During a hockey game Tyler and his team, the Elks were defending their goal from the other team the Falcons, when one Falcon hit the puck into the goal Tyler defended it by allowing the puck to hit his head hard then it bounces all the way into the Falcons' goal. Then the sports announcer started talking on the microphone.
Announcer: ladies and gentlemen the Elks win
The team and crowd cheers while lifting an unconscious Tyler in the air. When they get to the locker room Tyler removes his helmet putting an ice pack on his head, the coach walks in wanting to congratulate the team.
Coach: great game boys and especially you Tyler I've never seen anyone take a hockey puck to the head while also winning a goal
Tyler: thanks coach (the team starts patting him on the back)
Coach: alright boys shower up and get outta here I've got playboys to read
Tyler leaves all confident like until he hears his teammates Aberman and Fulton talking.
Aberman: you know Tyler might be able to take a lot of hits, but the guy isn't really that skilled
Fulton: yeah, he's determined and works harder than any of us but he's pretty clumsy
Aberman: you wanna hit Goldberg's house for some nachos
Fulton: yeah, I would
When they leave Tyler feels empty inside.
While back home Tyler lies on the couch with his half his face digging into the couch cousin and another half just starring at the TV, hear his teammates saying he's not good made him feel empty inside. Soon he changes the channel in which it shows Chris Mclean.
Chris: are you a teenager that wants to be famous or stinking rich then compete on our new show TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND! Send an audition tape to Entertainment Productions before May 15th for chance to compete on our show and become a millionaire
Tyler lifts his head up as if he has an idea.
The next day he decided to prove that he was a true athlete he would win the prize money on Total Drama island. So, he grabbed a video camera and started recording himself to send an audition tape.
(Audition)
Tyler: what you need on this show is a real athlete, and I'm your man yeah baby catch this action
He runs backwards holding a football then trips over a duffle bag. He then jumps of a diving board and bellyflops into the swimming pool but hits the water hard. He then jumps up to slam dunk a basketball into a hoop but the ball bounces back on him making him hit the floor hard, then the ball lands straight on his head.
(End of Audition)
Later he went down to a mailbox to deliver the tape however he was in serious pain he even had a bandage around his arm, soon though he dropped off the tape into the box however he accidentally slammed the mailbox's door hard where his fingers where and screamed out in pain.
Tyler: OWWWWW!
