FULL EPISODE
Tonight is our first episode of the Battle Rounds, which features team contestants going up against one another for a one-on-one battle. And of course we finally get to see more of Gwen and husband Gavin Rossdale working and advising together for Team Gwen — he also spills the beans that Gwen is a big southern rock fan!
After each performance, Gwen will have to choose which contestant to keep on her team while sending the other “losing” artist home. But there is a catch…
The “loser†of the battle can potentially either be sent home or “stolen†to go to another team. For example, if Gwen had to choose between two and found one better than the other, Adam could potentially take one of her original picks for his own team. During this time, its custom for the coaches to also give advice and tips to move on to the next stage of competition.
So even though Team Gwen was completed last week, over the next few episodes Gwen might “steal” a contestant from another team for her own (and vise versa).
The Voice airs every Monday and Tuesday night at 8:00 PM ET/PT, 7:00 PM CT on NBC. Catch up on past episodes and auditions here.

Can’t wait! I don’t have a TV so I’ve been watching this the day after it airs.
It blows my mind that links (yes, illegal ones) don’t show up for hours after it airs. I swear every other show that airs on Monday is up before this!!. I hope someone else shares my sorrow.
NOOOOO Amanda. 🙁 She was my favorite on Team Gwen after Anita Antoinette. I loved that she didn’t have the most powerful voice on the show, but a really interesting tone to it – like Gwen! Ughhhhh.
Wow I see Gwen has got a lot of new twitter followers! She has now 3x more than no doubt!
Pharrell and Alicia are amazing. That’s all.
On NBC, The Voice earned a 3.9, up 5 percent from last week’s 3.7 adults 18-49 rating.

Bradley, I agree. Amanda was unique. Bad that she wasn’t stolen. Love yesterday’s episode. The performances were killer!

Christina is back next season and Gwen is not. No surprise really. She will have a lot going on with the solo album.
