The Claim to Fame series is on its way to becoming a staple of ABC’s summer schedule. However, for the past two years, it was paired with The Bachelorette, one of the network’s highly-rated summer shows. Now, we’ll get to see how Claim to Fame can perform without the draw of a Bachelor Nation show. Will it be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned.
A competition reality series, the Claim to Fame TV show is co-hosted by siblings Kevin and Frankie Jonas. The show looks at people who are on the fringe of celebrity, just out of the spotlight. This series challenges 12 celebrity relatives to step outside their famous family member’s shadow and to live together under one roof. They conceal their identity and lineage in a quest for their own fame and fortune. Over the course of a season, the relatives compete in challenges, form alliances, and play DNA detectives in hopes of avoiding elimination. Their goal is to win the coveted $100,000 prize and to stake their own “claim to fame”.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

For comparisons: Season two of Claim to Fame on ABC averaged a 0.31 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.07 million viewers.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the Claim to Fame TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
