But if this was a set up, and IF he slays his KO performance, then maybe yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely would've been closer, but I'm pretty sure GNT swept. That would be hard to overcome. The only way I can see it being different is if TPTB decided that Blake should have that win, i.e. by giving GNT less favorable edit, performance slots, song choices etc, but even then I'm not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, some Karen actually did it on Instagram I mean, she kept it as simple as she could, and I think it would've been received very well. Paris and Hailey were way less polarizing than Wendy, and she still surpassed them. I think if she had performed songs like that instead of Blue Bayou or Freeway of Love, she would've had a much better chance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same exact pattern with Morgan. Ironically, a lot of people complaining about Morgan’s experience were Blake stans who were probably voting for Wendy the season prior. Having said that, there’s no way a 56 year old female would finish as runner-up on any other team, and from a marketability standpoint, I can’t argue with a GNT win.

But I think if that was Blake's last season, and if she had done few country performances, she would've had a better chance. I also agree with the marketability point. I was actually listening to a vocal coach reaction on GNT and Wendy (Coach Name: Tristan Paredes). He said, "If this show is about: who is the better vocalist?, then Wendy is the true winner, and it's not debatable. But if this show is about producing artists that can chart on iTunes, then I can't argue with the decision." (He checked on Wiki and found out that GNT had 4 performances in the iTunes top 10 at a time.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misirlou Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 So, just for simple guesses (this is bound to be wrong, but we can come back to it and laugh at how wrong/right it was), and assuming Blake is winning, because, let´s face it, I don´t think anybody on another team has the strength to stop him, who out of these do you view as the one with the most potential to take it just based on what you´ve seen?

Other than the $100K, I doubt anyone can make a convincing argument that winning would have benefitted Wendy much. She’d be doing the same things she currently doing anyway. She stays pretty busy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll pick a handful of contestants who I think have a good chance of contending, but I think it’s even too early for that. There are a handful of them on Team Blake who are probably capable of winning, depending on several factors. For the other teams, I have no clue whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasha JessenGrace WestKylee HendricksonWalker WilsonNeil SalsichNOIVAS (stolen from Chance)Playoff Pass: Marykate Conner Way too early for this but what the heck. POWER RANKING 1. Neil - Super talented, minivan friendly. More likely this seasons GNT than its Carson Peters. 2. NOIVAS - Flawless gospel singer. This seasons Wendy/Paris. 3. Grace - This seasons Lana Scott. 4. MaryKate- Won the playoff pass. 5. Tasha - Slim chance she could beat NOIVAS due to her being OG Team Blake. 6. Kylee - Slim chance she could beat Grace based on her three chair turn. Ranking her below Tasha due to her BP, MaryKate receiving the playoff pass and being too similar to her vocally. 7. Walker - Slim chance he could beat Neil, but I doubt it the most of anyone. Sorry Walker fans. Honestly though, literally any of them, including Walker, could easily win their KO and the season.
