See every contestant who advanced on 'The Voice' season 27 — and which celeb coach's team they're on
Coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, John Legend, and Adam Levine are seated in the red chairs this season, which had its premiere Monday night and has already offered some shining moments. Viewers have watched as Levine returned to the NBC reality competition for the first time since 2019, when he took a break to spend time with his family. While his friendly rival Blake Shelton isn't on the panel anymore, the other coaches are keeping him on his toes.
Country star Ballerini, meanwhile, had served as a mentor before and filled in for coach Kelly Clarkson, but this is her inaugural season as a coach — with a spinning chair, that is. Ballerini was the "fifth coach" in season 15 for the competition's "Comeback Stage" digital series, in which she met with six Blind Auditions artists who didn't get chair turns and competed for a spot in the top 13 Live Shows.
Former coach Reba McEntire is cheering on Ballerini, who found a note from McEntire in the Feb. 3 premiere. "Dear Kelsea, I heard you would be the new coach this season, and I'm just so excited for you," the "Fancy" artist wrote. "It's up to you to keep country alive on the show, and I know you'll do a terrific job." She advised Ballerini to "go out there and show those boys who's the boss."
All four coaches are on their way to assembling their teams of 12, which they'll take with them through Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs, and Live Performance Shows.
And the contestants have really brought it, as always. Here's a list of who's moving forward and whose team they're on.

'The Traitors' Spinoff Featuring Regular Civilians Is Heading to NBC
This is the first time a U.S. version of 'The Traitors' will feature a cast entirely comprised of non-celebrities NEED TO KNOW A spinoff of The Traitors featuring non-celebrities is set to premiere on NBC The franchise has featured normal people in the past, including season 1 of the U.S. version and various seasons in other countries The most recent installment of The Traitors U.S., which airs on Peacock, concluded in March A new version of The Traitors is coming to NBC! A spinoff of the popular competition series was announced by Vulture on Thursday, Aug. 14, which will feature a cast made up entirely of regular civilians, who have not appeared on reality shows in the past. However, the series will be feature a familiar face — host Alan Cumming — and be filmed at the show's iconic Scottish castle. Production on the new series is set to begin next year while the original show's fourth season will also premiere in 2026, according to the outlet. PEOPLE has reached out to reps at Peacock for comment. The Traitors has featured non-celebrities in the past. While this is the first time a U.S. iteration of The Traitors — which airs on Peacock — will not feature any celebrities at all, the season 1 cast did include 10 normies who went up against 10 reality stars. However, this did not carry into the following two seasons, which had an all-celebrity cast. The upcoming offshoot more closely resembles other countries' versions of The Traitors. The U.K. version has consistently stuck to a cast of civilians, while Australia did the same for its initial season before integrating celebrities in for the next one. New Zealand, on the other hand, featured a combination in season 1, but switched to only civilians for season 2. The Emmy-winning competition series follows a group of famous faces as they play the ultimate murder mystery challenge. In the beginning, each player is secretly assigned as either a Faithful or a Traitor before going head-to-head in a game of deception, strategy and survival. Set in an ancient castle in Scotland, the contestants must complete high-stakes missions that can add money to the prize pot, all while the Traitors work to keep their true identities under wraps. If the Faithfuls successfully eliminate all of the Traitors by the end, they split the winnings, but if even one Traitor remains, that Traitor gets to keep the entire jackpot for themselves. The Traitors debuted in the U.S. in January 2023 and wrapped its most recent installment, season 3, in March 2025. The cast featured a variety of fan-favorite television personalities, including alums of Big Brother, Survivor and The Bachelorette. Viewers witnessed an intense competition, with a jaw-dropping traitor-on-traitor warfare between Rob Mariano, Carolyn Wiger, Bob the Drag Queen and Danielle Reyes, who later recruited Faithful Britney Haynes. In the end, a record-breaking four faithfuls — Dolores Catania, Dylan Efron, Ivar Mountbatten and Gabby Windey — each walked away as winners with a share of $204,300. According to Variety, the hit show was renewed for seasons 4 and 5 in August 2024. Cumming is also set to return, per the outlet.

