In The Voice season 26, episode 10, the intense Battles Round concluded on October 29, 2024. Coaches Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, and Gwen Stefani brought fresh energy as they guided their artists through head-to-head matchups, aiming to build winning teams.
After each battle, one artist from each pair moved on with their original coach. The other artists risked being eliminated unless a different coach chose to "steal" them. As a result, coaches had to be smart about how they used their steals, taking into account both the players they had access to and the overall strength of their team.
In this episode of The Voice, Snoop used his remaining steals to add Austyns Stancil and Aliyah Khaylyn to his team. With the Battles Round concluding, the remaining contestants advanced to the Knockouts, where both individual talent and coach mentorship would play a larger role, preparing them for increasingly challenging performances.
Snoop Dogg's double steal in The Voice season 26
Snoop's final two steals in Episode 10 changed the competition's dynamics. Austyns Stancil, a standout performer, initially impressed all four coaches but chose Team Snoop, showing his interest in Snoop’s coaching style. Later, during the Battle between Sofronio Vasquez and Aliyah Khaylyn, who sang Celine Dion's The Power of Love under Michael’s guidance, Snoop made his second steal.
Sofronio stayed with Team Michael, but Snoop saved Aliyah because he liked how she could handle herself in a tough situation. As the contestants moved on to the Knockouts, this new lineup made things more competitive.
