Tyler is a sports fan who loves anything physical. Unfortunately, he is uncoordinated, constantly putting himself and others at risk. Tyler can also be very dim-witted at times, such as in Broadway, Baby! when Noah tells him to make a mental note of something, and Tyler says he does not have a pen. Despite his shortcomings, he is determined, well-meaning, and even has abnormally strong fingers, which have aided him on several occasions. While he tries to present a strong masculine image of himself as a stereotypical jock, Tyler is actually fairly emotional and sensitive. In Phobia Factor, he is devastated at his elimination to the point where he cries, is capable of producing a surprisingly effeminate scream, and is not as physical a person as he pretends to be, as he was extremely hesitant to fight both Courtney and Justin when the opportunities presented themselves. Along with being popular with his peers back home, Tyler expresses deep feelings for his girlfriend, Lindsay.
Talks in upbeat bursts with big confidence, then slips into shaky sincerity; emotive and easily flustered.
