Though they are hopefully going to find love with the people they were matched with for season 26 of The Amazing Race, at least one of the new cast members who was set up on a blind date has her eye on the show's ultimate prize.

Aly and Steve Talk Winning Strategy

Jenny Wu, a lawyer and blogger who was matched up fellow lawyer Jelani Roy for the season, admits in a pre-race interview that it's important her partner exhibit certain qualities because then they would work better together-and could have a much better shot at winning the overall $1 million prize.

"I'm very optimistic, and I am just hoping that he is a strong team player, that he is capable, that he is physically strong, he's intelligent, and together we can have an amazing working relationship, and just rock the show and win that million dollars together," she said.

However, though she still wants to try her hardest to win the $1 million, she is also focused on the fact that she's going on a pretty extreme blind date-and the admitted newly divorced racer does have certain things she's looking for when it comes to a man-and there are also qualities she really hopes are nowhere present.

"In a partner, somebody who is super, super intelligent, I mean I want to be impressed by his brain size, that's what I care about," she said. "And also someone who's funny, because you know what, we're going to be traveling together, he's going to be the person that's with me 24/7, so let's instill a little bit of humor into all of this."

"A deal breaker for me would be someone who is not open-minded, who is very much stuck in his ways, and not able to kind of open himself up to new experience or other ideas," she added. "I want someone who is more fluid in that sense and who is open to other possibilities, so that I think we can work much better if he is like that."
