Contestants who received a Playoff Pass on 'The Voice' Season 23
'The Voice' has always been known for its thrilling and innovative twists, and this season is no exception. The show is introducing a never-before-seen perk for contestants: the Playoff Pass. With this pass, an artist can bypass the Knockout rounds and advance directly to the Playoff rounds. Both artists in a battle can advance with the pass, but the artist with the playoff pass gets an automatic advance, bringing them one step closer to the live performance shows. To make things even more interesting, each of the four coaches has one playoff pass to use during the knockout rounds. This pass overrides the steal in the competition, making it an incredibly powerful tool for coaches to wield. The first person to receive a Playoff Pass on this season of 'The Voice' was Manasseh Samone, who was given the pass by Chance after he chose Sorelle as the winner. But that's not all - the second Playoff Pass was just awarded to Mary Kate Connor by Blake Shelton. While he chose Kylee Dayne as the winner of their battle, he couldn't help but acknowledge Mary Kate's incredible talent, and he decided to give her the pass.
With this new twist in play, the competition is only getting more intense, and we can't wait to see what other surprises 'The Voice' has in store for us!
'The Voice' Season 23 airs every Monday from 8 to 9 pm ET and Tuesday from 9 to 10 pm ET only on NBC. You can also stream 'The Voice' Season 23 the next day on Peacock.
