A video clip of a US reality TV show featuring celebrity relationships has gone viral after Tom Hanks’ niece exploded after being eliminated in week one.
Claim To Fame, hosted by musician Kevin Jonas and his younger brother Frankie, sees a collection of unknown celeb relatives are moved into a house and have to deduce who they are related to.
Every episode, the contestants participate in challenges, where the winner is granted immunity for the round and a bonus clue about another contestant. At the end of the episode, the contestants secretly vote between the two lowest-ranked performers in the competition to be the round's 'guesser'.
Ultimately the guesser will then choose any other non-immune contestant and announce which celebrity they think the other contestant is related to. If the guesser is correct, the other contestant will be eliminated; if the guesser is wrong, the guesser will be eliminated instead. The overall winner takes homer $100,000 (£78,690.59).
Songwriter and podcaster Rob Milton shared a clip of the show’s first episode ending, where contestant Hugo correctly identified Carly’s relative. It showed Tom Hank’s niece crying as she stormed off into the house.
Carly then proceeded to shriek from inside the house, heard by all of the other contestants, yelling: “The clues were so fricking obvious! Fricking bench and the fricking poster of fricking Forrest Gump, are you kidding me!?”
As she entered the bedroom, she wailed: “Why a bench? Why a bench? There’s literally no reference to benches on any other movie. Even Gabriel found that out, he’s not even, like, smart.”
Carly continued to pack up her suitcase, rummaging through the walk-in closet. “I don’t deserve this!” she cried. “I should have more camera time, I should be here longer.”
Rob’s clip has been viewed over a whopping 13.4million times, racking up 1,945 Retweets, 2,727 Quote Tweets and over 26,800 likes. Viewers were shocked at Carly’s reaction, claiming the contestants made the right choice to send her home.
One person said: “Lmfooooooo they absolutely made the right choice cause girl gon on wit all that.”
Another wrote: “I want an entire show of just her with a hot mic walking through life. At the grocery store, the DMV, Wal-Mart.”
A third commented, “I bet Tom Hanks’s cookouts be wild whenever his niece come over,” while a fourth replied, “Why is Tom Hanks' family like this? Collin is the only good seed”.
However, some believed Carly was right to be annoyed, saying: “She’s right there is no chance he could have known this, this early. The producers told him who she was. They must have had an idea she would react this way.”
Carly is the daughter of Tom Hanks' wife Rita Wilson's sister, making her his niece through marriage.
