John's team is stacked. Zoe is definitely a front-runner to win.

The coaches are being a lot pickier this year. Dan + Shay seem nice but there's something off about the mix of coaches. I think they need more feminine energy.

You can be racist towards one group and not as much towards another.

Wow, they really got rid of Kara. At least Mac made it through. I love Ruby but a lot of the other country artists are so generic.

I actually think Ariana is also good at showing off parts of her personality. She's a beautiful dancer. And I kind of like that she's often out-of-breath at the end of her dances. As for Charity, she definitely needs to learn how to connect to the audience better, but that's a really hard thing to figure out if you don't even know where to start. She could've grown up that way and maybe it continued for her entire life. It's not always something that you can just figure out in a couple of weeks.

Kinda sucks that Alexa didn't get through, but it was a hard choice.

I enjoyed a few of the performances but Alexa Wildish was so good. She can really tap into the emotions, which I guess makes sense for a 30+ singer.

Gabby had the most interesting "memorable moment" I've probably ever heard on the show. Wishing the best for her. As for getting dumped or cheated on, it's pretty horrible, especially when it happens in public and you're completely humiliated on TV. I think it's fine to mention things from the recent past that really affected you and how you see the world. Perhaps they can put it behind them and focus on other things going forward.

Charity has a bit of trouble with emotions but I do think she's improving on that front. Her body was doing all the work this week, and it was wonderful. I really felt her emotions come out in her strength and movement. I also enjoyed Xochitl and Ariana.

Kelly is great. I don't mind the positivity and amazing voice she brings to the show. Blake is OK but they needed some fresh blood on the show.

What an unkind comment. Same! The judges don't necessary make or break the show for me (although I miss Kelly). I forwarded through most of what all the judges did. I did enjoy whenever a contestant chose a judge that you didn't think they'd choose.

Holy crap, a 4-year-old kid? I know Adrian Peterson came from an unfortunate background, but this is too much. I feel so bad for Britt.

D. Smooth and Kelly's performance together was the best one, imo Super surprised that people didn't just automatically vote for Blake's team.

The trio wasn't that great tonight but their performance last week was really good. So perhaps it's the type of song or arrangement. Hoping people don't just vote for Blake's team because it's his last season.

D. Smooth was next-level in this performance of "Location". Holy moly.

I enjoy Nick on the show mainly because he's kind, funny and doesn't take himself too seriously. Jordan Matthew was super rude with that comment about choosing between Nick and Blake (and eliminating Kelly). Like...no one needed to know that, dude. Some of the singers were great tonight. I'm glad the coaches are getting pickier but it does mean that, inevitably, someone with a lot of potential will slip through the cracks.

If you do a Google search, you'll see that you shouldn't use poles for the ODR skis. Not sure if the info is still accurate though, as the page doesn't exist anymore. It's probably just a matter of getting the technique right. Regular skiing and snowboarding aren't that safe either. They look really fun, especially for people who don't want to spend a crazy amount on ski equipment, whether it's renting or buying.

I'm probably out since Julia Cooper isn't on anymore. edit: that is to say: this show needs more interesting and unique artists. The singers who made it through are mostly very similar.

I love Julia, hope she wins.

I liked both of the deals Barbara made. She was on her game this episode.

I like Micah but the song choice was boring and the performance wasn't that great either. Couldn't get through the whole thing. But it's nice that Kelly went against the grain. Allegra is my favourite. Nick is making some great moves in his debut season.

Exactly what I was going to post. We have a few allergies in the family, and they started at different ages. Some were at birth, others through puberty. The mothers ate the allergens, including nuts/peanuts before, during, and after pregnancy. It was a red flag to me that they started the pitch by basically claiming that all food allergies were kick-started by mothers not eating as much of the "risky" food early on in. They don't have any solid proof of this, and it's irresponsible to make an overarching claim.

Glad Kevin got a deal with the beard guy. That'll be popular for sure. The gift cutter is a great idea, but I've seen it ripped off for a fraction of the price. Not sure how the copycats work and if they're sharp enough, but they seem to have OK reviews.

Kevin's peanut butter claims where hilarious. I didn't like the bobbles for the shoes, but I liked the entrepreneur. Get Mark off the show. He's overbearing and a pain to watch. I actually think the peanut butter pump is great for those who live in homes with people who have allergies to peanut butter but still want to indulge. There's less clean-up after using the pump. Just have to make sure to clean your dish and wash your hands properly. You may not even get much peanut butter on your hands, and you're not contaminating food boards and butter knives and touching other parts of the kitchen.

America sucks at choosing. They tend to stick with whomever works with their choice of music, in a certain genre, and in a certain box. That's been proven with the outcome of most seasons of The Voice. It would've been interesting to see Mari on a different team (besides Blake's). But I don't see her style of music getting any recognition on the show. Would be lovely on the radio though. Jej has a great voice but he isn't intelligent in the way that he chooses and arranges music. There's something off about him. I don't know if it's because The Voice has limited him or if he's the one who made the bad decisions. Maelyn is unique and has so much control over her voice. She rarely hits a bad note, unlike in every single other contestant on the show (besides maybe Shawn). There's a reason she already has some recorded music. Not everyone's cup of tea in terms of genre but it's amazing to watch.
