Carly Reeves seems to have another claim to fame besides being a relative of Tom Hanks.

“You guys, I was like, this girl looks SOOO familiar, but thought, ‘I’d never know Tom Hanks’ niece'” Ariana Madix‘s friend Logan Cochran tweeted on Thursday, June 29, after watching the season 2 premiere of Claim fame. “Until I remembered she was a manager @ SUR!!”

Lisa Vanderpump opened in May 2005 SUR, which stands for Sexy Unique Restaurant The Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsthe 62-year-old reality TV star landed her own Vanderpump Rules spinoff to chronicle her life in the restaurant business. Ariana, 38, joined the Bravo cast in Season 2 after previously being hired as a bartender alongside her now-ex Tom Sandoval And Jack Taylor. Fellow costars and show alumni Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney, Stassi Schroeder, Rachel Leviss And Kristen Doute have also worked as servers at Vanderpump’s SUR over the years.

Carly, for her part, hasn’t confirmed the claims that she worked as the eatery’s manager, but she’s making waves for her performance on ABC’s celebrity guessing game. Claim famewhich premiered earlier this month.

About the reality TV competition – which is hosted by Kevin Jones and his youngest brother Franklin Jones – a group of 12 players try to solve clues and riddles that identify their fellow participants based on their relationships with various celebrities. (Family members of eg Simone Biles, Jason Aldean And Keke Palmer previously appeared in season 1 of Claim fame.)

While Carly, 39, had hoped she had hidden her identity well enough, Hugo guessed correctly that Tom, 66, was her uncle at the end of the first episode – and she was having a meltdown.

“These damn clues were so damn clear!” she cried as she packed her bags. “[A] frickin’ couch that’s in the frickin’ poster of frickin’ Forest Gump? Are you joking? Why a sofa? In fact, there are literally no couches in any other movie Gabriel found that out and he’s not even, like, smart!

Carly added, “I didn’t even get a chance to do challenges! I do not deserve this. I should have more camera time. I should be sent out longer!”

That’s what the ABC alum told later Weekly entertainment that she “overreacted” to her elimination. “I was really upset… but I’m an emotional, very dramatic person,” she told the outlet. “I was really angry that I didn’t get the chance to play as long as some of the other participants. I mean, there was no one to be mad at. I was just mad at myself in general and at the fact that I was going home. And then that turned into utter despair and sadness. I’ll even say something like, “I should get more camera time!” That’s so stupid of me to say. But I also just said things from my mouth.

Carly also explained OW that the Big star was “excited” for her to appear on Claim fame and hoped she was doing well. “I hope I’m not embarrassing him, but I don’t think so. So I would love for him to watch it because I think it’s hilarious,” she added. “He’s happy for me anyway. He did ask me, “Did you make some money?” And I was like, ‘Yeah, I made a little bit.’ And he said, ‘OK, good.’ So he was happy that I made some money.

Claim fame airs Mondays on ABC at 8 p.m. ET.
