Past winners include season 1’s Loreal Chanel “L.C.” Palmer, who’s Keke Palmer’s sister, and season 2’s Gabriel Cannon, who’s Nick Cannon’s brother.
While most of theClaim to Famecelebrity relatives take a while for the contestants to figure out,the first reveal is unfair. It happens because of luck and/or intuition rather than any real skills or strategy. If the first elimination happened during week 2 instead of week 1, the contestants would have more clues and more time to decipher them.Claim to Fameseason 3proved once again why there shouldn’t be an elimination during the first week of gameplay.

Claim To Fame Contestants Can’t Make Correct Guesses During Week 1
During theClaim to Fameseason 3 premiere, Bianca was chosen to be the guesser after she and Miguel were in the bottom 2 after the talent show. Miguel managed to secure enough votes for his safety, soBianca was forced to guess one of her fellow competitors' identities. One of Miguel’s arguments for why he shouldn’t be the guesser was that he had no idea who any of his fellow contestants were. This was a compelling argument to keep him because he didn’t pose a threat to anyone.
Miguel overheard a conversation in whichBianca said that she thought that Shane was related to Forest Whitaker. He informed Shane about this as part of his plan to keep himself safe. In the meantime,Bianca was building her case in her own mindabout why Shane was related to Forest. Not only did she think that he looked like him, but she incorrectly used some of the Clue Wall objects, such as the stapler and the bus forFast Times at Ridgemont Highand the army men forGood Morning, Vietnam, to convince herself that her guess might be right.
Bianca was a very smart and observant player.If she’d had more time before she had to make her guess, she might’ve realized that Shane wasn’t related to Forest, or she might’ve figured out someone else’s identity. She didn’t leaveClaim to Famebecause she didn’t have the strategy to play the game, but because she failed to impress her fellow contestants during the talent show. Bianca clearly had the skills to figure out her fellow contestants' identities. However, despite her best efforts, week 1 is simply too soon for anyone to make a correct guess with so little information.

Claim To Fame Season 2’s Hugo Used An Obvious Clue To Correctly Guess Carly’s Identity
DuringClaim to Fameseason 2, former president Jimmy Carter’s grandson, Hugo, was the first guesser.Hugo correctly guessed that Carly was related to Tom Hanks, which led to her infamous meltdown. Hugo got very lucky because of an extremely obvious clue from the Clue Wall, which was the bench fromForrest Gump.If that clue hadn’t been revealed, there’s no telling if Hugo would’ve been able to guess Carly’s true identity. Carly was understandably upset by the bench clue. Although she overreacted, she was right that it was unfair to her.
Carly’s relative is one of the most famous celebrities of all-time, so of course she’d be easy to guess. However, if there wasn’t an elimination during week one, she would have had more of a chance to not only throw her fellow contestants off the track, but also to win a challenge in order to earn a clue from the Wine Room to figure out someone else’s identity.Carly’s week 1 elimination happened because the producers made it way too easyfor the contestants to guess that she was related to Tom.
Claim To Fame Contestants Need More Time & Clues To Make Strong Guesses
Claim To Fame Season 1 Proved This
Claim to Fameseason 1 kicked off with a disqualification when Chuck Norris' grandson, Maxwell, was booted from the showafter it was discovered that he secretly had his phone in the house, which he could’ve used to research his fellow contestants' identities. This meant that no one had to be the guesser duringClaim to Fameseason 1 week 1, which gave the contestants more time to figure out each other’s identities.
The following week, Pepper, who was Dean Martin’s granddaughter, correctly guessed that Michael was related to Zendaya. Michael was actually Cubb Coleman, Zendaya’s cousin. Logan Crosby, who’s Jason Aldean’s cousin, was able to use the extra time to piece together clues about Zendaya’s roles inEuphoriaandSpider-Manin order to help Pepper correctly guess Cubb’s identity.The extra time granted to theClaim to Famecontestants because of Maxwell’s disqualification allowed them to decipher the clues and make a correct guess. This proves that a week 1 elimination shouldn’t happen.
Claim To Fame Season 3: When Is The Finale & How Many Episodes Are Left?
Claim to Fame season 3 has been another wild ride. Find out how many episodes are left until all the mysteries are solved in the season finale.
Claim to Fameis a unique show because it requires the contestants to piece together clues in order to figure out each other’s identities. It’s nearly impossible for the contestants to do this in week 1, unless the clues are obvious, as in Carly’s case.InClaim to Fameseason 3, Bianca left the game too early because she didn’t have enough information to make a correct guess. In addition, the contestants and the audience didn’t have enough time to figure out who she really was.Claim to Fameseason 4 should use week 1 as a getting-to-know-you period, and delay the first elimination until week 2.
