:tu Banzai!!
And thak you kiki!!
That would be the answer to why we seem to have no detour...
From wiki: TAR16
--- Quote ---Leg 10 (Singapore → China)
In the first of two Roadblocks in this Leg of the Race, one team member had to make 1 kg (2.2 lb) of lamian noodles. Singapore (Singapore Changi Airport) to Shanghai, China )
In the first Roadblock on this leg, one team member had to follow a demonstration by a local noodlemaker to make 1 kg (2.2 lb) of la mian noodles. When they were done, He Pingping, the world's shortest man, gave them their next clue. The second Roadblock on this leg required the team member who sat out the first Roadblock to put together a 96-piece puzzle and then give the puzzle to a group of fans in the bleachers. If the puzzle was put together correctly, the other side of the puzzle would give a seat number where the team would find their next clue.

I am thinking the elephant task may be a route info/speed bump, as TAR16 ep. 10 had the fashion route info.
Also, it was probably easier for production to make 2 Roadblocks instead of a Detour and a Roadblock on short notice.
(2 main tasks compared to 3...)

If that's the case my speculation is that the elephant ride is a kind of active route marker, which TPTB seems to love this season.

kiki,
AR16 is not even close to "the only other time we have had 2 Roadblocks in 1 leg". This should happen every time when there is a double leg and sometimes even when that is not so. Some examples are:
AR6 ep. 6 Berlin (hot rocket bungee) and Budapest (eat spicy soup at Gundel Restaurant)
AR18 ep. 12 Rickenbacker Marina move container into place) and Key Largo Jules Undersea Lodge ("treasure hunt")
AR7 ep. 8 Lucknow (search 600 metal boxes) and Jodhpur (both in cart, one to direct a camel)
AR8 ep. 10 Utah (herd cattle) and Wyoming (choose colored flag and golf cart, search for golf balls of same color)
AR8 ep. 11 Montreal (complete a catch on flying trapeze) and state park in Lewiston NY (place country shapes into correct position for 71 piece North/Central America jiqsaw puzzle)
Prophet:
I wouldn't count a Double Length Leg as a Double Roadblock, because a true Double Roadblock does not allow the performer of the previous Roadblock perform the second one, but whatever.

Prophet,
The ONLY leg that I know of which restricted who could do the second ROADBLOCK in a 2-ROADBLOCK leg was AR18. I guess the question of what qualifies as multiple ROADBLOCKS in a single leg is definitional. There does not have to be only one valid perspective.
