The Amazing Race 16 is the sixteenth season of the American reality competition show The Amazing Race. Hosted by Phil Keoghan, it featured eleven teams of two, each with a pre-existing relationship, competing in a race around the world in order to win US$1,000,000. This season visited five continents and nine countries and traveled over 40,000 miles (64,000 km). Starting in Los Angeles, racers traveled through Chile, Argentina, Germany, France, the Seychelles, Malaysia, Singapore, and China before finishing in San Francisco. This season also saw the return of the Intersection. The season premiered on CBS on Sunday, February 14, 2010, and the finale aired on May 9, 2010. In Canada, the show premiered on the A-Channel instead of CTV due to the 2010 Winter Olympics, but it returned to CTV after the Winter Olympics concluded.[1]
Brothers Dan and Jordan Pious were the winners of this season, while cowboy brothers Jet McCoy and Cord McCoy finished in second place, and models Brent Horne and Caite Upton finished in third place.
