Huger
Than Huge Los Angeles. Santiago. Puerto Varas. Bariloche. Frankfurt. Wargemoulin-Hurlus. Epernay. Seychelles. George Town. Singapore. Shanghai. Eleven cities. Eleven legs. Now the journey is about to end for cowboys Jet & Cord McCoy, dating models Brent Horne & Caite Upton, and brothers Dan & Jordan Pious. But for one, the trip home will be worth $1 million. Who will win the 16th Race? PIT STOP The final leg begins with Brent, Caite, and.... this;
The three teams make their way to the airport. The counter... opens at 10:45. So they have a bit. Dan puts his backpack behind Brent & Caite for second in line... in front of Jet & Cord. Once they wake up... Woops. "If they wanna drop the gloves, I can drop the gloves." Jordan, he's right behind you. Don't talk to the camera like he's not there! On the plane, Dan & Jordan are upgraded via oversell to first class. How does THAT happen, I ask you. SAN FRANCISCO, USA ... and JorDan are the first off the plane, heading to the presidio, where they find.
The answer... Coit Tower atop Telegraph Hill. JorDan gets help from a local bike rider, while the other teams look for the presidio. Jet & Cord get the riddle from a book they bought while in Shanghai. That's playing smart. Brent & Caite... are lost. JorDan make it to the tower and find...
Dan takes the climb... as does Cord. Brent & Caite finally find the battery, as Dan gets his clue...
JorDan finds Yoda... and Lord Vader... and a few stormtroopers.... and this clue.
The brothers are being led to the studio via stormtrooper detail, while Jet gets a clue from a tower. At Lucasfilm, Dan directs, while Jordan wears a suit to basically play a game of "Masters of the Maze" done all 21st Century-like. The cowboys catch up... and play with Jordan's head for a while before getting started with their maze. Brent & Caite... start climbing. JorDan are the first to reach the goal and a message... doesn't want to slow down, though.
Looks like they're headed for the Tonga Room in the Fairmont Hotel! The cabbie knows where that is. And Caite... can't tell her left from her right. JorDan reach the Tonga Room and find instructions to find a trunk and take what's inside to their next destination. The trunk directs them to... GREAT AMERICAN MUSIC HALL! And the happy non-local doesn't help them one bit. They do find some help, but it leads them to a 10-15 minute walk. The other teams head to the Tonga Room... but Brent & Caite forget their travel pack! Meanwhile, JorDan finally get to the music hall and listen to the Mother Hips.
Trivia: On the posters representing non-elimination legs is Phil's opening spiel from season one: "NON ELIMINATION - It is the most daring competition ever attempted. Eleven 2-person teams - Couples bound by friendship, love or family - will race around the world. They have no idea where they're going, what dangers they may encounter, or how the journey will affect their lives. Most of the teams will be eliminated, but the team that reaches the finish line first will win a cash prize of one million dollars. This is a race like no other in history. This is THE AMAZING RACE" So for those playing the home game, it's... - Dana & Adrian (High School
Sweethearts)
Dan be nimble! Jordan be quick! You want a million bucks? GO TO CANDLESTICK! (Park, that is.) Jet & Cord are at the Music Hall, but is it too late? JorDan can't find a taxi! So Jet & Cord have a shot to catch up. This is the run that puts the Amazing... in "Amazing Race". And waiting for the winner... the parade of the losers as mentioned above. And Phil... First out of the giant 49ers helmet... JORDAN AND DAN! Mr. Keoghan, it is yours! "Twenty-three days, five continents, 40,000 miles. Dan & Jordan, you have won the $1 million, and YOU ARE THE OFFICIAL WINNERS OF THE AMAZING RACE! Congratulations!" Just the proof that dreams do come true for fans of game shows. All you need is the courage to go for it. Coming in second... It's JET & CORD! And in third, it's Brent & Caite... and suffice it to say with Carol & Brandy present, they do not exit the Race gracefully. But these three teams can look the world in the face and say "They finished the Amazing Race." Group montage... wave to the camera... fade to black... and look forward to the 17th running coming this fall... Until then... out that door is the world. Be careful... and we'll see you on Race Day.
