The Amazing Race 16 is the sixteenth installment of the reality television show, The Amazing Race. It premiered on February 14, 2010.
Production[]
Applications were originally due on July 10, 2009, but the deadline was extended. Semi-finalist interviews were held in August 2009 and the final casting interviews took place in Los Angeles in September and October 2009.
Filming began on November 28, 2009 and ended on December 20, 2009. This season traveled a total of 40,000 miles (64,000 km) across 9 countries and five continents. For the third time, teams had to use public transportation to make their way from the Starting Line to the airport as in the first and sixth seasons rather than driving to a marked vehicle to the nearest airport.
Reports that the Race was filmed at a Pit Stop in Puerto Varas, Chile on December 2, 2009.[1] Filming of the show also was reported in Bariloche, Argentina, and Germany.[2] Production crews were also taken place in Singapore, particularly in the Bugis area and the Singapore Flyer.[3]
Phil Keoghan acknowledged the massive earthquake in Chile that took place on February 27, 2010 during the special opening in the third episode.[4]
