This article focuses on the interactions between Lindsay and Tyler.

Overview[]

Hugetxlimage

Lindsay and Tyler kissing.

Tyler and Lindsay first met on Total Drama Island, catching each other's eyes from the very first episode, when Tyler tries to impress Lindsay by saying he could have saved her from a cockroach, which she had been scared by earlier. Their relationship blooms quickly after that, them being shown making out in the episode Not Quite Famous, after Tyler impresses her with his yo-yo skills. Despite being on different teams, Lindsay on the Screaming Gophers, and Tyler on the Killer Bass, they become the first couple to be formed on the show, as well as the first to be separated, with Tyler's elimination in Phobia Factor. After Lindsay's elimination many episodes later, the two are reunited, only for her to quickly forget what he looks like, a running joke in the series from now on.

In Total Drama Action, they do not interact much, due to Tyler not being in the competition. Throughout the season, Lindsay constantly mentions Tyler, often getting his name wrong and suggesting that he help out in challenges. Each time, someone else then has to remind her that he's not in the competition anymore. She eventually ends up getting the message, although it takes a good majority of her time on Total Drama Action to fully understand his absence.

In Total Drama World Tour, Lindsay still has a hard time even remembering who Tyler is, an unforeseen side effect of constantly being told in the last season that Tyler wasn't there. Lindsay then keeps on forgetting Tyler's name and thinking that he is someone else, usually Noah. Despite this, Lindsay knows she has a boyfriend, but thinks that he is not coming back. However, in the episode Slap Slap Revolution, she finally remembers him, allowing their relationship to continue. This doesn't last long though, as Lindsay is eliminated two episodes later in Can't Help Falling in Louvre. Tyler still thinks about Lindsay after she is eliminated, and remains very loyal to her, despite the flirting of other characters, such as Courtney. The two of them are eventually reunited once more, and this time, Lindsay still remembers him, and they continue their relationship off-screen.

Total Drama Island[]

Not So Happy Campers—Part 1[]

TDI01 Tyler tells Lindsay he can kill cockroaches for her

Lindsay and Tyler's first interaction.

Tyler and Lindsay first meet when Lindsay starts screaming in fear of a cockroach in her cabin, which Duncan kills with a hatchet. Tyler leans over and tells her to let him know if she ever sees another cockroach again, adding that he could've done what Duncan did. This phrase is used frequently throughout the rest of the series as Tyler wants Lindsay to like him more than she already does. Lindsay smiles and makes her big puppy dog eyes in response, to which Duncan responds by rolling his eyes and muttering that girls like Lindsay "always go for the jocks".

Not So Happy Campers—Part 2[]

NO!

Lindsay's reaction to Courtney's suggestion to vote Tyler out.

When Courtney suggests voting Tyler out, after the Killer Bass lose the first challenge, Lindsay overhears this from the Screaming Gophers table and stands up to scream in protest of the suggestion. The Gophers stare at Lindsay in confusion, so she hastily covers up her emotional outburst by explaining that it is because there is no salt at the table. Tyler smiles quickly when Lindsay objects, but his smile fades when she covers up, most likely to hide her crush on him.

The Big Sleep[]

Heather initiates the first Total Drama Island alliance and recruits Lindsay and Beth into the alliance. Lindsay turns in Tyler's direction after being told about the process (which she does not pay attention to) and confides to her new allies that she thinks Tyler is really cute. Heather then forbids her to date him, saying that it is against the alliance rules to get involved with someone from the opposing team. Lindsay is left alone and looks sad. Tyler then looks over at her and waves with a smile. Lindsay smiles back, and later in the confessional, explains that although Heather said she couldn't date him, she never said she couldn't like him.

Dodgebrawl[]

Ball18

Heather interrupts Lindsay and Tyler's moment together.

When Lindsay comes out of the dodgeball game and walks back to the benches, Tyler waves at her, and she waves back until it catches the attention of Heather, who intentionally throws a ball at Tyler. Later, Tyler accidentally hits Lindsay in the face with a dodgeball. When he notices, he screams and runs to help her up. When she recovers, he tells her that she still looks great (even though her face is badly bruised) and then asks Lindsay if she wants to go for a walk. She agrees, and the two disappear for the rest of the challenge.

