For example, when the answer was Agatha Christie, one of the hard clues mentioned that the answer was a woman, and pretty much all of the others said she was a mystery writer. Maybe if the "it's a woman" clue came last, one of the spoilers might not think of Christie first, but as it played out, the contestant didn't have much chance.

That's my point. "Female mystery writer" tends to give it away.
This week, the answer was Wonder Woman--not an academic pursuit, but like Christie somewhat beyond pop culture. The contestant gave a clue the audience booed loudly. Two Spoilers got it off that, but then the contestant got lucky and stumped the third to win. And the player did right, because there was one even more obvious clue later on that he could pass.
Still, it's way more fun than a Barry-Enright end game.
