-What?! -No!

Bret Michaels.
I got nowhere safe to go.

My name's Hud. My celebrity relative's my mom.

with my impeccable wit and charm.
No one knows who you are. You're brilliant.
Yeah, yeah. [ Laughs ]

I think Mackenzie was genuinely, like, trying to be on my side.

"Little Richard."

♪ Going down undefeated ♪
Kevin: Here they come.
-Hi! -Here we go.
[ Cheering ]
Oh, we don't need broken ankles yet.
Welcome to the "Claim to Fame" season three finale challenge.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And, guys, look who's back!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Since your former competitors left the house,
they have remained cut off from the outside world.
But now they're back, baby. Yeah!
And you might need their help to win this final challenge.
I have three humongous billboards behind me... Oh, yeah.
...each containing a massive advertisement for each of you,
but with some pretty revealing clues
about your celebrity relatives tied in.
Oh, [bleep]
Each billboard has seven filters that you will need to remove
one at a time in order to get to the clear,
unobstructed picture lying beneath them.
Only way to do that is by competing in mini versions
of all of our prior challenges.
There are seven stations.
Each station has a key that goes with each player's billboard.
The object is simple, guys --
unlock your competitors' billboards
before they unlock yours. Easy enough, right?
-Yeah. -Right? Easy enough?
Thank God I'm not in it.
At each game, you'll be met by
one of the ghosts of challenges past.
They can either help you finish faster,
or they might just want to slow you down a bit.
None of them look happy to see me.
This isn't looking good for me at all.
At our first station, you'll find a memory game
based on our very first challenge.
To get the key for the competitor of your choice,
you're gonna need to remember
what three talents they displayed.
At our second station,
we're going back to the pond, baby.
You and your eliminated teammate
will need to row out to one of three buoys
and grab a key for the player of your choice.
At our third station,
it's a flashback to our game of Telephone.
You'll have to unlock a competitor's box
with a four-digit padlock on it.
[ Telephone rings ] Work with one of your former contestants
way over there
to help you crack the code using an answer key.
Or you can do it yourself,
but you'll have to run a familiar obstacle course
to get the answer.
Station four is going to take you back
to our Bad Cop challenge.
Three boards representing each finalist
will be on display with five questions
they were asked during their interrogation.
You will need to recall whether they answered yes or no
by turning each knob to green or red.
Answer all five correctly to earn the key.
They were both wrong the whole time.
Station five is where you will get a little senseless again.
Choose a competitor's box
and correctly name the item inside.
However, you can only feel one half of the item,
and your partner can feel the other half.
At our sixth station,
retrace one of your fellow finalists' steps
through the season.
Use the bands to connect the player
to their respective positions for each guess-off
that they've had.
Were they immune, a guesser, a target,
or just a player that night?
Connect the dots correctly, and you get the key.
Finally, get clued in one more time.
Pick which of the finalists you want to fill up
the clue board with.
Nobody got them all right last time,
but if you want to get a key, you cannot get any wrong.
Wow! The player with the last remaining filtered billboard
wins the challenge and will wield a great deal of power
heading into tonight's guess-off.
That individual will be able to pick the first guesser
and the first target of the night,
potentially guaranteeing them a spot in the final two
if they so choose.
Adam: That's a huge advantage.
At this point in the game there is money on the line,
so I have no alliance to either of them.
I have to win this challenge.
Take your places, everyone.
-Whoo! -I love all you guys.

on three, two, one, let's go!
-Go! -Oh, my God!

-What's up, girl? What's up? -Um, ba-da-dum. Adam.
Hud: I'm gonna go for Adam's key first.
We're pretty sure it's Bret Michaels,
but I don't know much about Bret Michaels.
Let's go, big boy.
I've gotta get Adam on the ropes.

