| Ask the Audience Results: A: 30% ⬥ B: 27% ⬥ C: 39% ⬥ D: 4% | |
| Merritt is not entirely sure - she doesn't have kids and she's admittedly not up on her Disney. She decides to ask the audience. Merritt says she's pretty sure that The Little Mermaid has never been a Broadway musical. She knows that Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King are, and she doesn't know about Mary Poppins. She decides to jump the question. The correct answer was C. Beauty and the Beast.
Meritt's Bank: $0 |

| ⬥ C: Roald Dahl | ⬥ D: J.R.R. Tolkien |
| One answer jumped out at Merritt at the beginning but now she's not sure. Meredith asks her what she's thinking, and she says, "Roald Dahl because he wrote children's books." She's not confident and she doesn't want to risk it, so she jumps the question. The correct answer was D. J.R.R. Tolkien.
Meritt's Bank: $15,000 |
