'Claim to Fame's First Double Elimination Reveals Two More Celebrity Relatives
Claim to Fame just returned for Season 3, and we've already seen three players jettisoned from the game for incorrect guesses. The reality show invited 11 contestants to live in a Hollywood mansion, each with an A-list celebrity relative that they must keep secret. On most weeks one nepo-baby gets their 'claim to fame' revealed, with whoever can keep their famous relative under wraps until the end taking home the $100,000 prize. However, this week in the first ever double elimination, two contestants were sent packing on the same night.

This week in Episode 2, our 10 remaining contestants competed in a team-based canoeing/spelling challenge. Once the winners and losers had been decided, the contestants once again tried to untangle the identities of their competitors with new clues they'd amassed. Here's everything that happened on Episode 2 of Claim to Fame Season 3.
Who went home during Episode 2 on Claim to Fame Season 3?
ABC
Jill
The first casualty of this week's double elimination was Jill. When the Blue Team lost the canoeing challenge, the team captain Gracie Lou had to choose one of her fellow teammates (Hud, Shane, Mackenzie or Jill) to join her in the bottom two. Both would be forced to guess another player's identity. Gracie Lou opted to send Jill into the guess off assuming that she'd be the least help to Gracie Lou and was therefore expendable. Jill incorrectly guessed that Miguel was related to Antonio Banderas based off false information that Miguel, himself, had planted. When Jill's guess proved incorrect, her famous relative, John Stamos, was revealed.

Gracie Lou
With Jill sent packing, Gracie Lou became the evening's second victim when she incorrectly guessed that Adam was related to Dustin Hoffman. Like Jill, Gracie Lou fell headfirst into a trap as Naomi gave her false information upon finding out that Gracie Lou had pulled her clue in the wine cellar. Gracie Lou's relative was then revealed to be her uncle, Jon Cryer.

John Stamos
Jill's relative was revealed in Episode 2 to be Full House star John Stamos. Stamos is Jill's uncle and delivered a kind message to his niece that caused her to get teary eyed before she exited the house.

Jon Cryer
In a first for the show, Jon Cryer arrived on the set of Claim to Fame to escort his niece home once she'd been eliminated. The Two and a Half Men star sent in the standard video message that we've come to expect, but surprised the audience when he pulled up in a car outside of the mansion where the show is filmed.
What clues were revealed during the canoe challenge?
At the beginning of the canoe challenge, Kevin and Nick Jonas informed the contestants that they would be solving riddles, with at least one clue relating to each of the relatives of the house's contestants. There appeared to be twelve clues on the table and only nine of them were read aloud so we are certainly missing some, and others might be red herrings.
Here, however, are the nine clues from the show:
"This style of facial hair covers your chin, but not your cheeks." — Goatee (Mackenzie reveals this is her clue)
"A pass high in the air that leads to a slam dunk." — Alleyoop
"You'll want to try and stay together, or it could cost you this." — Alimony
"This signature dessert is made with cherries and flambeed in brandy and served over vanilla ice cream." — Jubilee
"This astrological sign was also the name of a famous NASA space program." — Gemini
"You'll need the tallest of ladders to see eye-to-eye with this animal." — Giraffe
"This musical rattle often comes in pairs." — Maraca
"Some take this vow when refraining from intimacy." — Chastity
"'The Ride of' this female figure from Norse mythology is a famous classical piece of music." — Valkyrie
