From my understanding, Ideal08,
Whoopi decided not to pursue a 5th season on HS after King World, HS synidication distributor wanted to "reduce her take".
What it sounds like was that the ratings were sliding badly and despite Whoopi's efforts to save the show with that out-of-place "rapid-fire" bonus round (much like the "Match-Up" portion of the 1990 revival of Match Game), the ratings still slid. So King World kinda "pushed" her into the abyss, so to speak.
