LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The grand finale of 'The Voice' Season 23 has arrived with an electrifying atmosphere, showcasing the Top 5 finalists who have captured the hearts of viewers nationwide. This season of 'The Voice' kicked off featuring a star-studded panel of judges including Kelly Clarkson, Niall Horan, Chance the Rapper, and Blake Shelton. Guiding the contestants through their incredible journeys was the show's host and presenter, Carson Daly.

However, amidst the excitement, some fans can't help but speculate that NBC, the network airing the show, maybe intentionally prolong the finale to boost ratings and attract more viewers. While the winner will ultimately be determined by the public votes from enthusiastic viewers across the United States, these passionate fans believe that the network is deliberately "dragging the show" to create suspense and heighten the thrill of the competition.

Is 'The Voice' intentionally dragging the show?

As fans eagerly tune in to the thrilling finale of 'The Voice,' whispers abound that the show might be deliberately prolonging the excitement to attract more viewers and boost ratings. However, the finale episode holds even more significance as it marks the end of an era for Blake, bidding farewell after an impressive decade-long journey on the show. If his team emerges victorious, it would secure his remarkable tenth win on 'The Voice.' To commemorate this milestone, guest performers graced the stage, delivering a heartfelt farewell to Blake in a truly unforgettable manner.

In a delightful twist, Niall and Blake joined forces in a mock sitcom that had everyone chuckling with joy. The playful plot revolved around Niall portraying Blake's on-screen son, who moved in with him after his roommate, the talented John Legend, made a sudden departure. The dynamic duo fully embraced the running joke, leaning into the comedic chemistry that made it seem like Blake was Niall's hilarious on-screen dad. Finally after killing a lot of time, the winner was announced. Gina Miles from team Niall won the 'The Voice' title, leaving Grace West as the runner up. 

'They’ll do anything but announce the winner'

The passionate fans of 'The Voice' have been buzzing with a theory that NBC, the network behind the show, is purposefully prolonging its run to attract higher ratings and more viewers. One said, "Why is every song a slow one? Even the past coaches are singing snoozers", while another chimed in saying, "God, just like the past time they did this. Super fun bit that should have ended at the end of the opening theme. And then it drags. And drags. And dragsss..." Another fan said, "Just announce the winners already! We are tired of waiting". One pointed out, "Is everyone who’s ever been on the voice performing " Another posted, "Someone please tell us the rankings". Another frustrated fan commented, "OK seriously now. I am so nervous!!! Dont make us wait"
