‘Claim to Fame’ Season 3: All the Clues & Hints Revealed For Each Remaining Contestant After Week 5 (RECAP) (2024)

By JJ Staff

“Hud”

Two Truths & a Lie:

My celebrity relative is my: Mom
My celebrity relative is best known for being a: Singer
The biggest award my celebrity relative has won: A Grammy

WEEK TWO CLUES: Naomi pulled Hud‘s wine clue as they have formed an alliance and in order to keep each other safe, she picked his so no one else could. In it, the emojis revealed were cherries, a bomb, a painter, an owl, a hurt knee, a sewing needle and a thumbs up.

She drew the conclusion that the first part is “Cherry Bomb artist” and this led her to The Runaways who have a song called “Cherry Bomb.” She then started putting pieces together from the clue wall and the challenge, like “gemini,” saying this person has a twin sister, and the double cancer signs… This has led her to guess Hud’s relative is The Runaways‘ Cherie Currie, and Naomi is “fairly certain” she is Hud‘s mom. She shared the clue with Hud and he said that it was “incredibly obvious” who is celebrity relative is, but, of course, did not mention anything else!

WEEK 4 CLUES: He noted that he thinks the scarecrow on the clue wall is for his celebrity relative! In the challenge, he was asked if his relative was famous for country music, which he replied no. Hud also landed in the bottom two as being one of the worst detectives during the lie detector challenge. He was not voted as the guesser though.

WEEK 5 CLUES: There was a melon in the challenge and Hud confirmed that was a clue to his celebrity relative’s identity. Mackenzie noted the melon and lots of watermelon clues, leading her to get pop vibes for Hud‘s relative.

“Mackenzie”

Two Truths & a Lie:

My celebrity relative is my: Dad
My celebrity relative is best known for being a: Singer
The biggest award my celebrity relative has won: A Tony

WEEK 1 CLUES: Mackenzie confirmed the Tony award in her two truths and a lie is the lie. She said there is no Broadway association in her family, but she did confirm her relative is a singer when she said that singing is not hereditary.

WEEK 2 CLUES: In the challenge, one of the words they had to guess was “goatee,” which in her confessional, Mackenzie admitted that that was definitely for her celebrity relative.

WEEK 4 CLUES: Danny had told Adam that he thinks her relative is actor Dennis Leary. Here are questions and Mackenzie‘s answers from the lie detector test challenge… Have they ever played a ballerina? Yes. Have they ever played a firefighter? No. Is your relative a female? Yes. The last one the others thought was a lie. Shane pulled Mackenzie‘s wine clue, which had these emoji clues: six footsteps, the number six, a cowboy hat on top of a music note, an owl saying, a person holding a trophy, a monkey, a house for sale with the word “sale” missing, and an ice cube. Shane concludes the first half means “6’6″ country music star who won…”

“Shane”

Two Truths & a Lie:

My celebrity relative is my: Cousin
My celebrity relative is best known for being an: Actor
The biggest award my celebrity relative has won: An Oscar

WEEK 1 CLUES: Shane revealed his celebrity relative is an “icon in Hollywood,” and his similarly to his relative, he found it easy being on stage. Fellow contestant Bianca guessed that clues for Shane‘s relative on the clue wall were the grenade, the dog, a stapler, the popcorn bucket with tickets, army men and the school bus. She was convinced he is related to Forest Whitaker, and after she was voted the guesser, she guessed that and it was wrong!

WEEK 3 CLUES: All we got from Shane in the third episode was that Michael Jackson is his sister’s godfather.

WEEK 4 CLUES: Here are questions and Shane‘s answers from the lie detector test challenge… Is your relative really your cousin? No. Does your relative know Michael Jackson? Yes. Is your relative still alive? Yes.

WEEK 5 CLUES: Adam became convinced that Shane is related to Robin Williams, with the napalm smell (what he thought!) in the challenge leading to the movie Good Morning Vietnam, plus the grenade and the robin bird on the clue wall. He also guessed a sound in the challenge was for Robin‘s movie Jumanji.
