[Warning: The following post contains MAJOR spoilers about Claim to Fame Season 3’s premiere episode, “Almost Unfamous.”]
Declare to Fame is again, and the guess-off stage has claimed its first sufferer: Bianca Roberts, niece of Good Morning America‘s Robin Roberts.
On Wednesday’s Season 3 premiere episode, the forged dove straight into the motion by introducing themselves with the customary “two truths and a lie” descriptors of their superstar kinfolk and taking part in within the expertise present. In a short time, alliances started to kind between the 11 contestants as they tried to suss one another out, and when Bianca and Miguel discovered themselves within the backside two and within the vote for the night time’s guesser, tensions obtained even increased.
Bianca was one of many few to kind a guess a few fellow contestant’s superstar relative’s id, drawing an early conclusion that Shane was associated to Forest Whitaker attributable to his seems to be and sure info from the Clue Wall. Miguel, however, had no concept of anybody’s relative and as an alternative ran (actually ran) all through the home begging for supporters to vote Bianca in as an alternative of him.
Miguel’s technique labored, and, sadly, Bianca’s guess about Shane was incorrect, sending her residence first. Her exit as the primary eliminee was much more swish than what we noticed final season, however when TV Insider caught up with Bianca, she revealed why she sympathizes with Carly Reeves now.
What drew you to Declare to Fame?
Bianca Roberts: Effectively, I obtained an invite on Instagram from somebody who was simply saying, “Hey, would you be involved in being on a actuality present?” And I believed it was a joke. I believed it was some form of rip-off at first, after which they informed me to go try Declare to Fame and see what I considered it. And after I noticed it, and I noticed it wasn’t like some tacky courting present or something like that, I used to be like, “Yeah, I’d undoubtedly be involved in doing this.”
Whenever you performed the sport, you confirmed some journalism chops, though your background is actual property. Did you assume that may give away your superstar relative?
I didn’t assume so in any respect. I went into it simply considering nobody goes to determine who I’m associated to. There’s like no approach.
Did you could have any clue about Gracie Lou’s id? I do know you two have been shut.
I didn’t have any clue. And we have been actually shut. That’s the primary one which it was like, “She’s my BFF.” And I had no concept, none in any respect.
Have been you shocked that Miguel’s Hail Mary to win over voters labored? And what was your response to how emotional he was?
what? I wasn’t shocked, and that ought to have been my technique, trying again on it, to actually form of push for, “Please, , preserve me on the present,” that form of factor. However I’m such a laid-back particular person, and I’m very simply float, and I used to be like, no matter will likely be, will likely be. I’m not going to grovel and do all of that. And if it meant that a lot to him, that’s the best way it wanted to play out.
How assured did you’re feeling once you have been going into your guess-off towards Shane?
Oh, I wasn’t assured in any respect. I knew I used to be simply throwing one thing towards the wall. I imply, the earlier [season] the place Tom Hanks’ niece had a complete meltdown and freaked out, was like, “I used to be solely right here for 3 days!” I might completely see why she would have reacted that approach as a result of at that time, there’s actually no info on anybody, so anybody might have simply guessed something. There’s not sufficient time to determine clues. There’s not sufficient info supplied so that you can know something. So I knew I used to be simply throwing a Hail Mary.

Do you assume that because you had talked about your principle that Shane was associated to Forest Whitaker, he would possibly’ve heard about that and inspired the vote so that you can be the guesser?
Most likely. I imply, I’d assume that will be a sensible transfer on his half, if he was like, “Oh yeah, let’s go forward and make her guess as a result of I do know she’s completely off base.” However once more, after I look again on it, I simply know that anybody might have been up there, and whoever was up there would have guessed fallacious as a result of there was no info on anybody.
Final season, the contestants fashioned a gaggle chat after filming. Is that the case with the Season 3 forged?
Completely, we’re all besties. All of us have a gaggle chat. We’re like speaking about the whole lot all day. We’re tremendous excited for the premiere. Can’t wait.
Lastly, since your time was restricted on this season, is there something you need individuals to know that perhaps didn’t come by on display screen?
I would like individuals to know — I don’t know the way it comes throughout, as a result of I haven’t seen it myself, any edits or something, so I actually don’t know the way it performed off — that if I appear to be closed-off and dry or boring, I’m actually not like that in actual life. If I come off like, “Man, she barely mentioned two phrases,” I simply need them to know that’s not like who I really am. And there was some extent there that I had fallen within the background and broke one in every of my nails, and it was bleeding, so I used to be out of a number of the time of filming for a bit bit whereas I obtained handled. I felt like such a dork. I felt I used to be like, “They’re filming and my finger’s bleeding!”
