After the talent competition on Wednesday's show, Gracie Lou won immunity, and Bianca and Miguel were the bottom two.
This meant that their fellow houseguests had to pick one of them to be the guesser for the night.
Whoever was chosen to be the guesser had to pick another houseguest and correctly identify their claim to fame.
Ultimately, the house went with Bianca to be the guesser.

She called up Shane and guessed that he was related to actor Forest Whitaker.
However, Bianca was wrong and when a guesser guesses wrong, they are eliminated from the competition.
NOT SO GOOD
The timer counted down and when her celebrity relative appeared on the screen, the entire house was shocked.
"Hi everybody. I'm Robin Roberts and this is my niece, Bianca," Robin, 63, said on the screen.

"You've always been something special, but now you're venturing outside your comfort zone, staking your claim to fame, who would've thought it?"
"Your family thought it because you have been the star of our family all along," Robin signed off as Auntie Robin and gave Bianca heart hands.

Host Kevin Jonas said he "should've known" because Robin is a longtime friend of the family.
The rest of the houseguests were shocked and had no idea.
Contestant Dedrick admitted in a confessional that he watched Robin every morning on Good Morning America.
Another contestant, Mackenzie, admitted that she has no idea who anyone in the house is related to.

SORRY, MR. JACKSON
The episode ended with the contestants sitting around the dining room table eating and talking.
Some of them were showing off their "magic" skills and performing amateur magic tricks.
When Miguel pretended to put a spoon up his nose, Dedrick blew his cover.
"I can't do that in front of my kids because they'll actually try that," Dedrick said.
"The problem is I'll walk into the ER or something and they'll be like, 'For real, Mr. Jackson again?'"
No one said anything, but the look on Dedrick's face was one of regret.
He realized what he had said at that moment.
In a confessional, Naomi figured it out.
"Holy s**t. He called himself Mr. Jackson. He said it so quickly and then tried to glaze over it. I think that was a true accident," she said.
"He does actually look like one of Michael Jackson's brothers. Plus, everyone knows that's Michael Jackson was in The Wiz and there's a scarecrow on the clue wall."
"He's related to an actual icon. My head is spinning," Naomi finished.
Michael Jackson comes from a very big family.
'NOT CONFIDENT AT ALL'
Bianca talked to TV Insider about her elimination and if she had confidence in the guess-off.
"Oh, I wasn’t confident at all. I knew I was just throwing something against the wall," she told the outlet.
"There’s really no information on anyone, so anyone could have just guessed anything."

"There’s not enough time to figure out clues. There’s not enough information provided for you to know anything. So I knew I was just throwing a Hail Mary," Bianca continued.
Claim to Fame airs on ABC on Wednesdays at 9/8c, and the next day on Hulu.
