Talicia lived across the country from her brother at the time of the Race, working as an assistant to a sports agent in Los Angeles. She looked forward to spending time with her younger brother and putting her "street smarts" to use while racing. While Talicia admits she and her brother are very much alike, she calls herself the "worker ant" while Tramel is the grasshopper "who comes to steal the food, the information, and the research." Although disappointed to be eliminated early on, Talicia was just happy they weren't out first.
