Tyler is a sports fan who loves anything physical. Unfortunately, he is extremely uncoordinated, constantly putting himself and others at risk. Tyler can also be very dim at times, such as in Broadway, Baby! when Noah tells him to make a mental note of something, and Tyler says he doesn't have a pen. Despite his shortcomings, he is extremely 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 isn't as physical a person as he pretends to be.
