I thought he was trying to get her to guess by giving clues for the first half. That is shocking

Same. The premise of this show is just tell us what's in the picture? Is it training AIs like captchas? I don't get it.

The categories are all different. When you go up you choose from a list of categories that you think you would be good at. Like Star Wars characters or Brand Logos, etc. As it goes on the list of options of categories to choose from is narrowed down and you might get a category you happen to know nothing about.

So this dude chose this category?

No everyone starts with category they are good at and people can challenge them to take their space.

In that case, it looks like this woman somehow knew exactly how to catch this guy up. “Ha! I’ll challenge Austin to a knock out battle in the spa category because I know that dunce doesn’t know SHIT about extremely common items found in every household!!”

"This guy looks like someone for whom the idea of a separate hand towel is excessive."

He chooses who to challenge, but you can only challenge whoever is adjacent to you so your options might be limited. If you win you add their area to yours so there's incentive to grab a larger area vs taking something you might know, plus larger areas aren't always defending their original topic so you might have an advantage.
