The semifinals of The Voice have once again rolled around, and fans are less than happy with the results, claiming the results are rigged.
Shows like The Voice rely entirely on views and audience engagement. If they really ended up choosing the most talented musicians the show may be slightly less entertaining. Many reality shows play to fan favorites that get the crowd going. But given the nature of competition shows like The Voice, you’re going to lose your favorites along the way.
The hype that blows up around controversial choices, and losses of fan favorites, is exactly what they want. This time around, it certainly worked. #TheVoice was trending after the Season 26 semifinal results, with many people less than happy with the turnout.
Despite all the performers getting high praise from the judges, fans were put out by the outcome. In many cases, they felt that the reactions of the judges were disingenuous, further proving their false votes. A little criticism can go a long way, sometimes it’s actually better.
Snoop picking Christina over Austyns and Aliyah further confirms for me this show is extremely rigged because ain’t no way
She wasn’t even the best country voice on the show smh #TheVoice

Others are blasting The Voice over their apparently rigged choices. They think that now their favorites are gone, there is little reason to continue watching. “So all the greats got sent home and now we gotta sit here and watch the judges BS each other as if these are the greats? Ok.” However, one response gives a pretty valid solution. “Always rigged, here’s a clue – change channels”
