Tom Hanks’s nobody niece, Carly Reeves, had an entitled freak-out recently during the elimination round of America’s latest dumb reality show called Claim To Fame.

In this groundbreaking show, peeps try to guess other peeps’ claim to fame while they stay in the same house and do all kinds of pointless challenges. Like saying ‘like’ a lot. It’s as stupid as it sounds and pretty much involves people leaching a little limelight from their famous families.

Famous-adjacent Reeves was the first contestant to be eliminated in the latest offering from reality-tv hell. Reeves vented her spleen at a ‘guesser’ who figured out that she was related to Forrest Gump, and her nailbiting elimination scene descended into a screaming tantrum.

Screeching like a banshee on crack, Reeves went tearing through the contestant house with cries of “I deserve more camera time!”, and “I didn’t even get to do any challenges!” Some dude named Gabriel also came under fire as she wailed about the clues being too obvious: “Even Gabriel found that out, and he’s not even smart.”

Poor vacant-eyed Gabriel. Then again, he’s still on the show, so who’s the smart one now? Also, life is like a box of chocolates and you never know when some dumbass named Gabriel is going to steal your spotlight.

Reeves is the cousin of Rita Wilson, Tom’s wife, so she’s best described as almost famous by marriage, or something along those lines.

What is more clear is that the whole freak-out felt very choreographed, albeit a little clumsy, and the heiress to the Bubba Gump fortune managed to self-sensor her swearing to an outraged “freakin this and freakin that”, perhaps knowing that her dramatic exit stage left might be cut short if she let loose with a proper ‘f***’.

Every minute of airtime counts.

Ugh, the whole show is as sad as her behaviour. Claim To Fame sees twelve contestants, ‘each of whom has a famous relative, move into a house together where they are tasked with deducing which celebrities the other contestants are related to while also keeping their own celebrity relationship a secret’.

It’s hosted by two of the Jonas brothers, which probably adds some genuine celebrity to the whole mudpie. Prize money for the winner also amounts to a whopping $100 000 (R1,8 million), which is yet another clue to the tedious esteem of the show. It reminds me of The Ring, except it’s a different kind of scary, and after you watched it everything tastes like guava and you get pink-eye.

In case anyone from kykNET reads this, I once spent a day hunting with Bles Bridges, so how’s about a reality show starring me and the guy who drove the bakkie? We demand some freakin’ camera time.

Until kykNET responds, have a look at the sad scene below. Hope you like guavas.

For the record, Bles Bridges was a legend and the nearest thing Afrikaans music will ever have to Julio Iglesias. And his hair smelt terrific. That’s why Riaan Cruywagen still wears it.

Also, please stop watching this sh **.
