Monay, real name Jerrica Brooks (daughter of comedian J.B. Smoove), played a strong game in Claim to Fame Season 2, which came to a close on August 28 on ABC. Arguably the season’s best strategist, she came in second place behind Gabriel Cannon, whose finale challenge win gave him the power to decide the order of the final Guess-Offs, setting the stage for his win. While Jerrica proved to have the best pop culture knowledge of the cast, she was one of the many who fell victim to the Elton John theory. Chris Osmond‘s claim to fame was father Donny Osmond, but it took the young cast the entire season to bring up his name as a possibility. Somehow, Hugo Wentzel (President Jimmy Carter’s grandson) was convinced the British musician was from Utah, and he had Jerrica, J.R., and ...

Nick Cannon’s brother Gabriel is thankful he has Google as a reminder when it comes down to naming his many nieces and nephews.
Gabriel spoke about Nick being a dad of 12 during his “Claim to Fame” winner’s interview with Entertainment Weekly.
When asked if he’d met and could name all of Nick’s kids, Gabriel replied, “I haven’t met them, but did y’all see what happened with him? He messed up [naming] all his kids, so I’m not even gonna attempt. I’m just uncle. It’s easy.”

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for the Claim to Fame Season 2 finale.] Gabriel Cannon would like to clear up some things from Claim to Fame Season 2. We predicted early on that the boisterous character was related to Nick Cannon. And as revealed in the August 28 Claim to Fame finale, we were right! Gabriel, last name Cannon, is the younger brother of The Masked Singer judge, but no one in the cast had the chance to test the Cannon theory. Gabriel won Claim to Fame Season 2 when correctly guessing Monay was related to J.B. Smoove. Monay knocked Chris out of the game just moments before by (finally) correctly guessing his relative was Donny Osmond. TV Insider caught up with Gabriel to talk about his win, and we had to ask him about one lie he spun early on in the season that, for us, made it obvious his famous family member is the Drumline star. The clue in question ...

Claim to Fame just crowned another successful winner.
Gabriel Cannon walked away with $100,000, the title of the second Claim to Fame winner of the series, and as part of the most buzzed-about season yet.
The charismatic player was fun to watch all season and was such a deceptively good player that one of the most satisfying moments of the finale was knowing that first-boot Carly had to eat her words about the man she assumed was "too dumb" to figure anything out actually outplayed them all well.
Of course, the road to this point was unpredictable, and the two-hour finale made it unclear who would walk away with the win.
The finale delivered some twists, turns, and potentially damaging flaws in this game setup that must be rectified.

ABC’s Claim to Fame Season 2 is almost over, and the winner gets to take home the grand prize. So far this season, fans have watched the relatives of famous folks attempt to hide their identity from the others in the house. And the final celeb relative standing wins. Here’s what the winner receives.
[Spoiler alert: Claim to Fame Season 2 spoilers below regarding the finale.]
What does the ‘Claim to Fame’ Season 2 winner get?
The Claim to Fame Season 2 winner receives $100,000.
Compared to other reality TV shows currently on the air, $100,000 doesn’t feel like much. Survivor and The Amazing Race — both CBS reality competition shows — offer $1 million grand prizes. With that said, $100,000 is still a good chunk of change. Season 1 winner Loreal Palmer, Keke Palmer’s older sister, explained what she planned to do with her earnings after she won.
“I want to start my own production company,” she told USA Today.
