Tahlia A. Farley, née Brookins was a contestant on cycle 12 of ANTM in 2009. She was the sixth girl eliminated and placed eighth.
ANTM[]
Tahlia was most known for being a burn survivor. She explained that when she was a baby, her mother left her on the kitchen counter, and pulled a cord from a coffee maker onto her. She was the fifth girl called to the final cast.
In episode two, she was upset at the first runway challenge because the other girls were wearing dresses while her scars had to be covered up with pants and a jacket.
In episode five, at the drag queen posing challenge, Tahlia was booed off stage by the audience, shattering her confidence. She told the girls that she considered leaving the competition. Later, she received the first call-out for the Ellis Island immigrant photoshoot. When Sandra was saved over Kortnie, Celia walked up to Tyra and threw Tahlia under the bus.
In episode seven, she was criticized at the acting teach for holding back too much. Later at panel, the judges thought she looked older than she was. She was in the bottom two with Allison, and eliminated for her low self-esteem.
