"John" and "Donne" do not rhyme, as the clue claimed. Also, the "fourth estate" is the press, and thus the clue stating that the answer was not "fourth estate" would rule out the correct answer, "Journalism," or was that in the Showdown game?

4th estate was in the SD game and threw a couple of us for a loop as well. Since it was not BB, the clue itself eliminated "Real Estate", but regardless, it was poorly thought out. Technically not a bad clue, but....

The last two or three weeks, the first 7-10 Q's of BB have been cake, then the remaining Q's have been murder, for us anyway. Wondering if others felt the same or if this was this some crazy coincidence.

Agree wholeheartedly.

It rhymes if you prounounce "Donne" as "Donny" or "Don". It almost threw me off but I stuck with it.
