Alex95 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) Season 2 is coming soon! I remember some people talking about it the off-topic thread last year and I'm finally getting around to watching S1. I'm about halfway through the season and really enjoying it! Looking forward to following along live for S2. Here's the cast: https://parade.com/tv/claim-to-fame-season-2 Edited July 25 by Alex95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmon Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 OMG YAY! I loved season 1 so much. So excited for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Wallace Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Ahh I was meaning to make a thread for this show, but I forgot to do so so many times. I'm glad there are some fans of it on IDF as it was one of my shows I thought I was the only one I watched while it was airing. Excited for the new season to come, which premieres on Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperman Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 this show is so great! loved season 1, and season 2 is off to an awesome start! that was a fun premiere, and that elimination was EPIC! that was one of the craziest meltdowns I've seen on reality tv in a loooong time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 Lol Carly's meltdown felt a bit too put-on even for me. It still made me laugh though soooooooo. If that was all genuine then I'd kill to be a fly on the wall at the next Hanks family reunion and watch Carly and Chet interact. I'm very terrible at the guessing part and I have no idea who anyone is so far lol. The John Mayer guess for that one white dude makes sense to me. I don't think Travis is related to Neil deGrasse Tyson, I do feel like it's an actor. I think Hugo's related to a president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Wallace Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Yeah I thought last night was a fun premiere episode. Aww I did feel bad for Carly though. With how she helped Hugo and then he backstabbed her in choosing her and guessing her celeb relative. But it makes sense for what he did as he wanted to stay in the game and had to make the easiest guess to keep him safe. So I get it on Hugo's end. But yeah Carly was a standout on the first episode and I wish we saw more of her. Then her EPIC meltdown at the end was iconic! She sure left out with a bang. LMAOO Alex bringing up Chet. I was thinking that Chet is no longer the most embarrassing Hanks member after that Carly meltdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm terrible at the guessing part too. I did like the John Mayer guess for Chris. But I also got a Donny Osmond/Osmond family member vibe from him as he kinda looks like a younger version of him to me. That's the only guess on my own I got so far.

I loved the premiere and when she had that meltdown I thought about you and was like Alex is going to be living for this. I also suck at the guessing part. I thought about John Mayer before they said him but my friend who I talk to about the show also brought up Osmond as her guess so will see what happens with that I guess.

Alex95 Posted July 4 Author Share Posted July 4 Mama Jane went to the Vanessa Rousso School of Manipulation with all the crying she's doing . I fear her time is up soon, but I hope her reign of terror can continue a little longer. Loved seeing Monay pick Chris' clue, hopefully she can get rid of him! Her lie about the winner's clue was so bad though, I'm afraid it's gonna bite her. He's definitely an Osmond now I'm sad to see Travis go, I liked him. I can't believe it was actually a question whether or not Gabriel would say his name correctly Shayne is so glam . I hope she can be the Louise of the season and be the layup that snakes to the end .

*Wallace Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Last night's episode was another really fun episode. Ugh I hate that the targets were between Travis and Shayne as I like them both but didn't want either to go. Sad to see Travis go. He was such a nice kid, but probably too nice and trusting of people. But fun to learn that he is Neil DeGrasse Tyson's son. I did research that last week when it was brought up and saw that he was his son so I knew that for awhile. Also nice seeing a video of Neil in the reveal too. It was also nice seeing a classy exit from Travis despite him feeling betrayed. Now that it seems people have/are figuring out Shayne, I'm curious how long she's gonna last. I'm wondering if she's gonna go out soon or will they keep her around as long as Louise from last season (though that was way obvious). Also LOL omgg Jane. Jane "acting" like the sweet Mother bear in the house but she's actually the cutthroat player. omg she's interesting to watch. I didn't expect her act to be caught on this soon so yeah I can see her going soon. But she's a fun villain. I also don't know why but I'm getting a feeling her celeb relative could be Cher (which I was thinking of due to the birth year reveal). I feel like the preview clip leads to that too. Ooh and also Chris saying his relative was famous in the '70s (and the Monay clue on Chris) definitely gives it away that his relative could be Donny Osmond, at least imo.

