The "Wheel Category Survival Game"

I love geography, and I'm relatively good at On The Map. So I'm adding 2 to that.
I'm also quite fond of Same Letter since that can help, and if the timing's right, you could get a lot of money if you find that same letter. So 2 to that.
I can also identify some Slogans as well. So I'm adding 2 to that as well.

vanzie also erroneously took two from Fill in the Blank/Number when he only chose to take one, so I'll fix this.

Deo & Jeffrey, you copied from the wrong post. What Are We Making is out already...might I ask what people found so bad about that category? I liked it, and it was kind of sad it was only used once.

Before I get rid of Proper Name, I'd just like to say that I don't have too much of a problem with it on the show, but in various Wheel games, especially the Wii and DS games, Proper Name puzzles that are actually names of people and not sports teams or other things are names that I find quite obscure. Half the time, I pause the game and Google their name. I once played an online match on the iPhone game with another player, and we took forever trying to figure out somebody's last name. When we finally did, I asked somebody I was with at the time if they had heard of that person, and she said no. Plus, a lot of the Proper Name puzzles could be better off in other categories, like "QUANTUM PHYSICS" in the iPhone game.

So..

-2 Proper Name
+2 Fun & Games
-2 On The Map

Well, so much for my favorite category of Proper Name being eliminated. And I guess Mario made a good point there about comparing it between the actual show and the Nintendo Wii Game.

My scoring for today...

Same Letter +2
Thing -2
Best Seller -2 (I can never understand why it's rarely used these days)
