Claim to Fame season 3 finale: Hud is John Mellencamp’s son

Even before the start of Claim to Fame season 3, let’s be honest: Some viewers knew that Hud was the son of John Mellencamp. After all, he had made an appearance on Vanderpump Rules in the past — but luckily, nobody else on the season saw it. He was able to skate by all the way to the finale, through there were a lot of clues close to the end.

The good news for Hud is pretty simple: A lot of people wanted to protect him. He was not the first person who people wanted to eliminate. Instead, a lot of the attention was pointed more on Adam, who had been a target for the vast majority of the season. Even after he was temporarily at the hospital to get his head stapled, they were still looking to target him!

Unfortunately for Hud, he made the mistake of going too hard after Mackenzie in that first challenge. His social game was good, but you need to do well in the challenges at the same exact time! Also, there were enough clues for Adam to pick up on throughout that challenge — the only thing that almost tripped him up was which name to call the legendary singer by.

After his relative was revealed, Hud did share a little bit of the story of him and his dad. The two live close to each other, and he said that he goes over and has breakfast with him every morning. We do think he’s left the show with a lot of great friends, and also has a chance for people to know him a little bit more for exactly who he is. There’s a lot to celebrate about, even if he did finish as the runner-up for the season.
