A favorite to win, Tyler became the ringleader of the Level Six alliance early on and was able to use his strategic mind and social charm to earn everyone's trust and control several evictions. He was close with Level Six members Angela Rummans and Kaycee Clark and formed a relationship with the former later in the season. Despite being nominated in week 6, he was removed from the block by Angela. He managed to form final 2 deals with everyone in Level Six. He won 3 HoH's and 3 PoV's, making him the eighth male contestant to win six competitions. When Kaycee won the final HoH, she brought Tyler to the final 2. Despite his strong strategic game, Kaycee's dominance in the competitions won her the game by a 5-4 vote, leaving Tyler as the runner up.
Age: 23 Hometown: Rossford, OH Current city: Hilton Head, SC Occupation: Lifeguard Three adjectives that describe you: Resilient, charismatic, and questionable. Favorite activities: Working out, going to the beach, and surfing. What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
Getting people to believe anything I say. When I'm lying, people think I'm telling the truth, but when I'm telling the truth, people think I'm lying. Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most? Victor Arroyo for his resilience, Zach Rance because he's hilarious, and Dan Gheesling for being a savage. Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
Get in tight with someone opposite of me, divide the house with them on one side and me on the other, get intel from their side from them while making sure they keep me safe by making them feel like I'm keeping them safe. Then, cut them in Final 4 when the time is right and take credit for the whole thing. My life's motto is...
Do whatever the hell you want. What would you take into the house and why?
My Spotify playlist to get me hyped for any situation.
A Pre-workout supplement.
An unlimited amount of quinoa.

currently living with his girlfriend, Angela Rummans, who he met in the house. Three adjectives that describe you: Resilient, laid back, and positive. Favorite Activities: Traveling, beachin' it, exercise, and hanging out with my girlfriend, Angela. Why do you want to play Big Brother again?
To help Angela open her plant-based restaurant. What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
Being away from Angela. We haven't spent more than five days apart since we met. Also,
getting anyone to believe a word that comes out of my mouth. Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most and why?
Angela Rummans because she was an ice queen on the outside but had a heart of gold on the
inside. What is your strategy for winning the game?
That is a great question. How does this strategy differ from the last time you played?
I can't make everyone think I'm just a dumb surfer dude this time around. First off, I don't surf but also because everyone most likely knows I did pretty well on Season 20. Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show?
I feel much more humbled now. Big Brother 20 changed my life 100 percent for the better in
many ways and I couldn't be more grateful. I just need to try not to screw it up this time! My life's motto is…
"Happiness over everything." What would you take into the house and why?
-Angela to keep me sane.
-Angela's vegan cooking to keep me from starving.
-Angela's plant-based cookbook since I haven't seen it completed yet. Fun facts about yourself:
-I am a retired beach lifeguard.
-Angela and I own and operate a jewelry company called Naut & Chain.
-I'm still sweet at bowling.
-I like animals more than people. I went vegan with Angela at the start of 2020 and haven't looked back.
-I made a bet with my friend that I wouldn't cut my hair for five years.[4]
