As the show progressed, Tyler found a connection with one of the female singles, Kay, with whom he went on multiple dates. Tayler was visibly upset upon seeing their chemistry play out at the bonfire and decided to break up with Tyler before leaving the show.
In episode 10, Tayler used her decision segment with Tyler to call him out and criticize his actions. She accused him of going back on his word and breaking the promises he made to her before entering the show. She felt that he had played both sides and expressed that his "jokey attitude" throughout the show was "hurtful and extremely disrespectful" to their relationship.
"You played me, and more importantly, you played yourself. The nonchalant, jokey attitude that you upheld throughout this experience is hurtful and extremely disrespectful to the relationship that we both worked so hard to build," she said.

"I definitely felt clowned, and I feel like now I can sit here with a clear head. And I definitely was tempted in this process. You know, mainly, I was tempted to pursue my value, but I was tempted to pursue a lot of new ideas, new growth, a lot of humility, and I feel like I've successfully done that," he continued.

"I am walking away from not feeling wanted or heard or seen. I am walking into a path that I can continue getting to know my authentic self and building on these new relationships and connections that I've built here. And so I don't feel like I'm really losing anything," Tayler shared in her confessional before leaving.
