The first installment of the three-night event, Monday's episode put team Blake Shelton and team Pharrell Williams on the chopping block. In the wake of the Battle Rounds, each team has five contestants remaining but after the live playoffs, the number will be knocked down to three.

Each contestant will have the chance to be saved by public vote (two members per team), by their coach (one member per team), the public's instant save, or by gaining extra voter points by landing their latest song on the iTunes top 10.
