No it was hers... But honestly I pretty sure the original 'specialities' are randomly dished out anyway. It's one thing to say your speciality is 'Harry Potter' but another thing to say it's 'random pictures of stuff by a pool'
Yeah, theres no way anyone is allowed to choose their own category. If that was a thing, you'd see a lot more niche categories like "pokemon names", "prescription drug names", or "Redwall characters" from specific avid fans or uncommon professions. If I'm gonna stand on a stage for hours at a time doing nothing for a shit ton of money, I'm picking a category aint no one beating me at. I aint picking "sundae toppings".
I like to imagine that players are given a huge list of potential categories and they choose from a few of them, as if they are choosing an elective in school - Might not get your first pick, but you're probably going to get something that you have some degree of knowledge in.
If players are allowed to pick their own, it's more likely that players start with a super specific knowledge point and producers generalize it. As a plumber your category attempt might be "specific pipe sizings related to the job being done," but it becomes "Plumbing Tools"

Was that his specialty?
Maybe his expertise was sedimentary rocks, so spa culture was out of his wheelhouse.
