TAR16 - EP1: "Nana is kickin' your butt (Chile)"--
theschnauzers:
A teammate switch on a roadblock will be a first; I don't know about the other versions of the show, but it will definitely be a first for the mothership.

The writer who wrote a review for episode 1 gave away who was eliminated first, but I think we already knew this. This is what they wrote:

2 R.I. teams still on ‘Amazing Race"
The Rhode Islanders, all four of them, are still in the race.
“The Amazing Race” on CBS started its 16th season Sunday with 11 two-person teams vying to win a race around the world, and win $1 million. And two of those teams are from Rhode Island.
The team of Louis D. Stravato, 47, of Bristol, and Michael Naylor, 45, of Warwick, friends and police officers, are still in the running. And so is the team of Jordan and Dan Pious, ages 22 and 24, a consultant and financial advisor respectively, brothers from Barrington.
Sunday’s show involved all the teams beginning on the outskirts of Los Angles and getting their first travel challenge: to take public transportation and get to LAX Airport and take a plane to Santiago, Chile. There, the teams each received cans of paint, had to visit a particular street, find the partially painted house that matched their paint color and finish the job.
Then the teams had to have one member traverse a 300-foot gorge, shuffling across on cables 120 feet above the ground, hooked to a cable with a safety line.
That’s where one team was eliminated.
Dana and Adrian Davis, 39 and 40 respectively, of Arlington, Texas, were eliminated from the show because Adrian Davis didn’t make it all the way across the gorge, succumbing to fatigue.
Now there are 10 remaining teams. The next episode airs Sunday at 8 p.m. on CBS (Ch. 4 and 12).

No talk about a penalty being given, but if this is the case that another team member takes over, then there must be some kind of penalty given.

Adrian Davis is the person hinted here. See in accordance with Sailing's post

I guess that's why Dana was seen on the wire -- Adrian got too fatigued. And they could've been penalized -- unless they already were in last.

Beauty queen bungles 'Amazing Race' debut
(AP) — LOS ANGELES - Caite Upton is already not following directions on "The Amazing Race."
The former Miss Teen South Carolina, who famously flubbed a 2007 pageant question involving maps, and her boyfriend, Brent Horne, were in the front of the pack on the CBS reality series' 16th season premiere Sunday, but they didn't heed instructions to ride a funicular train and received a 30-minute penalty, dropping them from second to seventh place.
Ultimately, married high school sweethearts Adrian and Dana Davis were the first team eliminated. Husky husband Adrian twice attempted the Roadblock challenge, which required contestants to scale a tight rope, but he tumbled both times, which allowed the 10 other teams to pass them on the race's first leg.
