Monique Pryor and Shawne Morgan are a team of Moms/Attorneys on The Amazing Race 16.

Although placing well in the first two legs, Monique & Shawne ran into trouble on the third leg when Shawne struggled with the Roadblock, dropping them to last place. The moms were still within striking distance of Brent & Caite and Louie & Michael at the Detour, but Monique & Shawne again struggled with their chosen task. The time they wasted before switching Detours sealed their fate, resulting in a 9th place finish.
