Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for ABC's Claim to Fame.
Though she did not walk away with the gold, Adria Louise Biles certainly surprised her fellow Claim to Fame competitors — and herself! If you've been keeping up with the ABC reality competition series, celebrity relatives compete in challenges and gather clues that will bring them one step closer to guessing who their housemate is related to.
However, it didn't take long for Adria's competitors to figure out who is her celebrity relative — she is the sister of Olympic gymnast Simone Biles.
Though Adria went by her middle name "Louise" in the show, her fellow contestants couldn't deny the uncanny resemblance between the two. While Louise's celebrity relative was already known among the housemates, she was not eliminated until Episode 8. Why?
Well, much like her sister, Louise kept winning and was granted immunity. But, her luck seemingly ran out and Louise found herself in the bottom two alongside Logan.
Logan was voted as the guesser, and he opted to finally send Louise home. With "100 percent confidence," he guessed that Louise's celebrity relative is Simone Biles.
Following her elimination, Distractify caught up with Adria "Louise" to talk about her experience on the show and the best piece of advice her sister Simone has given her.
Check out our Q&A below.
