Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Lost track of which contestants are stll around and which have been eliminated on The Voice?

That wouldn’t be surprising since the show is stretching out the knockout round for five full weeks.

Week four of the knockouts airs Monday night. The knockouts will end next week.

Then there will be two weeks of playoffs — Dec. 1 and Dec. 8. During those playoffs, for the first time in Voice history, coaches will hand pick most of the finalists.

That used to be something voting fans did from home.

But The Voice continues to tinker with its format, shorten its season and shortchange fans in the process.

Oh, and don’t forget, these knockout round matches were filmed months ago.

Here’s where the teams stand. The links take you to profiles of the singers.
