Claim to Fame: '80s Brat Pack Legend's Relative Revealed

An '80s film icon just made a cameo on Claim to Fame.
Contestant Naomi was eliminated during the ABC reality competition series' July 31 episode after costar Adam correctly guessed her celebrity relative—the first accurate guess of season three so far.
However, Adam admitted to having no idea who the legendary actress was when he guessed. So, which household name was revealed?
The one and only Molly Ringwald!
"Hi, Claim to Fame," the original Brat Pack member shared in a home video message to the eliminated hopeful. "You figured it out, I'm Molly Ringwald and Naomi Burns is my cousin. Anyway, sorry Naomi. I hope you had a great time and come home. Your family misses you."
As for how Adam got it right? Naomi had previously confided in fellow competitor Hud, who secretly told Adam to reveal Molly's name during the elimination.
"Hud told Adam my secret," an upset Naomi admitted in a confessional. "I feel super played."
But Molly wasn't the first Pretty in Pink cast member to shock the season three cast, as cohost Kevin Jonas pointed out, "We had Molly Ringwald and Jon Cryer. Who else do we have?! Wow!"
When it came time for Naomi to say goodbye, she shared insight into her sweet bond with the actress.
"My name is Naomi Burns and when I was a teenager, I moved in with my cousin Molly's parents," she recounted. "They helped raise me and I got extremely close with her because of that. I was able to have experiences and go places and do things I never would have been able to do otherwise."
"I have so much love and respect for her," she added. "I'm so thankful that I came here and met most of you guys and I had a frickin' amazing time."
But not winning the $100,000 prize wasn't the hardest part of Naomi's send-off.
"I'm not disappointed that I got eliminated, I'm very disappointed in how I got eliminated," she shared in a confessional. "I had Hud's back and then I ended up getting screwed over. I feel like I want to stab two men in their feet with pencils that aren't really sharp."
