Here's a story that'll warm your heart. Fans of Good Morning America may recognize the name Robin Roberts, the show's charismatic host. But did you know her niece, Bianca Roberts, is making waves on Claim to Fame? Yep, that's right—season 3 of the hit reality show features Bianca, and she's bringing her own flair to the competition.
Who Is Bianca Roberts, the Real Estate Maven?
Bianca Roberts isn't just a familiar face in her family circle; she's also a successful real estate agent. Her journey to the spotlight began with a simple message on Instagram. Who would’ve thought that scrolling through social media could lead to starring in a reality show? "I got a message on Instagram, and someone asked me if I was interested in being on a reality show," Bianca shared with Parade. "I really thought it was a scam." But curiosity got the better of her, and after checking out the show, she was hooked. "I watched it, and I was like, 'Totally.'"
Once Bianca decided to go for it, she filled her aunt Robin in on the exciting opportunity. And guess what? Robin was nothing but supportive. Bianca opened up about her close-knit relationship with her famous aunt. "I mean, she’s just my aunt. When people find out that I’m related to her, they’re like, 'Oh, do you really know her?' I’m like, 'Yeah, I have her phone number. I can call her anytime. I don’t have to be passed through anyone to be in contact with her,'" Bianca explained. "Monthly we get on a call as a family, and we all chat. I am her oldest niece, her first niece. So yeah, we’ve always had a really good relationship."

Why Bianca Got the Boot From 'Claim to Fame'
Even though her time on the show was brief, Bianca certainly left an impression on viewers. In the season 3 premiere, contestants introduced themselves using a fun "two truths and a lie" strategy. It was during this segment that Bianca mentioned her aunt winning a Peabody Award, but it didn't exactly help the others guess her identity.
In the end, Bianca found herself in the bottom two alongside Miguel. She argued that contestant Shane must be related to Forest Whitaker because of their striking resemblance and the clues on the clue wall. Miguel managed to convince the group to vote for Bianca to be the guesser instead of him. Unfortunately, Bianca's guess was incorrect, leading to her elimination.
Despite her short stint on the show, Bianca wanted to set the record straight about who she is outside of the TV world. "I want people to know—if I seem closed-off and dry or boring, I’m really not like that in real life," she told The Baker City Herald after her elimination. "There was a moment where I fell back and broke a nail, and it was bleeding, so I had to step out of filming for a bit while I got treated. I felt like such a dork. I was like, 'They’re filming and my finger’s bleeding!'"
Bianca admitted that she never expected anyone to guess her famous relative right away. "I didn’t think so at all," she confessed. "I went into it just thinking no one is going to figure out who I’m related to. There’s like no way."
