Survivor: The Australian Outback
Alicia proved an asset to her tribe because she was physically fit, and was not targeted early on in the game. After her tribe, Kucha, lost the first immunity challenge, she was approached both by Debb and Jeff who were trying to get each other voted off. Alicia was more receptive to Jeff, and participated in the unanimous vote off of Debb.

On Day 4, Alicia and her tribe were annoyed that Michael put rice on the fire without asking, thinking he did it just because he was hungry. Alicia believed there to be an overall theme to Michael that he thought things revolved around him, including when he started to catch fish for the tribe and his use of their only knife to hunt for pigs.

Calaway had a memorable argument with Kimmi Kappenberg, because of the latter's vegetarianism (as Kimmi wanted to regulate the consummption of the chickens they had won after a Reward Challenge), leading to the show's most iconic conflicts.

She eventually made to the merge, and was eliminated for being a physical threat by the dominant Ogakor alliance.

Post-Survivor
In 2002, Calaway hosted World's Strongest Man and World's Strongest Woman on ESPN, hosted a special on Antarctica in April for Outdoor Life Network, does public speaking, and is a health/fitness reporter for Fox 10:00 PM newscast.
