The Voice<\/em> Season 28 continued on Oct. 6 with the fifth installment of Blind Auditions. With teams nearing capacity, it was more important than ever that coaches Michael Bubl\u00e9<\/strong>, Reba McEntire<\/strong>, Niall Horan<\/strong>, and Snoop Dogg<\/strong> pulled in the “four chair turn” artists to their side. Up until this point in the competition, Niall had four, Snoop had two, Michael had two, and Reba had yet to snag any. By the end of the episode, two more artists chose their team from among all four options.<\/p>\nIn this first round, the coaches will have their backs turned to the auditioning artists. If they like what they’re hearing and are interested in working with the performers, the would-be coaches can press their button. If multiple coaches turn their chair, the artist chooses which team to join. This season, each coach has one block to keep another coach from claiming an artist. By the end of the round, each coach will have hand-picked 12 artists to join their team.<\/p>\n
