I didn’t see the show, so can’t say for sure, but I really think there’s something about the Friday show, the 5th taping of the day, that’s a bit of a hex on multi-day champions. Of course there are other factors such as the speed and knowledge of the challengers, and the familiarity of the categories. Mental weariness might be a real thing.