When Heather comes to find them later, she catches them under the dock because of Lindsay's giggling. Tyler had a canoe thrown at him to interrupt their moment, and the two were separated by their bossy leaders for the rest of the episode. Since then, they had been meeting in secret because Heather didn't want Lindsay to see Tyler and Courtney didn't want Tyler to see Lindsay. At this point, both teams were afraid that Tyler and Lindsay would reveal each other's weaknesses and give the other team the upper hand. Lindsay would often abandon her alliance duties to be with Tyler, despite Heather's objections.

Not Quite Famous[]

Lyler making out

Lindsay and Tyler making out while being tied up by Tyler's yo-yo.

Lindsay blows Tyler a kiss across the bleachers. Tyler catches it and winks at her. Lindsay smiles and points lovingly at him, but notices that Heather is staring at her, so she nervously puts her hands behind her back. Lindsay is assigned to watch Gwen to make sure she she's not up to something. Lindsay quickly gets bored with her task, and while watching with her binoculars, she sees Tyler, being tied up by a yo-yo. She pays special attention to his butt, seeing it as the only interesting thing there.

Eventually, Lindsay chases Tyler and they somehow end up tied up together and making out in the bathroom where Heather and Courtney aren't looking. Later that day, Bridgette tries to do handstands for twenty minutes, but her stomach gets upset and she starts throwing up everywhere. She then slips and lands in Tyler's arms. Lindsay runs in from the side and yells at Bridgette for "puke on her own boyfriend," obviously jealous of the scene, even though there were no romantic implications whatsoever between Bridgette and Tyler. Despite being caught in the act by Heather, Lindsay quickly corrects her earlier statement by claiming that she never even said the word "boyfriend."

When Lindsay is voted off the island and goes to Playa Des Losers, they continue their relationship again. Tyler is seen with Lindsay sitting on his lap at the beginning of the episode, while they are being interviewed by Chris. Lindsay talks about how she's happy to be with Tyler again. They kiss, though she's still confused as to which camper is Tyler. She later asks many people, including Eva, an eskimo, and even DJ's bunny, if they were Tyler. Later, when the eliminated campers are sitting together by the pool to vote off someone, they are seen holding hands.

Later, Tyler follows Lindsay to the pyramid, but starts to regret not going with the others, and going under the pyramid. Lindsay tells Tyler that Alejandro's doing alright and looks like a cute mountain goat. Tyler tries to impress her, saying he can be a goat, but Alejandro helps Lindsay and Bridgette get to the top of the pyramid.

Tyler doesn't like the hairstyles she gives him, telling her about what his hockey team will do once they see him. Lindsay then moves on to wardrobe and shows Tyler a drawing of a little girl with red dress carrying some balloons, asking if it is "manly" enough for him. Tyler doesn't look too happy about modeling, but Lindsay nevertheless cheers enthusiastically for him. When Lindsay's design loses, Tyler goes to bid farewell to her, and reassures her that the judges wouldn't know fashion if it smacked them in the head, to which Lindsay compliments him back, calling him "nice, even if he's a bad walker". Tyler boasts how at least his hockey team saw him with a "cute girlfriend for twenty minutes." Lindsay then asks for one quick kiss before she goes, but Chris stops them and says that they are running out of time.

TylerLindsay (Camp TV)

Lindsay and Tyler in Camp TV.

During the show's beta phase, when it was still called Camp TV, Lindsay and Tyler were both characters still present at this stage. While Lindsay had very few physical changes between then and the present, Tyler's design got a complete overhaul. Nonetheless, they were both still depicted as being in a steady relationship, meaning it is the only relationship that remained the same in both Camp TV and Total Drama Island. Their relationship is like Bridgette and Geoff's, as they are seen making out several times in the promotional trailer.

  • Tyler seems to be more loyal in this relationship than Lindsay, as Tyler was seen rejecting Courtney when she was flirting with him in The EX-Files, while Lindsay was seen flirting with other guys such as Justin, Alejandro, and Trent likely due to having forgotten about Tyler at the moment, due to her lack of intelligence, or because she believed that he was not in the competition at that time.