Mackenzie: Are you okay?
[ Whistles ]
-How you feeling? -I feel good.
Pretty good. Who are you people?
[ Laughter ]
Everything checks out.
I still got some brain cells left.
I asked them if they could, you know,
possibly put some in, and they said no.
So I'm still playing with what I got,
and it might get me all the way.
Back in a minute.
It's time to plant some seeds of doubt.
Thing is, is I think he knows...
-Yeah. -...my person.
Which I need your help ensuring that he's wrong.
So Toby Keith is what you want him to believe, right? Mm-hmm.
Throughout the entire competition,
Adam has been quite gullible,
and I want to kind of throw him off a little bit,
which will be very easy.
Want to come back with me for a second?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, who do you think about Mackenzie?
'Cause I've been brainstorming.
What names you got?
Oh, wow.
I think he's, like, 6-something.
He's up there. Possibly.
I don't see any clues on Toby Keith at all.
I know that Toby Keith never wore a black hat.
You know who did wear a black hat?
Chet Adkins.
Ah, man, what is his name?
Trace! Trace Adkins.
So you guys are thinking Toby Keith or what?
That's what I've been thinking.
I'm starting to get the sense that there's a little scheme.
But you're not fooling me.
I need a [bleep] revelation. One last one.
I'm feeling super confident.
Dedrick: Not with shots like that.
I have an idea, but I don't think it's right.
-Tell him. -We've talked.
I don't think it's right.
I'm not saying nothing in front of nobody anymore.
Why not? Tell him.
-I'm -- -Shane, just tell him.
All right, I'm done talking.
I ain't said nothing, man.
'80s, '90s,
white boy singing R&B music.
Gets lots of attention from older women.
'80s, '90s. It could only be a few.
I'm saying no more.
Dude, it all just makes perfect sense.

[ Laughter ]
Shut up, shut up!
[ Laughs ]
It just -- it fully clicks.
Oh, my gosh! Thank you, Bianca.
[ Laughs ]
Mission accomplished.
I feel like I can really win this.
Whoo!
It is time for the final guess-off.
-Whoo! -[ Laughs ]
And in just a moment, our champion will be revealed,
and we will find out whether Mackenzie,
Hud, or Adam are going to walk away
and be the winner of $100,000 prize.
-Wow. -That's a lot of money, guys!
Adam, you won the last challenge of the season.
How are you feeling, first of all.
How's the head?
Joe and Nick, it's doing great.
Yeah. Okay, good. Good, good.
You did win the challenge, and for that,
you will be heavily rewarded tonight.
You get to decide who will be our first guesser
and who will be the first target.
Frankie: The player left standing
after the first guess-off will take control
and have the power to decide
if they want to be the target or the guesser
going into the second and final guess-off
of the entire season, guys.
-That's right. -Yikes.
Adam, will you please come to center stage?
-Oh, my gosh. -Made it this far, brother.
Good luck.
This is for everything.
These are all the marbles on the table here.
$100,000 would be nothing short of life-changing.
To be crystal clear, if you decide
not to participate in the first guess-off,
you will not have the power to choose
the guesser or the target in the final guess-off.
The power stays with whomever is left standing
after the first guess-off.
Adam: I got one shot. I'll take it.
Well, now, Adam, who do you choose to join you
in the first guess-off?
Ladies first. I'll start with Mackenzie.
Mackenzie, please come to center stage.
Mackenzie: Thank you.
Adam, the ball is in your court, my man.
I have the choice whether to put it in my hands
and guess Mackenzie,
or maybe I should have Mackenzie be the guesser.
I mean, it's obvious nobody knows who I am here.
And I haven't been good with names most of my life.
No.
"The Wiz." Michael Jackson.
He's called "The Wiz"?
I believe your claim to fame is...
[ Crickets chirping ]
There's a good chance I'm going to screw this up tonight.
-Mackenzie, how you feeling? -I'm okay.
I am 100% confident
that I know who Adam's celebrity relative is.
I know who Adam's related to.
I want to take a shot at Adam.
I made it this far. Like, I have to win.
Adam, who do you want to be the guesser?
I am crossing my fingers. I'm crossing my toes.
Frankie: Adam?
Adam, who do you want to be the guesser?

Well, I played this game my own way.
And tonight I'd like to be the guesser.
Oh! Damn it!
All right, you two, please face each other.
Adam, who do you think is Mackenzie's claim to fame?
Mackenzie, I believe your claim to fame...
Brain, don't fail me now.

I'm so scared. It's not even me.

