Derek Taylor

Derek, a character in the America's Most Eligible series, is one of the contestants of America's Most Eligible. He is also a potential love interest. He made his first appearance in Chapter 1.

Appearance
His casual outfit consists of a white plaid shirt and blue jeans. He wears a watch on his left wrist.

Personality
He’s nice and someone who knows a lot about the show. He rattles off details about the show like its his second nature. He seems to be one of the few genuine contestants on the show and hates when people are condescending (He gets mad if you showboat your win(s)). He also thinks it’s shallow if you compliment the woman he’s talking too on her body.

Your Character
Derek is one of Your Character's fellow contestants and is one of your love interests. He comes off as a friendly and kind person and respects just and kind responses from Your Character, as shown when you get a relationship point with him for reprimanind Lina when she steals a bottle of alcohol. Despite currently being in a fake relationship with Ivy, he seems to show more interest in Your Character. Derek also sees Your Character as a trustworthy person as shown in Chapter 6 when he asks you if you want to join an alliance with him and Ivy.

Ivy
When Ivy fell into the sea in Chapter 4, Derek and Your Character (if you decided to jump in), chose to jump in as well to save her, and afterwards Ivy seemed interested in Derek and they later seem much closer to one another, looking more and more like a couple. It is revealed in Chapter 6, that they both later agreed to put on a showmance in order to gain more support from fans, but in a later scene, it is shown that Ivy is genuinely interested in Derek when she tries to kiss him without any cameras pointing in their direction, something that Derek is reluctant to oblige.
