I think I might stick with multiple choice as long as ya'll stay honest... What I was thinking too was whoever had the most points for the week could select the catagory. Here are the categories I have been thinking about:

Movies
Television
Music
Sports
Literature
History
Geography
Health
Technology

If you think of another category ya'll would like to see let me know.
