Format

Twelve contestants, each of whom has a famous relative, move into a house together and are tasked with deducing which celebrities the other contestants are related to while also keeping their own celebrity relationship a secret. Every episode, the contestants participate in a competition. The winner is granted immunity for the round and a bonus clue about another contestant.

At the end of the episode, the contestants secretly vote between the two lowest-ranked performers in the competition to be the round's "guesser". The guesser will then choose any other non-immune contestant and announce which celebrity they think the other contestant is related to. If the guesser is correct, the other contestant will be eliminated; if the guesser is wrong, the guesser will be eliminated instead.

The final contestant remaining wins $100,000.

Reception

Critical response

Stephanie Morgan of Common Sense Media gave the series two stars out of five and said that the show will, "appeal only to viewers old enough to recognize the celebrities referenced," adding on, "many of the celebrities are either too niche, or too old, for younger viewers to recognize -- making the big reveals less and less satisfying."[30] Entertainment Weekly described the show as, "a bit of a Frankenstein's monster — part Big Brother, part The Masked Singer, a pinch of The Other Two", saying that, "It's almost impossible not to play along".[31]

Notes
  1. Some contestants chose to play under aliases, not revealing their real names until their eliminations. These players are listed by their real names, with their game alias listed in parentheses.
  2. Norris was caught on camera having smuggled in and using a smartphone, a violation of the show's rules. Had Norris not been disqualified, Pepper would have incorrectly guessed his relative to be Steven Spielberg.[11]
  3. As a result of winning the final challenge, L.C. was able to pick the final two guessers of the season, choosing Logan to guess Pepper's celebrity relative, and choosing herself to then guess Logan's celebrity relative.
  4. Although Lark and Louise won the challenge, no immunity was given out and they picked themselves as the bottom two, with Lark subsequently voted to be the guesser.
