Tom Hanks' Niece Addresses Her "Shocked" Claim to Fame Exit

Carly's exit during the season's first episode means she won't get a chance at the $100,000 prize, which is awarded to whichever contestant can successfully hide their identity for the duration of the show.

"I felt like I didn't get as easy a game as everyone else," she continued to USA Today. "They could have used a million different clues from all of his different movies, but they decided to use the biggest movie of his and make three clues about that. I thought I didn't get a good shot at it, and I just felt like it was all kind of planned to make me go home."
