Now, viewers want to find out who went home on Claim to Fame this week. It is none other than Dedrick, but his eviction has a twist. So, what was so surprising about Dedrick’s exit from Claim to Fame Season 3?
Here is everything you need to know about the contestant and the latest events on the show.
What is the real and full name of Dedrick from Claim to Fame Season 3?
Dedrick’s full name is Sigmund Jackson Jr.
Since the beginning, contestants have been suspecting Dedrick’s real identity. However, the reason behind him hiding his true identity was due to his well-known family.
Is Dedrick/Sigmund Jackson Jr. related to Michael Jackson?
Yes, Dedrick/Sigmund Jackson Jr. is related to Michael Jackson. He is the son of Sigmund Jackson Sr., aka Jackie, the older brother of the legendary pop sensation.
After Dedrick was eliminated, he apologized to everyone for hiding his real identity. The contestant was not surprised at his eviction as it was difficult to keep his connection a secret for long. He further revealed that he and his father share the same name. So, this would have made it easy for others to guess his celebrity connection. He also shared that he could not open up about his family as they were all superstars.
Why was Dedrick eliminated from Claim to Fame Season 3?
Dedrick/Sigmund Jr. was eliminated after he failed to guess the connection of Adam, who he thought was related to Owen Wilson.
However, Sigmund Jr.’s decision to choose Adam in the tight spot left his co-contestants confused. The cast, especially Mackenzie, felt that Sigmund would go for Danny as they found out his connection.
However, Sigmund had no regrets about his decision, deeming it his best shot. He further expressed his gratitude for sitting with the final contestants, describing it as a beautiful experience. Following Sigmund’s elimination, the stakes have increased for the finale. Adam, Mackenzie, Danny, Shane, and Hud are the five contestants remaining on the show.
Viewers can watch the new episodes of Claim to Fame Season 3 every Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.
