Well I mean if you wanted this then that's okay.
 * His plot kicks off right from the start in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1. Said plot is with his girlfriend, Lindsay. No, I'm not talking about Lindsay forgetting him. I'm talking about Alejandro wooing Lindsay. This moment is significant character development to Tyler, as it shows how he handles relationship problems. He spends the episode trying to get her to notice him, which leads to his utter humiliation through multiple means – one of which includes Bridgette hitting him with a post. Overall, in this episode, Tyler actually does have a plot and is a significant part of the episode. However, Tyler actually did not put on a poor performance. While he didn't make it into Team Victory, he did come in second place instead of third.
 * Tyler is the main focus of the episode in Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, along with Alejandro and Bridgette. This is the episode where his plot with Lindsay switches to her not remembering him. Tyler is distressed, but along with this he has also got another thing on his mind. Consider Tyler's confessional, in which he complains about being the least talked about contestant on Total Drama ("Even Zeke gets more play than me, and he's always eliminated first!"). This provides an insight into Tyler's personality and his thoughts (such characters would receive a CP edgic for this episode, "Complex Personality"). We see Tyler's insecurities, and he becomes both rootable and relatable in this respect. Tyler spends the entire episode trying to do two things; become noticeable and make Lindsay notice him, the latter having less focus. Tyler's character development is significant in this episode, as we discover that Tyler has the strong fingers he discusses, which actually save his team's lives in the Yukon. Tyler also pulls his sled for his team – meaning his performance in the challenge automatically becomes the most unique (similar to Lindsay and Jo in Heroes vs. Villains).
 * While his role in Broadway, Baby! is not that long, it's quite significant. Let's start with the following exchange: Lindsay: "Ooh, I love being called baby!" Noah: "Make a mental note of that, bro." Tyler: "I don't have a pen." While this exchange comes off as humor and comic relief from two characters intended for comic relief, when one takes a deeper look it gives a new meaning to Lyler. We don't know much about Tyler in Total Drama Island, due to his short time. This one moment alone shows us that Lindsay and Tyler are both ditzy people, which adds a new layer to their relationship. One isn't smarter than the other, they are equal in intelligence (even if Tyler is smarter than Lindsay most of the time). The second moment is the Turtle Pond portion of the New York City challenge. Tyler wins it for his team through Alejandro's advice of "using his head". Even if Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot doesn't win, that's not Tyler's fault. He won a challenge for his team and the fault is Noah's.
 * Tyler's plot with Lindsay continues in Slap Slap Revolution, in which Tyler has had enough of Lindsay's forgetfulness. This moment shows us Tyler's progression as a character when it comes to this storyline; from desperation in Episode 1 to blatant anger and frustration here. It's not static like other "gags" tend to be, rather it's a coherent and well written plotline. Tyler has a big emotional moment in this episode when he goes from agony to ecstasy, when Lindsay finally remembers him during Eine Kleine.
 * By the time Can't Help Falling In Louvre comes around, one would think that all of Tyler's plots are finished; Lindsay remembered him and he proved himself to be a formidable and memorable competitor (I definitely remembered him). But one would be wrong, as now the time has come where Lindsay finally remembers Tyler, and they can finally spend some time together. Every couple has these moments. Duncan and Courtney had it in Basic Straining, Gwen and Trent had it in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, Bridgette and Geoff had it in Haute Camp-ture (and many more episodes as well), which means now it's Lyler's turn. For the first time, the first relationship in Total Drama history gets focus and this is a big moment for Tyler, definitely not a "floater" moment. Furthermore, Tyler also plays a big role in the tiebreaker challenge, when Lindsay chooses him as her model. I won't go off on a tangent about how amazing their exchange in the dressing room was, but the point is it showed that Tyler, still, isn't a pushover to Lindsay like he was before. He lays down the law, even if it's for something minor like what his hair should look like. This is a pretty big contrast to how he was to Lindsay before. Lindsay would kiss Tyler, without even knowing who Tyler is. That's bound to anger a boyfriend, but Tyler has shown significant growth in this department and is done with it. Even so, Tyler doesn't go overboard with his attitude (like Lindsay in Full Metal Drama, Courtney in Total Drama Action and Greece's Pieces onwards, for example) and is still surprisingly calm while still being stern. If you couldn't see the progression in Tyler then you weren't watching at all. And finally, there's Lindsay's elimination. Tyler has to go through the pain of having his girlfriend finally remember him, only to be separated from her as soon as this happens. Despite this, Tyler manages to put a positive spin on the situation by calling Lindsay hot, and showing her off to his friends. That is not a f**kboy move, btw.
