The Voice season 22 returned for its Top 16 Live Playoffs results on Tuesday night, November 15, 2022, only on NBC. After Monday night's live performances, the votes were in, and the contestants with the least number of votes faced elimination. The Top 13 contestants who advanced to next week were also revealed.
After the votes were tallied, the two contestants with the highest number of votes from each team automatically advanced to the Top 13. Next, from the remaining two contestants in each team, the coaches got the chance to save one artist. The four eliminated singers then performed for an Instant Save Wildcard entry. The contestant who garnered the highest number of votes from the Instant Save advanced to the Top 13, and the remaining three were eliminated.
The four contestants who faced elimination were Bryce Leatherwood from Team Blake, Sasha Hurtado from Team Legend, Kevin from Team Gwen, and Kate Kalvach from Team Camila. Vying for the Instant Save Wildcard, the four artists performed a song of their choice, but only one contestant could advance.
The Voice artist who received the most number of votes and was saved by the wildcard was Bryce Leatherwood from Blake Shelton's team. While some fans were happy with his win, many claimed it wasn't the right decision.
Upon witnessing Bryce being announced as the winner of the Instant Save Wildcard, fans took to social media to share their opinion.
