Tyler is a contestant from *Survivor: Worlds Apart* and *Survivor: Cambodia*.

## Survivor: Worlds Apart

Tyler originally competed in *Survivor: Worlds Apart* on the yellow Masaya tribe. The tribe changed from being strong to weak throughout their time together, losing two of the first four immunity challenges. At the first vote, he was successful in voting with Lucy, Rick and Derrick for Alexys. At the second vote, he, Lucy and Derrick sent home Alina.

At the tribe dissolve, Tyler was switched to the blue Escameca tribe along with original tribe members Lucy and Rick. They won the first immunity challenge, but lost the second. When they went to tribal council, Tyler and Lucy voted for Rick. However, the rest of the tribe with the help of Rick voted out Tyler.

## Survivor: Cambodia

After having his allies turn on him, Tyler returned for *Survivor: Cambodia* and was originally placed on the pink Bayon tribe. He formed a Final Three deal early on with Derrick and Pierre. When the tribe lost the first immunity challenge, the three and Angus formed the Bayon Alliance in order to vote for Erin. However, the women had the numbers and Alexander was voted out. Derrick and Tyler, who had a pre-existing relationship from their first season, decided to create bonds with more people outside their alliance in order to maintain a majority. When Bayon lost the following two immunity challenges, the boys blindsided Angus and Harry Amelia because they were planning on overthrowing the Bayon Alliance.

At the tribe expansion, Tyler remained on Bayon with original members Pierre, Jefra and Louise. The tribe was physically fit enough to not have to go to tribal council together. When the tribes dissolved, Tyler once again remained on Bayon with Louise. When they went to tribal, the pair and Adam voted for Miles but Blake was voted out instead. At this point, Tyler made the merge and was reunited with his alliance of Derrick, Pierre and now Adam from the post-dissolve Bayon. At the first tribal council, they voted for Parvati, but the majority sent home Adam. Now in a minority, the boys just tried to not be the targets. They were unsuccessful in voting with the majority at the next tribal councils, and Carrie, Louise, Parvati and Jefra were voted out.

The majority tribe then lost their power and began to move away from each other. Tyler voted with Derrick, Pierre, Ellody and Kitty in voting out Lacey. The boys voted with Miles and Kelley for Ellody at the next vote. However, she used a Hidden Immunity Idol and Miles was voted out instead. The three boys, now in the majority brought along Kelley in voting out Kitty before blindsiding her. At the Final Four, Ellody was the biggest threat left and the fear was that she would win the final immunity challenge and win the game. However, this was not the case and she became the final member of the jury. True to their word, the boys made the Final Three. The jury respected the boys loyalty throughout the game and that they never turned on each other. Tyler's physical strength in challenges was respected, along with his ability to make social bonds. In the end, he was given the title of Runner-Up, earning four of ten jury votes from Ellody, Kitty, Lacey and Miles.