 * Newf Kids On the Rock brings us a heartbroken Tyler, a distressed Tyler who misses Lindsay dearly. He even goes as far as to get mad at DJ, believing him to be the reason for Lindsay's departure. This is false, of course. Team Victory's loss was DJ's fault, but Lindsay losing the tiebreaker was her own fault. One can blame this mess-up on Tyler's lack of intelligence, but I think what really happened is that Tyler's sadness causes him to be this way. It shows a side of Tyler's personality that is different from his usual klutzy yet lovable side. He also receives help from Alejandro in this challenge for the first time since Broadway, Baby!. This shows the gradual growth in Alejandro and Tyler's relationship, which will come into play in I See London...
 * Jamaica Me Sweat shows Tyler standing up for himself and his team when he questions Alejandro on why the latter is helping DJ win. It shows that Tyler isn't completely oblivious, and is actually observant to his surroundings. One can compare this moment to Noah in Slap Slap Revolution, when he accuses Alejandro of helping the enemy. Furthermore, Tyler's trusting nature is shown when he listens to Alejandro telling him to trust his instincts during the challenge.
 * Tyler becomes a key factor in beginning one of the biggest plots of Total Drama World Tour; the love triangle plot. Whether you like the love triangle plot or not, you cannot deny the fact that it does play a huge role in the overall plot of both the season and the show. Tyler is one of the main characters here, serving as the catalyst that begins all the chaos. He witnesses Duncan and Gwen's kiss in I See London..., and in the same episode he also forms an alliance with Alejandro in order to vote off Noah. Floaters don't have alliances, and yet Tyler did. Hmm...I wonder why this floater had an alliance! Gee, such a mystery! Continuing on with Tyler's involvement with the love triangle, he is finally forced to reveal the secret towards the end of Greece's Pieces, after talking about how he is bad with secrets. This plays off of Tyler's trusting and loving side; he doesn't like to hide things from people, especially those he likes. He's just a good person in general, and this gets in the way of his performance, especially when a major secret like this comes into play as an obstacle for him. Another thing about Greece's Pieces, Tyler refuses to hit a girl. This shows his immense respect for women, which makes him unique from Duncan's cheating ways and Alejandro using three different girls throughout the season. It shows the heavy contrast between Tyler and the rest of the males, even perverted Cody. Also, he is threatened by Duncan since the latter knows that Tyler knew about the secret. This provides fear for Tyler, rather than making him one-note with his knowing the secret; it provides layers to that aspect.
 * Tyler in the entire episode of The EX-Files is the opposite of a floater. Tyler receives substantial character development in this episode through Alejandro and Courtney. Courtney, fresh from a broken heart, is convinced by Alejandro to flirt with Tyler and make Duncan jealous. Courtney agrees to this, but Tyler isn't really happy with it. Alejandro tells Tyler that Courtney is making passes at him, but Tyler won't have it. He outright says "I could never do that to my Lindsay". This is a true GENTLEMAN. This one moment alone makes him better than 90% of all teenage boys, resisting a girl who is considered VERY attractive in the Total Drama universe. Tyler becomes one of the most unique and focused-on characters in this episode, with Courtney repeatedly flirting with him and Tyler refusing her affection. This episode actually makes Tyler a winner contender, due to the morals he shares about loyalty. However, he is voted off in the end due to Duncan's influence.

I think you are absolutely wrong, TDFanatic. If anything, Tyler was eliminated too early in Total Drama World Tour.
