Claim to Fame season 3 had some incredible celebrity relative reveals. Find out who every contestant was related to and how their clues proved it.
Danny Is Related To Singer Marc Anthony
Clues About Music, Movies, & Jennifer Lopez Gave Away Danny’s Identity
Hud was immediately able to figure out that the second part of Danny’s Wine Room clue meant,“superstar singer who fell for JLo.“After consulting with Mackenzie and Dedrick, who both agreed that the clue referred to one of Jennifer Lopez’s exes, Adam realized that the clue revealed singer Marc Anthony, which Mackenzie and Dedrick confirmed.
OtherClaim to Fameseason 3 clues became clear after their discovery as well.Adam noticed a wooden letter Jhanging low from the Clue Wall, which also referred to JLo. Mackenzie realized that Marc and JLo went through a very famous divorce, so the"alimony"clue from the week 2 spelling challenge might refer to that. In addition, during the senses challenge,Danny was able to recognize the sound of bongos because he was"super familiar"with them because his celebrity relative has them in his music all the time. This referred to Marc’s salsa music.
There were also other clues about Marc that the contestants didn’t pick up on. Because Marc’s a Latin singer, maracas are often featured in his music.Maracas appeared on the Clue Wall and"maracas"was also a word in the week 2 spelling challenge. In addition, in the week 3 telephone game challenge, one of the limerick lines was,“So they shipped her right off to the island,“which could possibly be a reference to Marc’s Puerto Rican heritage. Also, Marc was born in New York City, and Naomi and Adam had discussed Danny’s New York accent.
There were also clues about Marc’s role in the 2004 film,Man on Fire.Danny’s full Wine Room clue can be interpreted to say,“Man on Fire conquered music who fell for JLo.“The sound of fire was also paired with the bongos clue during the senses challenge.Man on Firewas also a clue in the week 6 challenge because Marc co-starred with Dakota Fanning and Denzel Washington in the film.
When Danny was eliminated, he told everyone thathis real name is Nael Daniel Zayas. He said that his uncle is Marc Anthony, whom he called the greatest salsa singer of all-time. He said that he’d won multiple Billboard Music and Grammy Awards, and had starred in movies.

He added thathe came in not expecting to get as far as he did in the game, and admitted that he thought he wouldn’t make it past the talent show.
Throughoutthe first half ofClaim to Fameseason 3, Danny did a great job of keeping his celebrity relative’s identity a secret, while working to figure out those of his fellow contestants, including Dedrick. His fellow contestants figured him out, but he still managed to stay in the game. Unfortunately, he became the guesser and was duped by Mackenzie’s plan to make her fellow contestants believe that she was related to Blake Shelton.
