I dont know and I'm not usually a conspiracy theory kind of guy (except for the Lizard-Men that is a real threat!).

But the other contestants have to get it right. Circumstances have to go just a certain way and on top of all of that I'd bet some people love the streaks just as much as others might hate them, so it'd be a tough demographic/ratings thing to judge.

I think its more likely that she was either exhausting her knowledge or the sheer grind just wore her down over time.

Amy is in line with a lot of contestants who won a bunch of money via the grind. I think Holzhauer won way more money than she did in 8 fewer games.
