Cole Cook on Click to Fame
Cole was a contestant on the game show, Claim to Fame, and was eliminated in the fifth episode of the second season.
During the show, contestants had to guess the identity of a celebrity relative of one of the other contestants.
Cole was revealed to be the brother of Alicia by Karsyn, who correctly guessed his identity.
Cole’s elimination came after he betrayed his close ally Shayne in order to save himself, which led to mistrust among the other contestants.
Cole’s friendly personality and middle-ground position in the group also contributed to a lack of trust from others.
Despite the backlash, Cole’s move ensured he would stay in the game for at least another week, making for exciting television.
After his elimination, Alicia sent a special video message showing her love for her brother.
