One thing unites all the Claim to Fame contenders: they have a well-known relative.
Players must determine who their rivals are linked to while maintaining their own famous connection a secret if they are to win the $100,000 ultimate prize. A clue wall, hints provided during missions, and a wine cellar with one clue for every player all enable players to learn the truth about each other's family trees.
In Claim to Fame, information gathering is essential as players who find themselves in the bottom two following missions run the danger of guessing that week. The guesser has to properly name one cousin of one of their rivals, therefore guiding them home. The guesser is instantly removed should they be incorrect.
Season 3 started on July 10, while Claim to Fame originally debuted in 2022. Following in the footsteps of season 1 champion LC Palmer, who is Keke Palmer's sister, and season 2 winner Gabriel Cannon, Nick Cannon's brother, the season 3 winner will be as well.

Bianca Roberts and Robinson Roberts
Bianca's castmates voted for her to be the first guesser during the ABC reality series' season three premiere. Though her estimate was off, she was sure Shane was connected to Forest Whitaker and turned out to be the niece of Robin Roberts of Good Morning America.
Bianca told Us Weekly only that Robin was an early booster of her reality TV aspirations after she was eliminated.
" Years and years ago - this is showing my age - I wanted to be on The Real World," she said. "And my aunt bought me a book Christmas with Real World application in it."
Bianca said that during the show, her aunt advised her "to be myself and have fun."
John Stamos and Jill Kur LFink
After some deft Miguel's part plotting, Jill mistakenly thought in episode 2 that Miguel was related to Antonio Banderas. Miguel sensed he would be the house target, so he devised a scheme for his pal Dedrick to "catch" him discussing his being a Banderas. The bogus information went fast throughout the home, and Jill bought the falsehood. Jill's celebrity relative was revealed to be Stamos after she guessed incorrectly.
Once Jill learned she was competing for season 3 of Claim to Fame, she told Us only Stamos was "the first person [she] called."
"He was like, "That is fantastic. You will be spectacular. She stated, "He turned right away into this just, like, protective uncle that was encouraging me, giving me advice, and there for me during the entire process." "I just hope I made him proud; I'm so proud of everything he has done and he has been there for me in some of the worst times."
Gro Gracie Hyland and Jon Cryer
After Naomi gave misleading information, Gracie mistakenly thought Adam is connected to Dustin Hoffman during episode 2's double elimination. She later turned out to be Jon Cryer's niece before being kicked off.
In an homage to his Pretty in Pink character, Duckie, Cryer made an appearance in Gracie's last episode picking her up from the Claim to Fame house and inquiring as to whether a duck had been on the clue wall. Actually, the clue wall had a duck.)
"He has been very involved since the day I was born," Gracie told Us about her uncle. "He visits a lot; I don't live near him anymore so I don't see him as much as I would like." You may also read this: House Of Villains’ Season 2 Star Would Do The Best On ‘Drag Race’
James Lee Curtis and Raphael "Miguel" Curtis
Miguel declared his full name to be Raphael Miguel Curtis in episode three. It worked when he wanted to present people as thinking his celebrity relative was Latinx using his middle name. Jamie Lee was revealed to be Miguel's aunt, none of his rivals saw coming when Miguel mistakenly thought Dedrick is connected to Little Richard.
Miguel told Us just that he was "not exactly" close to Jamie Lee throughout his growing up after he was eliminated.
"Our family is here. Though we adore and encourage one another, I have never seen [her], like, consistently, he said. "It's always been like visits, maybe vacation or something else, but never really quite hands-on or in person most of the time."
Miguel was open on the program about Jamie Lee supporting his family through a trying time, even though they may not have seen each other much.
"My mother ended up in the hospital and went through some really tough times, and my celebrity relative stepped in to help," he confided.
