Sam didn't take the eviction well, promising to "rip these bitches to shreds".

Kaycee reveals that Haleigh is indeed her target.

"HOUSEGUESTS, PLEASE GO TO THE LIVING ROOM." Big Brother gives the houseguests a little piece of home in the form of videos of loved ones.

Time for the pick. HOH Kaycee and nominees Haleigh and Sam pick Tyler, Angela, and Brett respectively. That leaves JC to pretty much throw everything into disarray, hoping beyond hope to break up the power couple of Angela and Tyler, who want JC to go on the block if things don't pan out.

VETO COMPETITION #11: BB Comics. There are five evil imposters - heroes that don't match their comic panels' colors - that must be found and eliminated. Fastest time wins.

Susannah Brooks (Madison, WI) begins the day with $30,000 and 1 lifeline left.  She is able to secure $50,000, and then...

[$100,000]
In 2017, soprano Audrey Luna was surprised to learn she'd hit the highest note ever sung in the NY Metropolitan Opera's 137-year-history -- what note above High C?
A: A
B: B
C: C
D: D

Susannah, being somewhat of a music aficionado, went with A... and gets the $100,000! That leads her to this...

[$250,000]
Meant to make computers seem relatable, the style of design that mimics real-world objects, such as the "folder" sitting on your "desktop", is known as what?
A: Isomorphism
B: Skeuomorphism
C: Catamorphism
D: Epimorphism

Susannah has been teaching her daughter how to pronounce some big words.  She asks the audience, and 34% say C, with 32% saying A and 25% saying B.  With those results, she decides not to go for it, opting to walk.  The answer is B, and she leaves with $100,000!

Keri Buck (Pensacola, FL) has a tough act to follow, but she starts well enough, easily securing $5,000.  She then polls the audience at $7,000 and brings in her husband, Adam, at $10,000.  That is it for today; Keri will continue her run tomorrow!

In the nightcap, Andrew Thomas (Saint Paul, MN), starting it with $20,000 and 2 lifelines, makes it to $50,000 without much of a problem.  That leads to this...

[$100,000]
In the book "Burton on Burton," Tim Burton reveals that Warner Brothers actually considered releasing "Beetlejuice" under what title?
A: Ghostbastards
B: Son of a Witch
C: Scared Sheetless
D: Polterguys

Andrew has an instinct on this one, but he wants to hear from his Plus One, Tara, first.  She isn't sure about A or D.  Andrew is thinking C, and Tara could see it being that.  They eliminate B since they don't recall any witches in the movie.  Andrew says C... and he's right!

[$250,000]
After Neil Armstrong became the first to set foot on the moon in 1969, how much time did he spend on its surface before going back inside the lunar module?
A: About 5 minutes
B: About 30 minutes
C: About 2 hours
D: About 5 hours

The 50:50 leaves B and C.  Andrew recalls that they weren't out there for too long, so he goes with B... but it's C!  At least he still has $50,000!

Megan Turner (Kansas City, MO) turns to the audience at $7,000, and that is where this one ends.  Megan will return tomorrow.
