WATCH: Tom Hanks Niece Had An All-Time MELTDOWN On An Absurd Reality TV Show

Twelve contestants, each of whom has a famous relative, move into a house together and are tasked with deducing which celebrities the other contestants are related to while also keeping their own celebrity relationship a secret. Every episode, the contestants participate in a competition. The winner is granted immunity for the round and a bonus clue about another contestant.

At the end of the episode, the contestants secretly vote between the two lowest-ranked performers in the competition to be the round's "guesser". The guesser will then choose any other non-immune contestant and announce which celebrity they think the other contestant is related to. If the guesser is correct, the other contestant will be eliminated; if the guesser is wrong, the guesser will be eliminated instead.

The final contestant remaining wins $100,000.

Like most of the people reading this, I've never watched this show. I'd never even HEARD of it before this clip. And after reading the plot, I'm shocked I'm not reading the synopsis of a skit. 

Anyway, this sequence blew my mind. To fucking SHREIK like a banshee protecting her horde of gold or whatever is laugh out loud funny. The follow-up yelling about the easy clues and calling her fellow contestant an idiot is just the icing on the cake here. And why the freakout, anyway? The only motivation is, what, losing out on $100k prize money? Guess what. I bet your uncle would pay you $200k to NOT do what you just did.

Maybe there is just something weird in Tom Hanks DNA….
