The Return of the Eliminated

Jay Mohr arrives at the house to announce a surprise - those that were previously eliminated come back.

The comic with the highest-rated pitch would win immunity and a guaranteed spot in the final five. Tammy wins. In the voting, John gets the most votes. He chooses Corey.
