Kicking things off we have Logan.
Fan theories are already starting, and people think Logan might be related to Tom Holland.
Other guesses include country music star Jason Aldean, after Logan made is entrance wearing a black cowboy hat.
And the clues may well back this up as Logan has revealed his famous relative is his cousin and a musician who’s won a country music award.
The clue wall dropped a hint with a tractor – and that links to Aldean too, who sang Big Green Tractor.
Logan is already picking up loads of fans on social media and to the delight of many revealed he is single.

Louise

Fans have been guessing about Louise’s famous family member[/caption]
A follower on Claim To Fame’s Instagram page wrote: “Louise is giving me Simone Biles [vibes].”
It looks like this fan could be right, because it is being claimed Louise is actually Adria Biles (Louise is her middle name).
Which means her celebrity relative could be her sister, Olympic hero, Simone Biles.
Fans of the show are loving Louise despite saying she’s too easy to guess.
One posted: “I wanna be like Louise on #ClaimtoFame because everyone knows she’s related to Simone Biles but no one’s eliminating her because they like her so much LOL.”
Maxwell – OUT
![](https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/07/NINTCHDBPICT000745197354.jpg?strip=all&w=640)
Maxwell was asked to leave Claim To Fame for breaking the rules[/caption]
We know that Maxwell is the grandson of Chuck Norris as he has already been disqualified from the show.
Moments before fellow contestant Pepper was due to guess the celebrity connection of Maxwell, the Claim To Fame director interrupted and pulled the hosts off camera.
Host Kevin informed the participants that Maxwell had brought a phone into the house, which he was caught using on camera.
So Maxwell was disqualified from the competition.
Maxwell said on the show: “If the phone wasn’t seen, I would’ve been celebrating tonight. I broke the rule.”
Michael – OUT
![](https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/07/NINTCHDBPICT000745197409.jpg?strip=all&w=640)
Fans think Michael is related to Zendaya[/caption]
Claim To Fame viewers were convinced that Michael is related to actress of the moment, Zendaya.
He did reveal that his relative is an actress and that her biggest award was an Emmy.
Michael was eliminated in week two after he was unveiled as Zendaya’s cousin, Cubb Coleman.
Fellow contestant Pepper correctly guessed his famous relative, leading to his exit.

Who is Claim To Fame star Pepper related to?[/caption]
Pepper is so far a tricky one to work out.
She is keeping her cards close to her chest and not revealing much.
All we have learned about Pepper is that her relative is a male figure, who is NOT a comedian.
X – OUT
![](https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/07/NINTCHDBPICT000745197404.jpg?strip=all&w=640)
Can you guess who X is related to?[/caption]
Fans are loving X.
Claim To Fame followers thought he might possibly be related to Orange Is The New Black star Laverne Cox.
And they proved to be right as X, whose was born Reginald Lamar Cox but is known as M Lamar, was guessed in week three and was eliminated.
Lamar is a composer and played his twin sister’s character pre-transition in two episodes of the Netflix show Orange Is the New Black.
Dominique – OUT

Dominique is wowing viewers[/caption]
Dominique was revealed to be the daughter of American civil rights activist Al Sharpton.
She was the fifth person to exit the show and said her dad was a staunch supporter, committed to watching her on the show every night.
“He texts me his feedback. I hear that he’s been nodding (off) in the office because he goes to bed early, and the show comes on late,” she told USAToday, adding: “To have his support means a whole lot to me.”
Amara

Amara is the granddaughter of Whoppi Goldberg[/caption]
Well we know who Amara is related to, and that is Whoopi Goldberg.
She is in fact the Hollywood star’s granddaughter.
One of the clues she gave the rest of the contestants – who are yet to find out who she is – was that her “famous relative is her grandmother”, followed by, “she’s best known for being an actor”.
Brittany – OUT
![](https://www.the-sun.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/07/NINTCHDBPICT000745197350.jpg?strip=all&w=640)
Fans think Brittany has a The Hills relative[/caption]
Brittany said in her promo video she “has to win the game” – but unfortunately for her she’s not winning this one.
Fan theories so far include Lauren Conrad’s sister, or Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor’s daughter.
Another follower thought she could be related to Melissa McCarthy.
However, it as revealed on Monday, August 1, 2022, that her real name is Brittany Favre-Mallion, and she is the daughter of former Green Bay Packers’ star Brett Favre.
Brittany became the fourth to leave the show.

We are still no further in working out who Kai is related to.
She has revealed her relative is a famous female and is a Grammy award winner.
But we still don’t know if she is telling the truth or not.
One fan suggested she was related to Tiffany Haddish, and others are backing that theory saying that she is the comedian’s sister.

