'Claim to Fame' season 3 celebrity relative reveals

ABC's celebrity relative guessing game Claim to Fame wrapped up season 3 on Wednesday, revealing the final famous family members of all the players.

Throughout the reality competition — cohosted by Franklin Jonas and Kevin Jonas — players identities were kept secret from their fellow contestants, who only got a smattering of clues before one person's identity was unveiled each week after a guess-off ceremony.

See below for the biggest clues we gathered all season for each contestant, our own early predictions for their relatives, and who everyone's claim to fame turned out to be.

01 of 11

Adam

Status: Winner.
Biggest clues: Adam is related to a Grammy-winning singer, whom he says he sounds just like when he sings. The show insinuates that the lightning bolt and lightbulb on the clue wall are his clues. He is not related to Dustin Hoffman or Owen Wilson. Adam claims his relative once babysat Paula Abdul. Wine bottle clue: Two pencils with smaller one crossed out + Hair + Star with "90" in the middle + Singer + Heart + Baseball + "+" + "Advertising"
Our prediction: Beyond really not wanting people to call it a lightning "bolt," Adam gave it away himself as the story of singer Michael Bolton babysitting a young Abdul makes the rounds regularly.
Celebrity relative revealed: Michael Bolton is Adam's uncle.

Status: Eliminated by Adam correctly guessing his relative.
Biggest clues: Hud says his mom is a singer with a Grammy, but one of these details is untrue. Wine bottle clue: Cherries + Bomb + Artist + Owl with speech bubble (who) + Hurt/pain + Needle and thread (sew/so) + Thumbs up. Thinks scarecrow clue is for his relative.
Our prediction: While some Claim to Famers opt to use pseudonyms on the show, such is not the case for Hud. And for those of us with the affliction of keeping track of celeb spawn with unusual names — especially ones who have previously made news for being charged with a crime — it was a dead giveaway that this contestant is Grammy-winning "Jack and Diane" singer John Mellencamp's son, who was named after the title character of Paul Newman’s 1963 movie.
Celebrity relative revealed: John Mellencamp is Hud's dad (and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave is his sister).

03 of 11

Mackenzie

Status: Eliminated by Adam correctly guessing her relative.
Biggest clues: Mackenzie's dad is a singer who does not have a Tony or any Broadway experience. He has a goatee. Wine bottle clue: Six feet + number 6 + Musical note with cowboy hat + Owl with speech bubble (who) + Winner/champion + Monkey/gorilla face + House for sale + Ice cube.
Our prediction: After doing some light Googling on singers with a daughter named Mackenzie, we quickly stumbled upon a story by our sister-site, PEOPLE, that had the answer right there in the headline: "Trace Adkins' 5 Children: All About Tarah, Sarah, Mackenzie, Brianna and Trinity."
Celebrity relative revealed: Trace Adkins is Mackenzie's dad.

04 of 11

Shane

Status: Eliminated by Mackenzie correctly guessing his relative.
Biggest clues: Shane says his cousin is an actor with an Oscar, but one detail is a lie. He calls them an "icon in Hollywood" and claims he’s visited Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. Also brags about once having dinner with his sister and Elizabeth Taylor, who was wearing bedazzled cowboy boots at the time. Says Michael Jackson is his sister's godfather. Bottle clue: Mackenzie gets Shane clue: Mistletoe + Log/Wood "+" Eye "+" C + On sign + W/ + Italy + Crown + Safety pin + Roll of toilet paper.
Our prediction: It was Shane's own godfather remark that took us down the path to figuring him out. Among those Jackson was godfather to, like Nicole Richie, is Prudence Brando, granddaughter of the most famous Godfather of all: Marlon Brando, whom we think is Shane's grandpa.
Celebrity relative revealed: Marlon Brando is Shane's grandfather.

05 of 11

Danny

Status: Eliminated for incorrectly guessing Mackenzie's relative.
Biggest clues: Danny says his uncle is a pro wrestler, who has won a Grammy, but one of these details is a lie. He says his relative has "bongos playing in his music all the time." Wine bottle clue: Man on fire + Veni Vidi Vici + Microphone on star + Owl with speech bubble (who) + People falling + "j" placed low down.
Our prediction: That J.Lo hint gave it all away. Shane is definitely related to Grammy-winning singer, Jennifer Lopez ex, and Man on Fire star Marc Anthony.
Celebrity relative revealed: Marc Anthony is Danny's uncle. And Danny's real name is Miguel.

06 of 11

Dedrick

Status: Eliminated for incorrectly guessing Adam's relative.
Biggest clues: Dedrick says his uncle is a singer who has won a best rock song of the year award "on more than a few occasions," with the latter detail seeming to be a lie. He may have also accidentally revealed that his last name is Jackson. In a later episode he tells a story about his famous uncle taking him to the toy store in the middle of the night, and that Charlie Sheen tried to give his uncle a sports car, but he couldn't drive. Not related to Little Richard. Wine bottle clue: Scarecrow + Owl speaking (who) + man walking to the right + circle with two arrows walking backward + arrow pointing right through a half box + N + a pawn? - L + Runway.
Our prediction: Unless he's a gaming mastermind, we are trusting that his blunder was unintentional and that his famous relative is Michael Jackson (and Janet and La Toya....)
Celebrity relative revealed: Michael Jackson is Dedrick's uncle. Dedrick's real name is Sigmund Jackson and he's the son of Jackie Jackson.

Naomi

Status: Eliminated by Adam correctly guessing her relative.
Biggest clues: Naomi is related to someone who has won the Young Artist Award. Her wine bottle clue features the following emojis: Bra + "T" + Backpack + Tiara + to/in + Club + Coffee with croissant (4 times).
Our prediction: Her wine bottle clue is a pretty dead giveaway that she's related to a woman in the Brat Pack who probably starred in The Breakfast Club, so we are predicting that Naomi is related to Molly Ringwald, who won the Young Artist Award for Best Leading Young Actress in a Feature Film in 1984 for Sixteen Candles.
Celebrity relative revealed: Molly Ringwald is Naomi's cousin.

08 of 11

Miguel

Status: Eliminated for incorrectly guessing Dedrick's relative.
Biggest clues: Miguel (not his real name) is related to an Oscar-winning actor, who he suggests he might be lying about being his grandfather. He says he is using a fake name to "make people think I am more Spanish than I actually am." He is not related to Antonio Banderas.
Our prediction: N/A
Celebrity relative revealed: Everything Everywhere All at Once Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis is his aunt. (Also grandson of Some Like It Hot star Tony Curtis.) And his real name is Raphael Curtis.

Gracie Lou

Status: Eliminated for incorrectly guessing Adam's relative.
Biggest clues: Gracie Lou says her uncle is a musician who has won an Emmy, but the musician seems to be a lie — or at least not a country musician, as she reveals she is purposely leaning into a country character to throw others off. The duck on the clue wall is a hint for her relative.
Our prediction: N/A
Celebrity relative revealed: Two and a Half Men star Jon Cryer is Gracie Lou's uncle.
