Claim to Fame season 2 celebrity relative reveals and predictions

ABC's Claim to Fame is back for season 2 with 12 new contestants who are all related to someone famous whose identity they are desperately trying to keep secret from the group. The reality guessing game is once again cohosted by Franklin "Frankie" Jonas and his own celebrity relative, brother Kevin Jonas, who lead contestants through challenges where clues are exposed and get very hyped for every big reveal.

Last season's contestants included Whoopi Goldberg's granddaughter, Cindy Crawford's niece, and Laverne Cox's twin. Season 2 promises to match that star power, and is already on the way to surpassing it as the June 26 premiere saw the elimination of the niece of Tom Hanks.

This season, each person's famous relation is being kept under wraps from viewers at home too, which means we get to guess along with the houseguests. Follow along below as we collect the biggest clues for each contestant, make our own predictions for their notable kin, and keep track of every reveal.

Biggest clues: All we got from him during the Two Truths and a Lie icebreaker is that his famous relative is his father, which we can't be sure is a truth or lie. He thinks a statue of Swiss cheese is his clue.
Status: Eliminated episode 5 on July 24, 2023 after being correctly guessed by Karsyn.
Our prediction: We never got a solid clue to crack this one.
Celebrity relative revealed: Alicia Keys is his sister

Biggest clues: She says her father is a musician who has won a Grammy, but we know one of these is a fib. Her bottle clue contains symbols for a crown, coin, traveling, the U.S., as well as a deer with antlers and wheat. We also know the relative was born in 1961.
Status: Eliminated episode 4 on July 17, 2023 after being correctly guessed by Cole.
Our prediction: Otay! Based on that bottle clue, we are sure she is related to SNL's Buckwheat and the star of Coming to America, Eddie Murphy, who was born in 1961 and has a Grammy for a comedy album. (Funny enough, Murphy also received a Razzie, as did the Jonas Bros.)
Celebrity relative revealed: Eddie Murphy is Shayne's dad.

Biggest clues: Two of these things are true and one is a lie: Her famous father is a musician who won a Grammy. Her relative was born in 1946. Photo clues include an orchid, a blue collar, and a parrot.
Status: Jane was eliminated episode 3 on July 10, 2023 after incorrectly guessing Chris' relative as Elvis.
Our prediction: Jane came to play and she has us kind of stumped. The only concrete clue we have is her relative's birth year. There is an incredible list of big stars born that year, including the likes of Cher, Dolly Parton, Liza Minnelli, Steven Spielberg, Sylvester Stallone, Sally Field, Diane Keaton, Cheech Marin, David Lynch, Susan Sarandon, Tim Curry, Tommy Lee Jones, and Andre the Giant. None of the men on the list have a daughter named Jane so we're betting "father" was the lie in her icebreaker clue and the relative could be more distant than a parent. Olivia may have been wrong to so easily dismiss Hugo saying all the wigs on the clue wall pointed to Jane being related to a rockstar. Could southern-twanged Jane be related to famous wig-enthusiast Dolly Parton, who has 10 Grammys and 11 siblings? We're ready to lose our minds seeing Aunt Dolly pop up on this show.
Celebrity relative revealed: Dolly Parton really is her aunt! (Also her name is actually Jada Star and she was named by Aunt Dolly.)

Biggest clues: He tells the group his father is an actor who has won a Critics Choice Award, but we know one of the latter two is a lie. He worries that reciting the first 100 digits of pi puts him "in the nerd category," which he says is a risk based on who his father is.
Status: Travis was eliminated episode 2 on July 3, 2023 after being correctly guessed by Gabriel.
Our prediction: Our calculations tell us he's related to celebrity astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Celebrity relative revealed: Neil deGrasse Tyson is Travis' dad

Biggest clues: Her uncle is an Oscar winner and "one of the biggest actors in Hollywood ever since the '80s."
Status: Carly was eliminated episode 1 on June 26, 2023 after being correctly guessed by Hugo.
Our prediction: N/A (But we swear we called this one before the reveal.)
Celebrity relative revealed: Tom Hanks is her uncle

Biggest clues: His relative is a singer, who he looks and sings like, and has a star on the Walk of Fame. Says his relative was big in the '70s. His bottle clue contains symbols for a puppy, heart/love, T-shirt, letter N, eye, doll, in, seven tees. Not related to Elvis.
Status: Still in the game
Our prediction: Episode 2's clues changed everything. We're switching our first guess of John Mayer, to a bet-it-all prediction that Chris is related to "Puppy Love" singer and '70s teen idol Donny Osmond. Now, we're more curious if the youngsters in the house will be able to put this together.
Celebrity relative revealed: Not yet

Biggest clues: His brother won an NAACP Award and they look nothing alike. His relative was born in San Diego. Photo clues include a beanie hat with a spinner, drum sticks, and a red star logo. Says his brother was on Nickelodeon with Good Burger stars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell.
Status: Still in the game
Our prediction: Devoting an hour to cross-checking every celebrity born in San Diego with NAACP winners? That's journalism, baby! And that led us to change our earlier wild guess of Wayne Brady to our final prediction that Gabriel's non-look-alike brother is actually prolific TV host and father Nick Cannon. All the clues since have supported this pick.
Celebrity relative revealed: Not yet

Biggest clues: His grandfather won a Nobel Prize and was at one point in time "the most powerful man in world."
Status: Still in the game
Our prediction: We're certain he's related to former President Jimmy Carter.
Celebrity relative revealed: Not yet

Biggest clues: He has a famous brother who is not in the NBA. His relative was born in Lithia Springs, Ga. Photo clues include a chef's hat and a pacifier.
Status: Still in the game
Our prediction: The list of celebs from Lithia Springs is incredibly short, and of those only one is listed as actually being born in the city: Lil Nas X. The new pacifier clue also supports this.
Celebrity relative revealed: Not yet

Biggest clues: She says she's related to a male musician, but we don't yet know if part of this is a lie. Her bottle clue contains symbols for a trophy, eraser, minus, E, coin/penny, two record players, 4, and a mug.
Status: Still in the game
Our prediction: The bottle clue seems to point to a trophy-winning racer who holds two records for… drinking a mug of beer? We might have watched Ford vs. Ferrari five times in the theater, but knowing race car driver stats is not our forte. But this season has featured pretty big stars so we bet it's at least someone famous enough to name, which leaves our top picks as Dale Earnhardt or Mario Andretti. Karsyn does not seem like a very Italian name so…
Celebrity relative revealed: Not yet

Biggest clues: Says her father is an athlete with an Emmy, but one of these is a lie. Photo clues include a fedora, pink padlock on a chain necklace, and a cloud with a lightning bolt. Here bottle clue contains symbols for Saturday, night, satellite, &, curb, your, happy person, happy mask.
Status: Still in the game
Our prediction: Several contestants have made cases for clues pointing to Monay being Steve Harvey's daughter, including Carly on episode 1, which is actually a reason we are skeptical. Okay, that and looking through photos of Harvey's family members and not seeing anyone who looks like Monay. But there's another Emmy winner with a penchant for wearing hats who we thought of next, Curb Your Enthusiasm star J.B. Smoove, and, well, the proof is out there. 
Celebrity relative revealed: Not yet

Biggest clues: Says she is related to a Razzie winner, which we don't yet know is true. Photo clues include an alien headband, glittery glasses, and a red plus sign medical symbol.
Status: Still in the game
Our prediction: The newest clues are giving us Robin Williams vibes, but he is not a Razzie winner so we're still a little in the dark on this one and sticking with our very wild guess of Pauley Shore or Tom Green for now.
