clue before being lowered back to the ground.
  • After the Roadblock, teams had to travel to Industrial Light & Magic and find their next clue by the Yoda Fountain. Then, one team member had to put on a motion capture suit and enter a sound stage while their partner directed them to walk an avatar through a virtual course based on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. After getting through two levels of the course, the directing partner had to copy down their next clue from a computer screen which directed them to the Tonga Room.
  • Teams had to carry a trunk from the Tonga Room to their next location: the Great American Music Hall. Once there, teams opened their trunk, which contained eight psychedelic posters of the eliminated teams and three posters for the non-elimination legs. Teams had to arrange the posters in chronological order in order to receive their final clue.

Elimination Station

edit

The first five 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 to show the eliminated teams interacting at the villa.

  • After Leg 1, Dana & Adrian were the first team eliminated. 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 whales in the ocean.
  • After Leg 2, Jody & Shannon were the second team eliminated. Jody voiced 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 Amazing Race, but Shannon still insisted that they could have won. The teams were awarded an elemental spa with treatments based on fire, earth, water, and air.
  • After Leg 3, Monique & Shawne were the third team eliminated. The two previously eliminated teams were shocked to see Monique & Shawne who explained how they had a long day which led to their elimination and were saddened at missing their daughters' birthdays. The next day, the teams went to Las Juantas Y Los Veranos to make tequila, which included Adrian cutting open a blue agave in 6 minutes and 9 seconds.
  • Leg 4 was a non-elimination leg. The three eliminated teams bonded at the villa while Shannon was writing in her journal. Monique and Shawne suggested bringing Shannon to the beach, after which all the teams went. Shawne was given a leg and foot massage, while Shannon got her hair beaded, and Monique shared with Shannon how to win the Mexican guys with eye action.
  • After Leg 5, Joe & Heidi were the fourth team eliminated. They arrived while Adrian and Shannon were playing a game of table tennis. Jody & Shannon expressed their surprise and disappointment at seeing Joe & Heidi arrive, while Adrian was glad to have another man at the villa. Joe & Heidi expressed their frustration and explained how they arrived at the conclusion that Louie & Michael had Blind U-Turned them. Later, the teams went to town to shop. Joe tried to bargain with a store owner over the price of some jewelry for Heidi, which offended the owner.
  • After Leg 6, Jordan & Jeff were the fifth team eliminated. All the teams at the villa had a meal. As Jordan & Jeff arrived at the villa, they explained the circumstances that led to their elimination (struggling with navigation and the language barrier). They believed that Louie & Michael would be in the top 3. Joe again shared his disdain for Louie & Michael in a confessional. Jeff expressed his bitterness at having been evicted from Big Brother and now eliminated from The Amazing Race as he compares Elimination Station and Big Brother and Jury House. However, Jordan was satisfied from being in Elimination Station. The teams later went on a snorkeling trip. While on the trip, Monique & Shawne suffered from seasickness, and Heidi helped Adrian become comfortable in the water. The snorkeling trip also helped ease Jeff's bitterness at being eliminated.
  • Leg 7 was a non-elimination leg. At the pool, Adrian, Jeff, and Joe discussed how Louie & Michael U-Turned Joe & Heidi, because the detectives disliked them for personal reasons. The eliminated teams watched an exciting Mexican dance, and many of the racers joined in the dance. Jody performed a solo by playing the drum, which impressed Shannon. Later in the day, Joe shared with Heidi the main reason why Louie and Michael U-Turned them. Heidi added that if Joe were to meet Louie and Michael, he would confront them about it and how it affected the outcome of the season.
  • After Leg 8, Steve & Allie were the sixth team eliminated. At 2:00 a.m. the eliminated teams gathered to speculate on the next eliminated team. Steve & Allie called the villa, and Monique picked up the phone. Everyone was surprised and disappointed to hear that Steve & Allie were eliminated, especially Shannon. Joe then asked Steve about Louie & Michael's current situation in the season. Steve told Joe that his team was too strong and was a threat, which resulted in the U-Turn. Steve shared that bad decisions and a bad cab resulted in their elimination. Steve also said that either Jet & Cord or Louie & Michael would win the season.
  • After Leg 9, Carol & Brandy were the seventh team eliminated. When Carol & Brandy called the villa early in the morning, the other eliminated teams were shocked and disappointed to hear of their elimination, especially Shannon who wanted an all-girl team win. Carol & Brandy talked about the U-Turn and their dislike for Brent & Caite that led to their elimination. In response, Jordan said that Carol & Brandy were probably jealous of Caite's beauty. However, Adrian agreed with Carol & Brandy that them getting U-Turned was personal and that it could have been used on either Jet & Cord or Louie & Michael. That evening, the eliminated racers got to watch a Mexican wrestling match in an outdoor coliseum. Jordan got to escort a wrestler to the ring, and Adrian, the most enthusiastic fan of the group, bought a wrestling mask as a souvenir.
  • Leg 10 was a non-elimination leg. Jordan & Jeff talked with Dana and Adrian about how to strengthen their relationship. Then, all the teams at Elimination Station packed their bags and guessed where the final Leg would take place. Then left the villa and flew to End City.
  • After Leg 11, Louie & Michael were the eighth and final team eliminated. Elimination Station showed the five eliminated teams arriving at the End City in San Francisco, California. After arriving in San Francisco, the teams checked into a hotel, settled into their rooms, and awaited the phone call from the eighth team eliminated. Monique & Shawne were happy to see the end of the season. Dana said that Joe & Heidi hoped that Louie & Michael were not in the Final Three because of their dislike for them after being U-Turned. Louie & Michael called to the hotel, and the eliminated teams were shocked and disappointed to hear that Louie & Michael were eliminated. Joe asked Louie & Michael if they still felt that they had used the U-Turn correctly. Michael said yes because he thought Joe & Heidi would be tough to beat once the route reached Asia. Despite Louie and Michael being eliminated, Joe was still not satisfied. Jeff told Joe that Louie & Michael U-Turned Joe & Heidi because of personal reasons, which led to harsh words between Joe and Jeff. Joe concluded by saying that he will confront Louie and Michael the next time he sees them.
  • Leg 12 was the final leg of The Amazing Race 16. Elimination Station showed the Finish Line in Candlestick Park. All the eliminated teams were happy to find out which team they thought would win $1,000,000. Steve & Allie, Carol & Brandy, and Louie & Michael reunited with the other eliminated teams at the Finish Line. Shannon noticed that the Final Three teams were Dan & Jordan, Brent & Caite, and Jet & Cord. Dana said that it's anybody's race. All the eliminated teams were waiting to find out who would cross the Finish Line first and win the $1,000,000. Dan & Jordan were the first team to cross the Finish Line and win the $1 million; Jet & Cord came in 2nd, and Brent & Caite came in 3rd. Teams expressed their opinions about the final three teams at the Finish Line along with their joys and disappointments about the season and the learning experiences they could draw from the experience.

