So know this, with the final Knockouts tomorrow, where do you think the chips will fall?
Team Adam
There are a whopping three pairs left here, which must show how weak NBC and the show, in general, think the team is this season. Anyone can get paired with anyone else. But I get the feeling that Nate and Laith are two of the three Adam will put through, for sure. As for Caroline, Brian, and Jessica, I don't know. I think it's gonna depend on who really knocks it out of the park enough for him to choose who gets that last spot. Knowing his penchant for sticking to bromances, though, I can see Adam advancing Brian. I just don't think he'll put Jessica through. Caroline's an option, as well, if he wants to work with her, mold her a little bit. After all, he kept her over the much stronger Mike, so who's to say he won't save her again? I excluded Katherine because I think she's going to get the Rebekah Samarin treatment and be montaged out of a losing Knockout. Hey, with three pairs to show, I'm betting that the show will only show two of them and montage the third, with whomever faces Katherine being the one to win the montaged Knockout.
Final team for the Lives: Owen, Nate, Laith, Caroline, and Shalyah.
Team Pharrell
Only one pair left here, and I think that if Pharrell were smart, he'd keep both of his four-chair turns intact by keeping Caity, especially if she dominates Abby. Abby is a very good singer, too, but I think she's toast unless Blake really wants her. If they're the last pairing, then she's getting stolen by Blake. Caity is just on another level and shouldn't lose the Knockout unless Pharrell continues to get really obsessed with the game he's playing.
Final team for the Lives: Hannah, Emily, Moushumi, Caity, and Lacy.
Team Christina
Two pairs left here. I think Christina's going to put Bryan against Joe as they're both black (and she's been pairing her black artists off against each other this entire season so far) and they're both returnees from last season. Of these two, I think it'll come down to who impresses Christina more. I think Bryan has the more impressive returnee story, though, as well as the better voice, so I think she will put him through and send Joe packing. So that leaves Kata and Trey. Kata, while not possessing the best voice, at least has a unique one compared to Trey's rather standard, heard-all-the-time voice. So I imagine that Kata's going to go through, and Trey will be sent packing unless Blake steals him back.
Final team for the Lives: Alisan, Tamar, Bryan, Kata, and Ryan.
Team Blake
Just one pair left here, and I think it's an obvious one. While Mary and Brittany are both very good, I think Blake would be an idiot to part with his only four-chair turn. So I think Mary's going through and Brittany's going home. With no other steals available from the other coaches, the loser is definitely gone.
Final team for the Lives: Paxton, Katie, Adam, Mary, and whomever he steals.
So those are my predictions. But with seven pairs left and only six able to be shown, I'm going to again guess that whatever pairing in which Katherine is placed will be the montaged one. But what does everyone else think?