pepperman Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 this week's episode was amazing! that was sooo good! that guess-off had me on the edge of my seat! this is the best reality show in YEARS! it's such a breath of fresh air while other shows like Survivor and Big Brother have gotten stale and predictable. all reality competition fans need to be watching this show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Wallace Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Agreed that this show is entertaining and it was another fun episode! I do love how alliances seem to be stronger and the cast seems more cutthroat and all. And the paranoia is also really fun too. Ah I'm not surprised about Jane being targeted. But omgg when she went to guess Chris, I thought she figured him out. But then she guessed his relation to Elvis, which was wrong. But ahh Jane is Dolly Parton's niece, which was really fun to learn! Last week, with the clues shown and the 1946 birth year, I was thinking she was related to Cher so I was wrong there. Sad to see Jane go as she brought some good and fun drama. But seeing her love for Dolly was really sweet! But wow Karsyn seems like a bit of a darkhorse here. She was getting and guessing people correctly. I barely remember her as she hasn't had much airtime but she's someone to look out for. Though I am loving the Shayne/Monay alliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenKalie Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Man this show is just so much fun. I don't know Karsyn was teling the truth or if she lied when she said they were wrong. It was great game play though and got the target off of her and onto Shayne which I'm sure broke Wally's heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Wallace Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Not Cole doing Shayne dirty like that. I definitely wasn't expecting him to call her to guess her celebrity relative. But sadly, this was known since like the first episode. So I'm happy Shayne made it this far but sad she couldn't pull a Louise. But then I think I remember the previews of a betrayal going to happen, soo it did click to me that Cole would choose Shayne. I get why Cole did what he did game-wise as it's easier to make the surefire guess to save yourself... but I still don't have to like it. Ooh and I was wondering if a potential showmance would happen on this show.... and then it kinda happened this episode but then got snipped real fast. But ooooo definitely looking forward to how Monay is going to plot revenge on Cole. And ah that last scene with Shayne/Monay looking at and discovering Cole's clues were intriguing. I was really wondering who his celeb could be. A lot of those clues do seem geared towards Alicia Keys. Then there was that swish cheese clue, which made me think of Swizz Beatz (Alicia's husband). I feel certain on this so I wonder how this will spread. Ah yeah like I said last week, Karsyn is becoming quite the dark horse. I don't know if she's lying or telling the truth but it was a great way to save her and her game from having people guess her. I'm not so knowledged on NASCAR/racecar celebs, so I am not really confident on the Jeff Gordon guess for her. Gabriel's also playing this really good. Cause yeah he seems like he could be related to an athlete. But the Good Burger clue he mentioned.... it's not that. So not a clue there yet but I'm curious.

Alex95 Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 (edited) Very fun season so far, but the boot order has been horrendous and has me worried for the second half of the season. I’ll take any of the first four boots over half the cast still remaining. Shayne is a star and she will be missed. The Chris, Karsyn, Olivia alliance is so painfully boring and needs to be destroyed immediately. I’m gonna need Monay to stay strong cause she’s gonna be carrying this show. I like Gabriel & Hugo too.. Edited July 18 by Alex95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. And lmao of course you were rooting for the opposite side. Even on reality shows, we totally differ and root on different sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmon Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I was really bummed to see Shayne go. It was a lose-lose for me because I like both Karsyn & Shayne. But, I have to give props to Karsyn - that was some good gameplay. like Alex said though, such a bummer all the fun personalities are the early boots.

Alex95 Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 I'm so glad the telephone challenge made its comeback Definitely my favorite challenge of the show, it always brings chaos Starting to get more confident on the celebs Chris - Donny Osmond 100% Gabriel - Nick Cannon? The only black guy from Nickelodeon I can think of that's not Kenan & Kel. Hugo - Jimmy Carter, like 99% Monay - J.B. Smoove 100%. Curb Your Enthusiasm gave it away from me this episode, and she looks just like him. But he's a pretty obscure celebrity, gonna be difficult to guess I bet. Karsyn - Obviously a racecar driver, but I do not know racecar drivers at all to take a guess Still no clue about JR and Olivia though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenKalie Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Cole was pretty boring so I didn't really care that he went home. I read that the Emma Watson rumors were false he dated some singer from a band I have never heard of. So the one fun thing about him besides being related to Alicia Keys isn't even true oh well.

*Wallace Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 LOL Yess the telephone challenge is always so fun. Ah I had a feeling Cole was gonna go this week. He shouldn't have targeted Shayne. But it was nice learning he is Alicia Keys brother and loved her message to him too! Oooh I do agree with a lot of Alex's guesses there. I was trying to figure out Gabriel's but I wasn't too confident there but that seems like a good guess. It's funny how he's still under the radar with guesses about his relative despite being a big personality. I was thinking that Monay was Steve Harvey's daughter throughout the whole season but with the clues given last night, I totally get how she could be J.B. Smoove's daughter. lol the cast now thinking Chris' relative is Jim Carrey now. He's gonna steamroll and keep on stomping this cast all the way to the final. I'm guessing that Monay or Hugo will be the next targets for next week? Though Chris could also be a target too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