Reception

edit

Critical response

edit

The Amazing Race 16 received mostly negative reviews. Andy Dehnart of reality blurred called it a "relatively weak season".[23] Michael Hewitt of the Orange County Register wrote that "stupidity and luck ruled, and the game-changing plays came via two lethal U-Turns. As TV in general goes, season 16 was fine entertainment. But as 'The Amazing Race' goes, it was a disappointment."[24] Daniel Fienberg of HitFix wrote that "there were too many dull teams and too many dull tasks and too little rewarding of excellence or punishing of the stupidity that ran amuck all season long. This group of contestants got to see some great locations and do some great stuff, but nothing was hard enough or challenging enough. Even a lame season of 'The Amazing Race' is still better than most of what passes for reality TV. Perhaps, though, this 'Amazing Race' installment has just paled in comparison to a classic All-Star edition of 'Survivor' currently being played out."[25] In 2016, this season was ranked 24th out of the first 27 seasons by the Rob Has a Podcast Amazing Race correspondents.[26] In 2024, Rhenn Taguiam of Game Rant placed this season within the bottom 13 out of 36.[27] Conversely, Luke Dwyer of TV Fanatic called this season a blast, praised the locations and tasks, and said that it "was one of the more entertaining in recent memory and Dan and Jordan's victory was well deserved."[28]
