You could tell when Ken Jennings was tired due to multiple shows in one day. At some point, Amy will have an off show where here opponents get all three daily doubles and there are some categories that she is not strong in

at 38. Then it is a long trek to Ken Jennings at 74 consecutive.
36 games at 5 games per week would leave her 7 weeks + short of Jennings. People get tired, make mistakes and someday there will be someone with a quick buzzer against her.
Her streak has been amazing.
