Claim to Fame surprise elimination: Who is related to music royalty?

Claim to Fame really has been an interesting ride for the season. Between betrayals, alliances, and surprise twists, there has always been something happening that continues to keep momentum going for the current housemates. So after targeting Adam this entire episode, who was eventually voted off?

Everyone in the house wanted Adam gone since it seemed as though he was just he was just skating by throughout the competition. They planned an attempt to sabotage him in order to get him into the bottom two. However, once they got paired up into teams, Hud was paired with Adam for a senses game.

In the game, they had to use senses other than sight in order to figure out what the clues represented via taste, touch, and smell. Luckily for Adam, he and Hud won the competition while Shane and Dedrick ended up in the bottom two.

After deciding whether to pull his own clue or not, Adam and Hud pulled Danny’s clue since no one knew who he was. His clue boiled down to “Music star who fell for J. Lo.” Even though they planned on keeping it to themselves who they pulled, Adam accidentally spilled the beans, claiming it was his own clue to Shane.

Despite the slip-up, Hud went to Mackenzie and Dedrick to figure out who Jennifer Lopez had been married to before getting a divorce. While looking at the clue board, Adam eventually figured out the name Marc Anthony.

Mackenzie wanted Dedrick to have the answer so that Shane wouldn’t be able to reveal her clue and get her out of the house. But even though Dedrick had the answer, did he guess Danny? No, he went for Adam and guessed he was related to Owen Wilson. However, this was incorrect.

As pretty much almost everyone in the house knew, he is in fact related to the legendary Michael Jackson. Dedrick's real name is Sigmund “Siggy” Jackson. He's the late singer’s nephew and Jackie Jackson's son. 

It was an absolute joy to get to see his game play throughout the show, especially after accidentally saying his own last name early on. He managed to get through a few more episodes before his big reveal.

Now that there are five people left in the game, it is getting down to the wire as almost everyone has an idea of who people are related to. But will they finally be able to determine who Adam is or is he going to surprise everyone and make it to the end?
