Another Claim to Fame contestant has just been told to beat it.
During the ABC competition series' Aug. 7 episode, season three contestant Dedrick was eliminated after landing in the bottom and failing to correctly guess the celebrity relative of fellow competitor Adam, who he thought was part of Owen Wilson's family.
However, Dedrick's reveal confirmed several castmates' suspicions that he was a member of Michael Jackson's famous family.
"I apologize, the name is not Dedrick," he told his costars after being sent home. "Me and pops share the same name and it's Sigmund Jackson. My dad is Jackie Jackson. So, I couldn't talk about none of family because they're all superstars. Most of them got stars on the Walk of Fame."
And Sigmund couldn't help but call out the connection between the Jackson 5 singer and the remaining contestants vying for the $100,000 prize.
"For me to actually be sitting up here with five of ya'll left, yo that's a magic number," the 47-year-old, who goes by Siggy, added. "This was beautiful."
However, Sigmund wasn't totally shocked by his elimination.
"From the beginning they've been shooting my name everywhere, so it was really difficult to hide who I am," he admitted in a confessional. "But at the same time, I can't say I would've changed my plan. I targeted Adam tonight because I felt that was my best shot I had. I have no regrets. None."
But Sigmund's choice to call out Adam had some of his fellow competitors puzzled—especially after the cast thought they had deduced who Danny was related to.
"Tonight went absolutely not how anybody was suspecting," Mackenzie recounted in a confessional. "We were hoping that Dedrick would get Danny out, but Dedrick decided to take a shot at Adam instead. Adam has been a target for a few Guess-Offs now. So who the hell is Adam? We don't know."
Keep reading to see all the celebrity relatives who have been revealed this season. Plus, find out who's still in the game.
Claim to Fame airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on ABC.
During the season three premiere, Bianca was revealed to be the niece of longtime Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts.
Gracie Lou, whose real name is just Gracie, tried to convince her competitors she was from Tennessee, but was ultimately uncovered to be Jon Cryer's niece.
Jill was revealed to be the niece of Full House star John Stamos.
Miguel, whose real name is actually Raphael Curtis, is the newphew of Oscar-winning Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis.
After previously hinting her relative was a "Brat Pack princess," it was revealed Naomi's aunt is '80s film icon Molly Ringwald.
Dedrick's real name turned out to be Sigmund Jackson, the same birth name as his father and Jackson 5 alum Jackie Jackson, older brother of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson.
Clue: After first claiming his relative was a famous actor, he later confirmed the star is actually a singer.
Clue: During "Two Truths and a Lie," Mackenzie revealed she was lying about her relative being a Tony winner, meaning that her relative is her father and a singer.
Clue: Danny teased that his relative is a wrestler who has won a Grammy.
Clue: Hud's family member is a Grammy-winning singer.