Hurry home, Mackenzie.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Frankie: Congratulations, Adam.
For now, you may take your seat.
-Ooh! -[ Laughing ] Oh, my gosh!
Mackenzie, please tell us what your real name is.
My name is Mackenzie Adkins.
That is my father, Trace Adkins.
He is the most amazing man I have ever known.
Yeah, I can't wait to tell him all about this.
Kevin: Well, thank you so much, Mackenzie.
You may take your seat.
I was so close to winning,
but honestly, I'm so proud that I made it to the finale.
I met so many amazing people
that will be my friends for life.
[ Laughs ] Okay. Stop.
Okay. Cut the cameras.
I'm blushing. I'm blushing.
-Okay. -Whoo!
Kevin: Only two players remain.
Adam, please take your place center stage one last time.
Adam: I am nervous.
Three seconds ago, I almost lost it.
[ Exhales ]
I can only imagine this close to $100,000
what my brain is going to do this time.
Adam, are you going be the final guesser?
I'm gonna keep it in my hands and be the guesser tonight.
-Wow. -Okay.
-Wow. -Hud, please join Adam.
Who would have thought, baby?
Over the years, my celebrity relative has had several names.
Maybe he knows all of them. Maybe he doesn't.
We outta here.
There's a chance he might get it wrong.
Adam...
who do you think is Hud's claim to fame?
Hud, I believe your claim to fame is...
Adam: John...Cougar Mellencamp?
Jonathan Mellencamp?
...the American treasure John...
...Mellencamp.
Let's see if your guess is correct.

All: Oh!
Hey, Hud, time to come home.
All the Mellencamps miss you.

Adam, that means you have just won...
-You won "Claim to Fame"! -..."Claim to Fame"!

Adam: Is this real? Did I win "Claim to Fame"?
All I could think is, how did I do that?
[ Laughs ] This is just amazing.
Hud, please tell us how you're related
to the incredible John Cougar Mellencamp!
What's up, world? I'm "Hudmoney" Mellencamp.
[ Laughter ]
John Cougar, "The Coug" is my daddy.
Oh, yeah! I love it.
That's my best friend we just saw.
I live a couple minutes away from him.
I walk down to his house every day.
We have breakfast every morning. Aw!
He's helped me out so much in this life.
He's taught me everything he knows.
I love it. You did an incredible, phenomenal job, Hud.
Please take a seat, my man. Thank you, guys.
Congratulations for making it this far. Wow!
Hud: Making it to the finale, I think one of the best things
that I was able to do is form those friendships.
I couldn't have done it by myself, no shot.
I'm a happy guy.
I made some great friends along the way.
Adam, get back up there. What an incredible job.
Absolutely.
You're walking away with $100,000.
-Crazy. -Crazy!
But before we celebrate,
we're gonna find out who you're related to.
-This is it. -Here we go.
Danny: This is it.
[ Beeping, film reel clicking ]
All: Oh!
-Wow. Wow. -Whoa!
-Oh, my God. -The incredible Michael Bolton.
-Amazing. -Come on.
-I didn't see that. -Uncle Michael.
This is from Michael Bolton.
"Congratulations, Adam! We knew you could do it!
I'm sure you played the game like you live your life --
with integrity, determination, and humility.
We are so proud and can't wait to see
where your next great adventure takes you.
Adam, you are awesome. Love, MB."
-Wow. -Wow.
-Whoa! -That's amazing.
Uncle Michael is my mother's brother.
He is the hardest-working man
I've ever seen before in my life.
He's taught me that if you chase your dreams
and you work hard, you can do it
and you could build a great life.
He had a tumor removed from his brain recently,
and he's a strong ox.
They built him strong. Oh, yeah.
Good stuff right there. So incredible.
Adam, you came here to step out of the shadow
of your famous family member.
You have definitely done that, my friend.
-Wow. -Congratulations.
Yes. So spend that money, baby!

Who would have thought ditzy, hippie, and dumb
would have made it to the final?
And then the hippie wins.
Oh, my God.
This is beyond amazing.
Every day from this point,
I'm just gonna keep pinching myself.
Come on. It doesn't get much better than this.
That is it for us here at "Claim to Fame."
We will see you next time.
Good night, everybody. Good night!
