This used to be my favorite television show but I really do not like the new format. We all know that Blake's contestants get extra votes because people like Blake, but at least in the past it was balanced and gave all the hosts a fair chance. This new format is simply not fair and eliminates the byplay of the hosts that I found so enjoyable. Sorry to say I can barely finish this season and if the format is not changed back I may not watch next year. Why do people have to mess?? If it's not broke dont fix it.
