The End Of Streak

In her 41st game, she was defeated by Rhone Talsma (who was also defeated the next day). She carried her usual lead ($7,200, a $3,800 lead over Rhone) at the end of the Jeopardy Round and had a substantial lead over Rhone for the first three quarters of the Double Jeopardy round.

However, Rhone found the third and last Daily Double of the game when there were only seven clues left on the board. With Amy at $24,000 and Rhone at $7,800, his only chance was to bet everything and be right. He did just that, taking his score to $15,600 and mathematically guaranteeing that Amy could not turn the game into a runaway as long as Rhone did not ring in on any more clues.

She entered with a commanding, albeit not runaway $27,600, which was $10,000 more than Rhone at $17,600. The FJ! clue was, "The only nation in the world whose name in English ends in an H, it's also one of the 10 most populous." Rhone put down the correct Final Jeopardy response (Bangladesh) while Amy was unable to come up with a response at all. She is currently the top seed in the 2022 Tournament of Champions, barely edging out Matt Amodio.

She mentioned yesterday on Twitter that the lunch break at taping took place between yesterday's and today's games.

Tournament of Champions

She reached the semi-finals by bye in the ToC on October 31, 2022, with the semi-finals on November 9. Because of her extensive run, Amy was given an automatic semifinal slot in the 2022 Tournament of Champions. She also played in an exhibition match with Matt Amodio and Mattea Roach; while she finished that match in third place, it did not count towards official show records.

She faced 5-time champ Tyler Rhode and 4-time champ Maureen O’Neil in her semifinal round, and after dominating the Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy rounds, entered Final with a lock game and a slot in the finals.

The finals, which had a new first-to-three wins format, saw her face off against Andrew He once again, as well as 2021 Professor’s Tournament Champion Sam Buttrey. She and Andrew went almost hammer-and-tongs over the first four games, winning two apiece. She had the lead going into Final in game 5 of the finals, but a small wager allowed Sam to claim his first win of the finals. She once again led going into game 6’s Final, but made the appropriate cover wager this time; thus, she won the Tournament and claimed the $250,000 top prize. With this win, she became the first female ToC winner in 15 years (fourth ever) since S24's Celeste DiNucci, and set the record for the longest winning streak among ToC winners, surpassing James.

Her show winnings total $1,634,800, which puts her in fourth place all-time, as well as making her the highest winning contestant who did not participate in the Greatest of All Time tournament.

Masters Tournament

In 2023, she participated in the Masters Tournament, which was held as a unique feature of S40 Primetime. The competition featured 2022 ToC finalists Amy, Sam, and Andrew, the top money winners of 2022 ToC Matt A and Mattea, and 2019 ToC winner James.

She was very nervous in this tournament, so she didn't win a single game and won 5 points, finishing in 5th place. It's not that she didn't do well, but rather that she couldn't show her proper skills because James and Andrew were so active. People are sending comments, hoping to come back in the next tournament.
