S01.E01. It's All Relative

[QQQQ]

The dress (top?) Louise is wearing during her intro is making me really nervous... No wardrobe malfunctions, please!!

I just heard about this show today, but so far it seems like a lot to keep track of (with some info being true, some being lies). I'm not sure if I'll like this vs. people either telling the truth or lying (i.e. like the Circle). Or maybe I misunderstood the premise 😅

Apparently Maxwell's never seen a reality show before.

Ok everyone guessed Simon biles sis because she looks so much like her. Not sure why they revealed to us Whoopi’s granddaughter. I think Brittany is Brett favre’s daughter. Anyone else watch this and have guesses?

I liked Kevin and Frankie as hosts.

X is Laverne Cox’s twin brother, I’m pretty sure. Brittany is Brett Favre’s daughter.

L.C. looks really familiar. I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before.

This show is going to be my new addiction!

Lark looks like Angie Harmon to me. Pepper reminds me of Ashley Judd. LC looks like Laurence Fishburne. Logan I can't figure it out and it's driving me crazy.

You are totally right about X being Laverne's brother. 

[DEL901]

I thought Pepper looked like Bette Midler.

And doesn't understand that when it says you're on camera 24.7 it means ALL THE TIME.  

If X isn't Laverne' Cox, brother than I'm the queen of england.  Kai reminds me of Laila Ali (Muhamed ali's daughter)

[BrainyBlonde]

That's who X is!!!!!!! The voice sounded so familiar, but I just couldn't place it. Of course, it's Laverne's twin brother. <face plant>

The one who's bothering me is Lark because she really reminds me of someone. When Brittany got that extra clue about Lark, it said her relative was a runway model in the '80s. Her famous relative is her aunt though, right? That makes it harder to zero in on who she is, but my best guesses based on her appearance are: Carol Alt, Linda Evangelista, or Stephanie Seymour.

One of the contestants is definitely a relative of Muhammed Ali as Kevin teased that a contestant was related to "the greatest."

Simone Biles's sister was so obvious that I pegged her before she even opened her mouth and spoke.

Pepper's voice also reminded me of Ashley Judd's, but that must just be a coincidence because her famous relative is a male.

I think Lark looks a lot like Jill Hennesey (Crossing Jordan, Law & Order).   

[peachmangosteen]

Was Jill Hennesey a model in the 80s?

I know she modeled before making it as an actress.

ETA: jill Hennesey was born in 1968, and started modeling at age 15. So, yeah.

Are these all biological relatives?  Or can they be related through marriage (i.e. and not share any similar physical traits)?

[cmahorror]

I think Logan is Scotty McCreery's cousin. Scotty won American Idol and had that same deep voice. 

The clue about someone being related to the greatest of all time is Simone Biles.

Totally didn't call Maxwell being Chuck Norris's grandson but it was really shitty of him to break the rules. Grandpa Chuck is not going to be happy about him breaking the rules.

Huh, never thought of that. I feel like that'd be kind of against the gist of the show though so I doubt it.

[apollonia666]

Yeah, that is Laverne Cox's twin brother M Lamar. He played her character Sophia in some pre-transition flashbacks on "Orange Is the New Black." 

[EarlGreyTea]

Best elimination ever. Figures a douchey cheater would be related to Chuck Norris.

I imagine this show could go on forever if it does well enough. There is no shortage of nobodies trying to stage a come-up through their famous relative. Some of these are pretty legit celebrities, too, like Whoopi.

I've seen speculation that Pepper is Dean Martin's Grandaughter 

[zenithwit]

This was really fun.  I love it when the show is in on the joke.  I laughed everytime they played the phantom of the opera music when X was on. 

Also, I kinda wish the show didn't reveal some of the celebrity connections.  It's fun to guess and be surprised with the contestants.  But so far, all of the confirmed celebrity connections are pretty legit.  Or at least they are definitely household names.

Simone Biles' sister should have taken a cue from X and done something to change up her appearance.

[Rebky]

I agree that LC is related to a star from Akeelah and the Bee, but it isn't the young actress. It's Lawrence Fishburne. I mean, look at her.  I immediately thought the country singer was related to Luke Bryan (talks just like him), Pepper is Bette Midler and Lark is Cindy Crawford. YMMV.
