GNT absolutely dominated this week. With reactions this low, it’s hard to say who’s in what specific position otherwise.

If there’s no cumulative vote, then I think Facebook stats only matter for that particular week. The stats tend to vary based on performance quality, and it can rise or fall for anyone for basically the same reason. …right?

when SECOND place is 3.4K likes you know these are low standings. 3.4K likes with 6M viewers means practically nothing, even if Facebook is the most accurate indicator.

GNT is crushing, with over double the reacts of Paris who's in 2nd. The rest are crumpled pretty close together with less than 1K reacts separating each one. Gymani, Shadale, and Joshua are the only ones to have not cracked 1K reacts yet.

Shadale's opening. Only uptempo song choice of the night says it all. Closing? I'd bet on Holly, because she's going to get pimped by TPTB so Ari gets a finalist.

PERFECT song choice, that's all I gotta say. Wendy's gonna destroy this.

So basically the TLDR: -Ryleigh and Shadale are in the B3, and the last one is up for grabs. In other words, nothing unexpected

The studios are on itunes! and BK was not trolling

Oh come on TPTB, why bus people who aren't even that dangerous to begin with?

Also S15 - Chevel/Mikele sang “You Look So Good In Love” during their battle (albeit it was montaged) where that was Kirk Jay’s duet song with Blake in the finale

Alright, this is how I see things going right now. I don't expect things to stay exactly the same, but we'll see. 1. Wendy Moten - I don't know if she'll win the show, but the fact that Blake has pushed her so hard combined with the fact that Minivan seemed to have caught on to her is a great sign. At the least, it seems she's a lock for the finale, and she could definitely win the entire thing. It also helps that she's pretty much incapable of flopping live. 2. Girl Named Tom - They very well could win, and along with Wendy are the only act I'd consider a lock for the finale. Minivan's complaint about "It's The Voice not The Voices" sounds like a disadvantage on paper, but given their reception so far I doubt that'll be a big factor. 3. Paris Winningham - Blake got something along the lines of a Chloe level steal here. Paris having the highest Facebook stats in playoffs helps a lot. I don't think he's necessarily a lock for the finale, and I doubt he'll win since Blake is going to push much harder for Wendy, but it wouldn't be a Voice finale without 2 Blake contestants would it? 4. Holly Forbes - Holly's much better than her playoffs performance indicates, and I think Minivan knew that too. Definitely still Ariana's best (and only) shot at reaching the finale. I think she will be the only Ariana contestant in the semifinals, and if that happens she is going to get pushed HARD so Ariana has a finalist in her first season, instant save or not. 5. Jeremy Rosado - The man actually passed GNT on Facebook today, for what it's worth. He's basically the most typically Minivan friendly contestant left, I think he'll be around for a while. Finale will be a reach, but don't be surprised to see him in the semifinals instant save. 6. Hailey Mia - The only reason I have Hailey below Jeremy is she didn't get the PV in playoffs where he did. Hailey apparently had a breakdown after Kelly's results were announced (pre-wildcard) and within mere minutes composed herself and delivered in an extremely high pressure situation. That takes guts. The kid is made of solid steel, and I don't think she has anything to worry about right now. She might reach the finale. 7. Jershika Maple - Here's where it gets tricky. I don't think John will be completely shut out of the semifinals, and I feel Jershika is his best shot right now. Why? Because she got the first PV with a questionable song choice, and I think Minivan still does enjoy her. Maybe if she gets better song choices she can reach the middle 3, but finale is a longshot. 8. Gymani - Out of all the contestants from this spot and below, I think Gymani is most likely to deliver in an instant save. Even though she didn't get PV, her Facebook standings were decent by when the voting closed. Maybe she'll make the semifinals, maybe she won't. 9. Joshua Vacanti - Minivan typically doesn't vote for the "broadway" singers so Joshua getting PV indicates he has a fanbase, but I can't help but feel like it was because he just happened to sing good even with a bad song choice. I wouldn't be too surprised to see him in the semifinals though. 10. Jim & Sasha Allen - If their team wasn't so weak they would have been doomed. Their song choice and competition helped them survive playoffs, but I think their PV was a fluke. They've been unmemorable so far. 11. Lana Scott - As the lone country singer remaining I don't think Lana has to worry just yet about leaving the competition, but she hasn't really made much waves on social media. She'll need another Wildest Dreams moment to stick around much longer. 12. Shadale - I love Shadale and think she should be in the T8, especially since Minivan does enjoy her, but the competition might just be too tight for her to overcome more than 1 or 2 live weeks. 13. Ryleigh Plank - Ryleigh was a pretty baffling save after having a poor performance and the weakest Facebook stats. The girl can sing, however, and she got an insanely tough song in playoffs, but she might just be too "weird" for this competition. Not that it's a bad thing, it's just not what Minivan votes for.

1. Paris - Honestly, I think he'll be in the finale. Minivan LOVES him and you can't have a finale without 2 Blake contestants right? 2. Jeremy - He'll make the bloodbath for sure, and maybe to the instant save as well. I don't think he'll make the finale, but I knew from the beginning that he was going to get PV once I saw Kelly's top 5, and I was right. Watch out, he's dangerous. 3. Joshua - Not the type of artist who usually goes far, but if Legend's team is so weak where a contestant typically disliked by Minivan gets PV, I think he'll make bloodbath. 4. Jim & Sasha - If Ari's team wasn't so weak they wouldn't be here. The fact that they got PV after having one of the worst performances of the night might work in their favor though, but they have a big uphill battle.

I think top 8 IS the semi final. 11/29 is 2 weeks before 12/14, which is when they said the finale would be.

With Jim & Sasha and GNT surviving playoffs, S21 is the first season with both a duo and trio in its T13.

I mean... Jim and Sasha were the only male act on Ari's team...

It's been a while since I've been truly nervous for results. In the past 3 seasons I always thought it was not a big deal if my favorites left, because the season was practically over at that point. But with 5 more weeks of lives? Ohohoho, things can go wrong quickly.

This is why I think Wendy was lucky to close the show. I would have been pretty skeptical on her chances if she got any other spot.

Didn't help him in the finale though Since Facebook is so accurate most of the time I usually go with whatever the highest 2 people are on it, and whatever happens happens.

Wendy's not gonna pass Paris. They were uploaded a minute apart and Paris has a big lead on her. She'll probably pass Peedy though.

Minivan always finds a way to prefer the only male act on a team no matter how bad they performed not like ari's team really delivered at all but that's not the point

Honestly, any placement for Wendy that isn't 1st would be a huge disservice to the entire Voice franchise.
