AceShowbiz - A new episode of "The Voice" season 24 featured the final Battles before Knockout Round officially began. The outing, airing on Monday, November 6, also revealed that award-winning Wynonna Judd had been tapped to serve as the mega mentor for this season.
The first Battle of the night were Team Niall Horan's Huntley and Brailey Lenderman. They took the stage to sing "Hold My Hand" by Hootie & The Blowfish. John Legend praised Brailey for his "powerful" voice, but he found Huntley "attractive and magnetic." Reba McEntire, meanwhile, loved Brailey's tone and called Huntley a "force of nature." Niall eventually picked Huntley as the winner, and Brailey was eliminated.
Caitlin Quisenberry and Crystal Nicole from Team Reba later hit the stage to sing "The Song Remembers When" by Trisha Yearwood. Niall said he leaned toward Caitlin for her storytelling. Gwen Stefani thought that Caitlin's style was "memorable," while Crystal was "naturally strong." John also would pick Caitlin for her "homey" voice. Reba agreed with her fellow judges as she named Caitlin as the winner. The country star was in tears when Crystal was eliminated.
The final Battle was between Kara Tenae and Brandon Montel from Team Gwen. They impressed the judges with a performance of "Have You Ever" by Brandy. John said Kara was powerful and brilliant, and praised Brandon over his higher register. Reba shared she leaned toward Kara for the way she handled herself. Gwen, meanwhile, was torn because she had to make a difficult decision. After much deliberation, Gwen decided to keep Kara. John surprisingly hit his button to steal Brandon.
The Knockouts began right away after the Battle Rounds concluded. Team Reba's Alison Albrecht, Jacquie Roar and Tom Nitti were up first with Jacquie singing "Girl" by Maren Morris. Alison followed it up with a performance of "Too Late" by Carole King.
Niall appeared to be interested in Tom, calling his knockout performance "haunting." Reba eventually named Jacquie as the winner of the Knockout round. Reba wanted to save Tom, but Gwen made a steal. Tom needed to choose one of the coaches, but he decided to stay on Team Reba.
