They won't be on a blind date on the new season of The Amazing Race, and being together for a long period of time could be a big advantage for couple Lebya Simpson and CJ Harris on the show's 26th season.

Kurt 'More Nervous' About Meeting His Blind Date

In a pre-race interview with CBS, the couple reveals they've been together for 10 years, but have known one another for their entire lives. And knowing one another as long as they have could be their advantage-because they know their strengths and weaknesses and are total opposites.

"I know I have the goods to win this because I am very good under pressure," Harris says in the interview. "I don't get nervous and get anxious and lose my cool. Now, I can't speak for everybody everywhere."

"Okay, sometimes I tend to go off on a fly, but we're total, total opposites," Simpson adds. "But I think that's what makes us yin and yang, we fit together perfectly. He's straight by the rule book, I wanna do everything right."

"I think things through," Harris interrupts. "She just acts."

However, despite being total opposites, the two may have another advantage-Lebya's motivation to win is fueled by something she's wanted from CJ for a long time.

"I'm getting a ring, we're getting married," she says in the clip.

"With a million dollars you can buy a lot of rings," CJ adds.

The Amazing Race season 26 premieres Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 9:30 p.m. on CBS.
