Los Angeles, California – The finale of Claim to Fame’s third season on ABC brought unexpected twists and reveals for viewers on August 28th. The competition series unveiled four shocking celebrity relatives, captivating audiences until the very end.
In a dramatic first half of the finale, contestant Shane was eliminated after Mackenzie correctly guessed his iconic family member, the Oscar-winning The Godfather star Marlon Brando. Shane revealed, “Marlon’s my grandpa. I grew up my whole life living with him. Spent some time with him, was very fortunate.” This revelation set the stage for the final showdown between Mackenzie, Adam, and Hud as they vied for the $100,000 prize.
Adam’s victory in the physical challenge gave him the advantage of making the final guess of the night. He seized the opportunity to expose Mackenzie’s celebrity relative, country music legend Trace Adkins.
