CLAIM To Fame debuted on ABC last summer and was a big hit.
For those unfamiliar, the format involves 12 contestants living together while trying to work out a secret about the others.
Who is their celebrity relatives?
Season 1 featured relatives of Dean Martin, Chuck Norris and Keke Palmer, to name a few.
With Claim To Fame Season 2 well underway, let’s look at who has been revealed – and who is still in the running.
Already eliminated
Carly – Tom Hanks
Carly was revealed to be Tom Hanks’ niece (by marriage) in week one.
Her mother is the sister of Rita Wilson, Hanks’ wife.

Gabriel correctly identified Neil DeGrasse Tyson as Travis’ celebrity relative in episode two.
Travis is the son of the renowned astrophysicist.

After Jane incorrectly guessed Chris’ relative as Elvis Presley, her own celebrity link was revealed.
Jane’s (real name Jada Star) aunt is country singer Dolly Parton.
Shayne – Eddie Murphy
In a shocking twist, Cole chose to reveal his ally Shayne’s relative: actor and comedian, Eddie Murphy.
He was right! Shayne turned out to be Murphy’s daughter.

Apparently, on Claim To Fame what goes around, comes around.
Karsyn correctly identified Cole’s celebrity as relative as Alicia Keys. Cole and Keys are half-siblings through their father.
Olivia – Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg
Olivia incorrectly chose Jeff Gordon as Karsyn’s celebrity relative which led to her elimination.