‘Quordle’ today: Here are the answers and hints for August 16
![Close on a woman's hands as she plays Quordle on a smartphone](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/articles/03PstFZqPP80UgS9FE3KBac/hero-image.jpg)
Did you know we’re now more than halfway through August? But if you’re only halfway through today’s Quordle, you still have two words left to decode before you can rest easy.
But stick with us, and we’ll get you through it. You can jump to the bottom of the page for the full solution, or give our full strategy guide a breezy read-through, and maybe the answers will magically appear in your head. No pressure either way. We don’t even know you, and we’re not here to judge.
What is Quordle?
Quordle is a five-letter word guessing game similar to Wordle, except each guess applies letters to four words at the same time. You get nine guesses instead of six to correctly guess all four words. It looks like playing four Wordle games at the same time, and that is essentially what it is. But it’s not nearly as intimidating as it sounds.
Is Quordle harder than Wordle?
Yes, though not diabolically so.
Where did Quordle come from?
Amid the Wordle boom of late 2021 and early 2022, when everyone was learning to love free, in-browser, once-a-day word guessing games, creator Freddie Meyer says he took inspiration from one of the first big Wordle variations, Dordle — the one where you essentially play two Wordles at once. He took things up a notch, and released Quordle on January 30. Meyer’s creation was covered in The Guardian six days later, and now, according to Meyer, it attracts millions of daily users. Today, Meyer earns modest revenue from Patreon, where dedicated Quordle fans can donate to keep their favorite puzzle game running.
How is Quordle pronounced?
“Kwordle.” It should rhyme with “Wordle,” and definitely should not be pronounced exactly like “curdle.”
Is Quordle strategy different from Wordle?
Yes and no.
Your starting strategy should be the same as with Wordle. In fact, if you have a favorite Wordle opening word, there’s no reason to change that here. We suggest something rich in vowels, featuring common letters like C, R, and N. But you do you.
After your first guess, however, you’ll notice things getting out of control if you play Quordle exactly like Wordle.
What should I do in Quordle that I don’t do in Wordle?
Solving a Wordle puzzle can famously come down to a series of single letter-change variations. If you’ve narrowed it down to “-IGHT,” you could guess “MIGHT” “NIGHT” “LIGHT” and “SIGHT” and one of those will probably be the solution — though this is also a famous way to end up losing in Wordle, particularly if you play on “hard mode.” In Quordle, however, this sort of single-letter winnowing is a deadly trap, and it hints at the important strategic difference between Wordle and Quordle: In Quordle, you can’t afford to waste guesses unless you’re eliminating as many letters as possible at all times.
Guessing a completely random word that you already know isn’t the solution, just to eliminate three or four possible letters you haven’t tried yet, is thought of as a desperate, latch-ditch move in Wordle. In Quordle, however, it’s a normal part of the player’s strategic toolset.
Is there a way to get the answer faster?
In my experience Quordle can be a slow game, sometimes dragging out longer than it would take to play Wordle four times. But a sort of blunt-force guessing approach can speed things up. The following strategy also works with Wordle if you only want the solution, and don’t care about having the fewest possible guesses:
Try starting with a series of words that puts all the vowels (including Y) on the board, along with some other common letters. I’ve had good luck with the three words: “NOTES,” “ACRID,” and “LUMPY.” YouTuber DougMansLand suggests four words: “CANOE,” “SKIRT,” “PLUMB,” and “FUDGY.”
Most of the alphabet is now eliminated, and you’ll only have the ability to make one or two wrong guesses if you use this strategy. But in most cases you’ll have all the information you need to guess the remaining words without any wrong guesses.
If you’ve already run out of strategy, though, and you’re still stumped, here are some hints:

Synonyms for all four words are in the following sentence (in no particular order).

Are there any double or triple letters in today’s Quordle words?
One of the words has a letter that occurs twice.
Are any rare letters being used in today’s Quordle like Q or Z?
Yes. The last letter of the alphabet.
What do today’s Quordle words start with?
S, B, P, and A.

Microsoft lost quite a bit of goodwill by forcing the Microsoft Edge browser on uninterested users — but maybe those days are nearing an end? For a possible preview of the future, check this GIF from Leopeva64, who has a future version of Google’s Chrome web browser on their machine, alongside the 2H22 update to Windows 10.
As of this March, switching your default browser in Windows 11 had already been improved to take just a few clicks in a settings menu, but you can see how the older Windows 10 is even cleaner than that. And with the Chrome and Windows 10…
Walmart Plus subscribers are about to get a lot of streaming content for free

Walmart has looked at the field of streaming services and finally settled on Paramount Plus as a partner to bundle into its subscription service, Walmart Plus. The company is hoping all those plus signs will help it compete with Amazon, its biggest rival in the “ship everything under the sun directly to a customer’s home” department.
Rumors of a possible partnership first emerged last week when The New York Times reported that Walmart was eyeing Paramount, Comcast, and Disney as possible partners. Earlier today, The Wall Street Journal reported that a deal had been signed between Walmart and Paramount. This was followed not long afterward by a press release from Walmart confirming the news and announcing that Walmart Plus subscribers…
