And in a pre-race interview with CBS, Justin is admitting he is really prepared for the show-which he thinks will help the couple go far in the race.
"I'm more prepared than anybody could be," he says. "The only way to get eliminated is by one of those dumb luck things that I have no control over and I think a lot of the other teams will make the same mistakes that other people do in the past. Like somebody doesn't know how to drive a stik shift, and they're eliminated. And somebody doesn't know how to swim and is going to get eliminated. They just don't prepare."

However his confidence is something that his fiancee is telling him to keep in check during the race, so that other teams don't target them and try to find ways to get them eliminated early.
"I keep telling him, don't look like we know what we're doing," she admits. "We don't want teams to think we're really strong, we want to look average. We want to look weak, we don't want to have a target. We kind of want to float under the radar."
The Amazing Race season 27 premieres Friday, September 25 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
