Taylor Sico-McNulty on Endurance: High Sierras

Something about Taylor made me want to root for her more than anybody else on the show. She was indeed the girl who cried a lot, to the point where both the other contestants and some of the audience were put off by it. It translated to a less than stellar social game, which put the Blue Team through quite a lot (including getting her partner switched!)

Despite the obvious flaws, Taylor still holds her own as a strong competitor.

She won two different missions with two different partners, showing how well she could work throughout it all. She also had a spindly tongue and a good sense of banter, which surprised me in how she can interject some quotes from time to time! And with Connor, Taylor managed the impossible on endurance--surviving three trips to the Temple of Fate.

Overall, Taylor (especially in contrast with Bryanah from season 3) is more anti-heroic, as she had a more abrasive personality and wanted to fit in with the main clique. Nevertheless, she was resilient and delivered when the competition demanded it, which against the popular group this season, has to mean a lot.

And she made it to the final three when nobody believed she would, on a team which took all the blows and kept on going.

Say hello to the competitors of Karma Season 1!

From the producers who created Endurance, Karma is a adventure competition for teenagers where competitors have to solve puzzles and overcome physical challenges--with the laws of karma setting the rules.

I was inspired to do a gif set after seeing Taylor grab for Connor's hand while J.D was discussing how it takes teamwork and trust to complete the mission. That was a good trick of the editing.
