S3 E4: The Rat Pack

[dizzyd]

The 1st correct guest of the season and it came from the most clueless player. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Ready for Adam to be gone. Why’d you help him Hud!
 

Again Mackenzie’s wine clue was pretty clear and my guess is Trace Adkins. 

[Seelouis]

Is Adam for real? Thinks Michael Jackson was called “the wiz”. Doesn’t know who molly ringwald is and can’t even remember her name.  Naomi was stupid to keep touting she had HUD’s clue, even though I think she deciphered it wrong. 

[pezgirl7]

I understood why Hud wanted Naomi gone. Although I found Adam annoying, I found her annoying as well so I’m not upset she’s gone. 

Can someone please tell me what the last half of Mackenzie’s clue meant without telling me the relative? Ape home ice? I don’t get it.

Thanks! I don’t think I would have ever gotten the rent part.

Adam must have had a very isolated and spoiled upbringing.  He said that Danny was giving him attitude when he demanded that Danny showed him his clue?  Ummm, no... Never heard of I Love Lucy, Molly Ringwald, etc.?  And, way to throw Hud, your one alliance member, under the bus!!!  Although I did like that he got Naomi out after she declared their alliance dead and criticized him throughout all of her confessionals.

Had I been in the interrogation challenge, I would have just answered every question with 'yes' instead of trying to determine how to answer it after it was asked.  Just an immediate, consistent response.

I'm wondering if Adam might be on the spectrum rather than just clueless. Or maybe just clueless about celebrities.  In which case, why go on a game show about celebrities??? Either way, I find his game play annoying. 

Much like Donny Osmond's son last season, I think I figured Adam's claim to fame right off the bat and am surprised the other players have not.

At one point I thought maybe Adam was just playing dumb for some odd strategy in the game.  But nope, he really is that stupid.  He also must have the worst memory.  

I understood why Hud helped Adam get Naomi out.  Hud saw how she turned on Adam.  Plus she kept holding it over his head that she had his clue.  But he should have told Adam to keep it quiet how he knew.

Naomi's jaw drop at the Breakfast Club question was priceless.

Anyone have any idea who Adam's relative is?

Adam has no idea who anyone is and makes no effort to find out other than expecting everyone to feed him information. Then, when someone gives him the answer he can't remember it - good thing he didn't wash his hands. I don't blame Hud because he needed to get rid of Naomi but I hope no one else helps Adam at this point.

Have we seen Shane's clue? To me he looks like Forest Whitaker when he tilts his head a certain way.

He does, but I think the guesser in the first episode guess Forest Whitaker and got s3nt home because it was wrong.

Thank you, I missed that.  The first few episodes are a bit of a blur sometimes as I try to sort people out.

No, I think the only real clue we have for him is when he said in confessional that Michael Jackson was his sister’s godfather. I was trying to think of other celebs who were close to MJ and I guess I don’t know much about his life because I can’t think of any. 😣

[KerleyQ]

God, I love when someone who considers themselves the super smart puppet master gets the boot. 

Someone dropped Adam on his head as a child. Like, a lot. Damn. But, still Naomi was more annoying, and has been since the first episode. I loved the slow reveal of her downfall. First that Gracie showed Shane the clue before she went home. Then that Hud overheard Shane and Mackenzie talking about it. I was rooting for Hud to feed her to Adam, after she kept talking about having Hud's clue. It was so satisfying to see her recoil in shock during the challenge, when the questions all showed that someone knew exactly who she is. And then again when Adam, of all people, said Molly Ringwald. It would have been equally satisfying to see her smugly guess Hud and get him wrong, but this way we got rid of her sooner, and didn't need to see her smug all over the place over getting Adam booted. 

He can go next time, though. Expecting everyone to carry him when he knows absolutely nothing and doesn't even try to figure anything out on his own is obnoxious. I laughed out loud at "you guys think it's Carrot Top?" And, dude, it was not cool to sell out Hud like that. He is the only reason you stuck around, and you just told everyone how he sold out Naomi. (Really, everyone should understand, though. If someone is constantly talking about having your clue and you being their ace in the hole, you should do what you can to get rid of them before they can use it.) 

I feel like this season was catered to me, or something. Danny is the only person I have no guess for. So many of the celebrity relatives have been obvious to me either right off the bat, or the second I saw their clues. Adam looks so much like his celebrity relative, and when he said in the first episode that he didn't want to sing for the talent show because his voice it too similar, I realized that his speaking voice is pretty obvious, too. Hud's clue was super easy. I was pretty sure I knew Mackenzie's relative, and as soon as I saw the first part of her clue, that was confirmed for me. Naomi's clue was beyond obvious.  I think I know who Shane's relative is, but I don't think anyone is going to guess that for a while. And, even if they figure out that someone in the house is related to that person, they may not jump to Shane. And, of course, everyone (except Adam) knows who Dedrick's relative is.

If you think you know Adam's celebrity relative, and you believe in checking out spoilers, check out Adam.  You would be surprised to learn about someone, who in real life, is quite different than the clueless wonder we are watching on the show.

Is there a link you can put in spoiler tags?

[Grammy6]

I don't know how to do spoiler tags, but if you google Adam on Claim to Fame, you'll find spoilers for each person on the show.

Definitely wrong.  More than one artist has a song called "Cherry Bomb" and only one has a song called "Needle Pain Great!"  Confirmed on last night's show.

Sorry - wrong thread!

I watched the first episode a few weeks ago, and right now I'm binging the rest.  Part of me is happy that Naomi is gone because -- if I have the right person -- she got on my nerves in Ep. 1 because she was so angry/jealous over Gracie Lou being the better singer.   I wonder if she acted that jealous around her cousin.   Who frankly wasn't all that affectionate toward Naomi in that reveal. 

But Adam?  What an idiot.  He couldn't remember the name Molly Ringwald for an hour or ever how long he needed to remember it in his memory cells?    And Lucille Ball is an ICON.   But knowing Lucy is kind of like knowing the name of the the first President.   Which he may not know.   He may not even know that the original Adam was, well, the original Adam. 

[DEL901]

In the finale Naomi was still harping on her wrong guess about Hud.   And Hud thinking Bret Michaels was known for live songs?   I didn’t care for Adam but it was funny watching him circle around Trace Adkin’s name.
