Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for Season 3 of Claim to Fame.
Season 3 of ABC's newest reality competition series, Claim to Fame, kicked off on July 10, 2024. Hosted by brothers Kevin and Frankie Jonas, the name of the game describes it perfectly. Claim to Fame starts with 11 contestants, each of whom is related to a celebrity. One contestant is eliminated in each episode, and their identity is revealed. The last person standing takes home a grand prize of $100,000.
So, what is the order of who goes home in Season 3 of Claim to Fame? Each week, one (or, in some cases, two) contestants get the boot. Keep reading for the full list by episode!
Episode 1 — Bianca
The Season 3 premiere of Claim to Fame started with a talent show where each contestant provided more clues about their celebrity relative. The first person to lose the challenge was Bianca, who, after a not-so-great performance, had to guess who one of her competitor, Shane's relative. She only had the information everyone already knew from "Two Truths and a Lie" and the competition's clue wall.
She guessed that Shane's relative was Forest Whitaker due to their resemblance, but was wrong, causing her elimination. As Bianca said farewell to the competition, she ultimately revealed who she's related to. While some guesses included Raven-Symone and Amanda Seales, her famous aunt was revealed as Robin Roberts.
Episode 2 — Gracie Lou and Jill
Episode 2 of the season featured an unexpected double elimination. The group was split into two teams, with Gracie Lou captain in one of them, making her one of the guessers during the elimination round. Gracie Lou was told to pick the other guesser from the opposing team and chose Jill. Jill, who said her famous relative was her grandpa in "Two Truths and a Lie," guessed that their fellow contestant Miguel is related to Antonio Banderas, which was incorrect.
The incorrect guess eliminated Jill. It was revealed John Stamos is her real-life "Uncle Jessie."
Gracie Lou continued on with the competition, using the information her ally Naomi gave her to guess Adam's relative. Gracie Lou guessed Adam was related to Dustin Hoffman, which was false. She was then eliminated and was revealed to be John Cryer's niece. Her real name is Grace and, though she said she's from Tennessee on the show, she's actually from Southern California.
Episode 3 — Miguel
In the third episode of Claim to Fame, Miguel is forced to enter a guess-off by Danny. Danny chose Miguel to avoid being eliminated as the captain of the opposing losing team. Since Miguel doesn't have much information about any of the other players, he chooses to guess Dedrick's relative, as they're the closest in the house. Miguel believed Dedrick was either related to Michael Jackson or Little Richard. He went with Little Richard, which was incorrect. He was revealed to be related to Jamie Lee Curtis.
Episode 4 — Naomi
After weeks of flying under the radar and even being in control in some ways, Adam guesses who Naomi's relative is. Naomi's cousin is Molly Ringwald, star of such '80s movies as Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and The Breakfast Club.
Naomi chooses to stop giving Adam information on everyone else's celebrity relatives, and she forces him to seek help elsewhere. With Hud's help (and Naomi's relative's name written on his arm, apparently), Adam correctly guesses Naomi's celebrity relative.
Episode 5 — Dedrick
Dedrick gets the chance to take out one of the more obvious players this week. But when he incorrectly guesses Adam's relative to be Owen Wilson, Dedrick is sent home. He reveals that his famous relative is Michael Jackson, who is his uncle. And Dedrick's dad is Sigmund Esco "Jackie" Jackson, a member of the Jackson 5.
Episode 6 — Danny
Up until Episode 6, Danny flew by with enough allies to keep him safe and the knowledge of other contestants' clues to get him by. But what eventually takes him down is incorrectly guessing Mackenzie's celebrity relative. He and Shane think they have it figured out, but Danny is wrong. As a result, his celebrity is revealed to be Marc Anthony, his uncle.
Episode 7 — Shane
Shane makes it to the final four, which is an accomplishment in itself. But when Mackenzie gets he opportunity to be the guesser, she opts to guess who Shane is related to, as he is a sure thing. And she guesses correctly that he is related to Marlon Brando. It turns out, the iconic old Hollywood actor is Shane's grandfather.
Episode 8 — Hud and Mackenzie
Technically, Hud and Mackenzie don't go home any sooner than the season's winner, Adam. But they are both eliminated in the Season 3 finale when Adam correctly guesses who both of their relatives are, following his win in the final competition. Hud's famous dad is John Mellencamp, and Mackenzie's is Trace Adkins. This means Adam wins the season, and it's revealed that his relative is his uncle, Michael Bolton. Which no one had really figured out, by the way.
