Duncan and Tyler

This article focuses on the Interactions between Duncan and Tyler.

Overview
Despite past instances where the two have not got on very well, Duncan and Tyler get on more and respect each other's playing styles. In Total Drama Returns to the Island, despite being on opposite teams, Duncan and Tyler have grown to become very good friends. In All Aboard the Cuckoo Train, Duncan and Tyler, along with Sky, become closer with each other, forming a Final 5 alliance. However, Duncan starts getting jealous of Tyler being around Sky so much, causing a little bit of conflict. Duncan and Tyler see past this though, as their alliance manages to make both reach the Final 4.

In Total Drama Wild West, since Noah leads his alliance with Tyler, he convinces Tyler to vote for Duncan in the first episode of the season. Tyler does not own up to his own mistakes and blames the loss of Duncan, which angers Duncan a lot. Duncan chooses to devise a new tactic when he realizes that Tyler will do anything to gain his approval, so Duncan decides to slowly give Tyler his trust back enough to give back hope, but little enough so that he can still manipulate Tyler easily. This is short lived due to Tyler's early elimination, although it's revealed that Duncan betrayed Tyler and voted him off. When Duncan realizes it's Noah's fault that Tyler voted him, Duncan realizes that Tyler was talking the truth that it was Noah who made him vote him off. The two make up, and Tyler is seen rooting for Duncan and helping him out during the season, even being conflicted in the finale of whether to root for him or Scott.
