November 22, 2004 -- Candida Tolentino, resident of both Los Angeles and Orange Counties, hails as one of 16 fearless contestants ready to embark upon a global challenge with Sir Richard Branson on The Fox reality show: The Rebel Billionaire, Branson's Quest for the Best. Candida is owner of Earth Cafiving Foods, a packaged foods company that sells vegan raw desserts made entirely from uncooked ingredients. The company magically transforms classic favorites such as cheesecakes, carob mouse & pumpkin spice pies into dairy free, refined sugarless, guilt-free treasures. They are sold at various restaurants, and health food stores, including popular outlets such as Whole Foods Market.

Candida is daughter of New Jerseys first African American female judge, and first African American Head of Orthopedics for Christ Hospital, Jersey City, N.J. With such a strong background, she has had a solid foundation for success from an early age. Candida plans to apply the skills and confidence she has acquired from her youth and from running her own company to this complicated game of chance, risk, business acumen, and survival of the fittest.

A clear stand out of the show, Candida is featured heavily in episodes I and II, with story lines evoking controversy, sympathy, and gusto- as in that famous shot of her falling 350 feet straight into an awaiting African gorge. Next weeks episode III takes us inside a South African village & game reserve, for an extremely special challenge & journey. Tune in to watch her & 15 other risk-taking entrepreneurs vie for a position as president of all of Virgin Global, and a grand prize of one million dollars. Tuesdays 8p.m. on Fox.
