Claim to Fame double elimination: Who went home and who are their relatives?

Claim to Fame had such an exciting second episode for their third season back on ABC. From canoe challenges to attempted blackmail, a lot was riding on the contestants with a double elimination. So what happened that led to two of the contestants' downfall?

It all started with the canoe challenge that saw them break up into teams as they attempted to spell out clues about each celebrity relative. After a lot of trial and error, and some falls in the water, the red team, led by Naomi, won the challenge. This meant the blue team, led by Gracie Lou, was the loser and that she was one of the guessers for the elimination.

Since Gracie Lou was automatically part of the guess-off, she had to choose someone from her own team to attempt a guess themselves. 

While she had to choose who would be eliminated, the group also worked to determine if they knew anyone in the house. The only suggestion possible was for Miguel, and they thought it could be Antonio Banderas. This was Gracie’s best bet, since there was still uncertainty about pretty much everyone else in the house.

She decided to bring Jill with her to the guess-off. Unfortunately, when Jill took the chance to guess Antonio Banderas, she was incorrect. As it turned out, Miguel and Dedrick worked together to make everyone think this was accurate.

So with Miguel safe in the game, this meant Jill’s relative was revealed. It was none other than Full House actor John Stamos, who is her her uncle and not her grandfather. This was a huge surprise, especially since Jill had not had any conversations with anyone for them to guess who he was. 

With Jill being eliminated, this left Gracie Lou to guess someone else’s identity. She decided on Adam, after having spoken with Naomi about getting a clue out of her. Naomi claimed to have an idea that he was related to Dustin Hoffman to hide the winner’s clue she had received about another player, Hud.

So was Gracie Lou correct about Adam? Unfortunately for her, she was incorrect and Adam was safe. Gracie Lou was discovered to be related to Two and a Half Men actor Jon Cryer. She revealed her real name as Gracie Hyland and told everyone he was her uncle “Johnny,” as she lovingly called him.

Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Jill and Gracie in the second episode of Claim to Fame. But it was an incredible episode and we got to see how each of the players worked to not only play the game but protect themselves at the same time.

The end of the episode even had a special surprise involving Cryer himself. So far, this season has had plenty of surprises so this was a fun one to see, especially after all of the twists that led to the double elimination.
