-The block is very interesting as a tactic on "The Voice."
We all have one block. He blocked me.
When I use my block, it's usually
because I'm really into an artist early
and I'm afraid they'll go to somebody else.
-I'm not really worried about being blocked.
I came into this season going,
"Oh, we're all gonna aim for Ariana."
-The gloves are off now, huh? -[ Laughs ]
-I will know when the right time to use my block is.
-I still don't think I'm the one that pushed that.
It might have been... -Don't let him trick you.
-I only get one block, and I make sure
that I use it on an artist
that can make a difference on my team.

-There's Blake!
-Oh!
-Oh, my gosh. It feels so good to block Shelton.
Like, it's kind of a spiritual experience.
That is so interesting. -What happened there?
-I told you what happened. -I know, but I was wrong.
-I was telling her I know damn good and well
Kelly blocked me. -Aah!
-I really enjoyed Kinsey's voice. Block!
The most painful thing about this
is two Kenzies two years in a row.
-She took a Kenzie from him last season, too.
-And we went to the finale. It was good.
I do think it's funny that last season I had a Kenzie
in country who was a male,
and this time it's a female Kinsey.
It's awesome.
So maybe afterwards, they just make a group.

-Blake always lies to me when he blocks me.
He's been doing that since I've gotten to the show
in season 16.
Wendy, I'll be brief, because I was blocked by Blake Shelton.
-What?
-He didn't want us to be together.
-That's not -- I think Ariana... -I knew it was him
because he was the only coach to turn before I did.
So, of course, it was Blake Shelton.
Of course, he lied about it. But I've gotten used to this.
-Did you hit the block? Really? -I don't --
still don't think I did.
Do you want someone that's gonna lie to you?
-Well...
-Well, change your ways, Wendy!
He will literally lie straight to their face
then walk away with them on his team.
It's actually a gift. -I gotta go with Blake.
-Yes! Wendy! -Oh, my gosh!
-I feel like Wendy is one of the best vocalists
I have ever heard on this show.
I can't wait to see where this goes.
-Ari and I have not used our blocks yet.
-We still have our blocks. I'm waiting for the right moment.
I know it'll come. -I'm waiting till I'm inspired.
I don't know who I'm gonna use it on now, though,
because everybody's doing so well.
And who do I want to sabotage more?
-Whoa! He got one!

-Ariana is new to the block. She has yet to use it.
And I had to show her a few things about the block.
That's how you use it. -[ Laughs ]
-Ohh!
-That was a brilliant move on John Legend's part,
but so evil.
Oh, my gosh.
-It's her first time here, and she got blocked.
-Yes! -I just had a feeling
that Ariana would respond well to Joshua,
and I had a feeling that Joshua probably
was a big Ariana fan. -I sing all different stuff.
I love theater. I love gospel.
-Ooh! -I love pop.
-This is not fair. -I love singing your music.
-See? This is -- Ooh! -Way to use the block, John.
Way to use the block. That was awesome.
-Oh, I am so mad right now. -I love you, too, John.
I love you, too. -It's okay. It's okay.
It just shows me that I blocked the right person.
-You really did.
I will say that him choosing to do that at that moment
makes me really want to wait for the right voice to block.
I'm really happy that I'm the last person
that has a block left.
[ Crowd cheering ]
-[ Laughs ]
You did it! You did it!
-Whoo! -She just blocked.
-I have been waiting to use my block for a long time.
I'm the last one to use my block.
And I made it by a millisecond. And I'm so happy!
-I'm so happy for you. I'm ecstatic.
-I am the last to use it.
I used it on Holly.
And she went to Kelly.
-I grew up listening to Kelly Clarkson.
-What does that mean?
-So I'm gonna go with her.
-What?! Oh, my God!
What?!
Oh, my God! I'm so happy!
Holly -- I love her. I was kind of shocked.
But I was very happy that Holly picked me.
Oh, my God! Thank you! I love you!
You know, you just never know when you use your block.
You use it because you really want the person,
and sometimes it just doesn't go your way.
And this time, you know, it didn't go Ariana's way.
Aah!
-I used my block on John because he provoked me.
But in hindsight, I really wish
I'd have used it on Kelly Clarkson.
-Mama's still got it!
[ Cheers and applause ]
I wasn't blocked this season,
but what's funny is that I benefited from Ariana's block.
Thank you. And then I benefited from mine.
I blocked Blake, and I got Kinsey Rose.
-Look at this waste of a block.
Should've blocked Kelly all along.
-I'm really sorry, John. -It's all right. [ Laughs ]
-I'm very thankful for Ariana wasting her block
and me winning.
