Adam’s Claim To Fame Season 3 Clues

Adam Noticed The Lightning Bolt On The Clue Wall

During the Claim to Fame True Truths and a Lie game, Adam revealed that his celebrity relative's greatest award was a Grammy. The Claim to Fame Instagram page gave the rest of his information, including that his celebrity relative is his uncle, who's an actor. Later in the episode, during the talent show, Adam shared that he's excited about singing and sharing his music, but he wasn't going to do it because his singing voice sounds just like his celebrity relative's, who's a singer. He called it a "dead giveaway." Adam played with a hackey sack, acted, and played the drums instead.

After Miguel and Bianca were in the bottom two, Adam said that Bianca grew up around the 1980s and 1990s, so she might be able to figure out who he is. This was another strong clue about his celebrity relative. However, when combined with the other hints, the most telling clue from the premiere was when Adam saw a lightning bolt on the Clue Wall. He said that it was his clue.

During Claim to Fame season 3 episode 3, Adam made a comment that Shane seemed to be on the older side, so he might be able to guess his celebrity relative. In addition, during the game of telephone, the contestants had to memorize and recite two limericks in order to retell them correctly. One of the lines was, "But his hair was too long," which might refer to Adam's celebrity relative.

During the week 4 interrogation challenge, Adam told several lies about his celebrity relative, including that he was an actor who'd appeared in the movie The Internship and the TV show Friends. He also admitted that his celebrity relative won a Grammy Award. Mackenzie shared that she and her fellow contestants were certain that Adam was related to an actor, such as David Schwimmer or Owen Wilson. Danny thought that Adam was lying about his celebrity relative winning a Grammy.

During Claim to Fame season 3 week 5, Adam revealed a personal detail to Danny, which was that he grew up in special education. He also told Mackenzie that his celebrity relative babysat for Paula Abdul as his side hustle when he moved to California. Mackenzie then realized that Adam's celebrity relative couldn't be Owen Wilson because he wouldn't be old enough to babysit Paula, but Shane didn't know if Adam was being truthful.

While looking at the Clue Wall with Hud and Shane, Adam tried to deflect attention from his celebrity relative by saying that the lightning bolt might refer to David Bowie. During the senses challenge, the lightning bolt clue returned, paired with a mullet. Adam said that it was "too close for comfort," and tried to steer his partner Hud in the direction of electricity, rather than the word bolt.

Related Claim To Fame Shouldn’t Have A Week One Elimination It's always thrilling to see who the contestants are related to on Claim to Fame, but the competitors shouldn't have to make guesses during week one.

Adam Is Most Likely Related To Singer Michael Bolton

The Clues Point In Michael's Direction

Close

Although it hasn't been confirmed in Claim to Fame season 3 yet, Adam's clues reveal that he's related to singer Michael Bolton. Michael was very popular during the 1980s and 1990s, and has won two Grammy Awards. Because Michael isn't an actor, that would be Adam's lie, so Michael would be his uncle. The lightning bolt clue would refer to Michael's last name.

In addition, Adam has a raspy voice that's similar to Michael's. He also looks a lot like him. The Claim to Fame season 3 telephone game clue about long hair also might be a reference to Michael. When Michael first began his career, he was known for his long hair, which was his signature look. This is also why there was a mullet paired with the lightning bolt during the senses challenge.

Time will tell if Adam's fellow Claim to Fame contestants figure out that he's related to Michael. Although his fellow contestants want him out of the game, they haven't been successful in guessing him so far, with two wrong guesses of Dustin Hoffman (Gracie Lou) and Owen Wilson (Dedrick). If his Wine Room clue is chosen by someone, it might be very revealing, but no one has picked it yet. Michael Bolton s a very popular singer with a very distinct and recognizable voice, and people of any generation would know who he is. Claim to Fame season 3 is heating up, and, hopefully, Adam will be able to keep his identity under wraps.

Claim to Fame airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.
