Tyler Oakley has proved through his online medium that he is great at interviews and creating entertaining material. However, reality TV was outside of his normal element. Most of Oakley's vlogs are humor based. Even when he talks about a serious subject, he approaches it in a humorous light. Catfish didn't allow him this luxury. Throughout the episode, you could tell that Tyler was unsure of what to do or say. Seeing someone deal with an emotional experience left him awkwardly covering his mouth.
The moments that Tyler did shine was when it came to making predictions and making entertaining commentary. I could see Tyler do a TV show in the future, but I would imagine him taking a route similar to Grace Hellbig. Celebrity gossip and pop culture commentary are his forte, and he should stick to that.
