In a pre-race interview, the two dished on their plans to win-and how they planned to play things out during the race.

"I think that our motto is to have fun, and cash the check," Berning says in the interview.

Berning also talked about she was looking forward to using her experiences as a TMZ employee towards the race-mainly by throwing shade, something she even went on to do in her interview at the other teams with female racers.

"You either like us or you don't because we're very harsh and blunt," she says. "We throw shade for a living, like throwing shade is our game, and that's what pays my rent. So I think that it would be fun to kind of have a shot of blunt honest one on ones, like I can do that. I have absolutely no fear of that."

"Physically, we're not the front-runners, but physical front runners don't always win this show," she added later. "And the other girls are perky, super perky, with curly hair and false eyelashes. They're ready to look good on TV. I'm ready to win a million dollars."

The two also talked about how the high-pressure environment of working at TMZ also had them prepared to face anything that was handed to them during the race.

"I think we work really well under pressure in a very fast-paces environment of celebrity news, so I think that will help us when we're doing our challenges," Sullivan says.

The Amazing Race season 27 premieres Friday, Sept. 25 at 8 p.m. on CBS.