'The Biggest Loser 'Contestant Who 'Died' During First Challenge Felt Like the Reality Show Was Her 'Only Hope'
Tracey Yukich opens up about her experience on the NBC reality show in Netflix's new docuseries 'Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser' NEED TO KNOW Tracey Yukich is opening up about her experience on season 8 of The Biggest Loser in Netflix's new show Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser, available to stream now In the docuseries, Yukich recalls collapsing during the first challenge and having to be transported to the hospital by helicopter "I knew I died that day," she says of her medical emergency on the NBC show When Tracey Yukich decided to attend a The Biggest Loser casting call, she had no idea just how much her life was about to change. The season 8 contestant, who is featured in Netflix's new documentary Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser, remembers feeling like the show could 'fix' her. 'The idea of being on The Biggest Loser, I felt like ... maybe it would fix my marriage, maybe it would fix me,' she says in episode one of the three-part series that premiered on Friday, Aug. 15. 'Maybe it would make me a better mom, a better friend.' 'I felt like my weight and everything about it was something that constantly was bringing me down," she says. "I wanted to change my life and I do feel like at that time that it was, like, my only hope' However, the odds appeared to be stacked against her from the start when during the first challenge, which would determine her spot on the show, she faced a frightening medical emergency. The contestants, who had been held at a hotel 'for days,' were picked up in a bus and driven to a beach where they were told they had to run a mile. Those who crossed the finish line would officially be on the show. 'In my head, I'm like, 'I can run, I've got four kids, I'm running after them all the time,' " she recalls. 'But it was the longest mile, ever.' Danny Cahill, who went on to win the season, remembers noticing how determined she was, noting that she 'didn't pace anything.' And while she started off strong, Yukich says her body started 'to shut down' and her legs felt 'like lead.' Footage shared in the documentary shows her collapsing on the beach and being assisted by someone on staff. 'But I told myself 'I'm gonna do it,' because I wanted to change my life,' she says in the documentary. The other contestants helped her complete the race as she 'physically could not get up,' though as soon as she crossed the finish line, she collapsed onto the beach and became unresponsive. A helicopter was called in to medevac her to the hospital. 'When the helicopter came we were all scared to death' Cahill remembers. 'I just felt like I was floating,' Yukich says while admitting she doesn't 'remember a lot' from the incident. 'And then my grandpa was there and then I saw darkness but then I saw light, so I knew I died that day.' Yukich later found out that she had rhabdomyolysis which she described as 'your body's way of saying 'I'm going to shut down on you.' " The show's doctor, Robert Huizenga, met her at the hospital. More than a decade later, he was moved to tears recalling what she went through. 'It's kind of like my kids I guess, you know, the show could have done a better job,' he says. 'They didn't alert me of the challenge. I mean, I should be at every one of the challenges.' PEOPLE has reached out to NBC for comment on the claims made by Yukich and Huizenga in Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser. Huizenga said that when discussions started to suggest that Yukich would be going home, 'she was really angry.' 'She didn't want to go home,' he says, before telling the interviewer, 'But I'll let you ask her why she so desperately wanted to stay on the show.' In the emotional interview, Yukich opens about what was going on in her marriage, saying that infidelity was 'just a snippet.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. 'I thought it was my fault because I was fat,' she says, later adding, 'I don't want to be disrespected, I don't want to be yelled at, I don't want to be harmed, I don't want you to tell me what I can do and can't do.' Yukich says that after opening up to Huizenga, she remembers him telling her: 'This is exactly what you need. You need to go on the show, Tracey. He's like, 'You don't need to go back to your life, you need to create a new one and start right here.' " Looking back at a photo of the two completing the Boston Marathon together, Huizenga remarks, 'What an attitude by this person, like, this is a role model to me.' Reflecting on her time on the show, Yukich says knowing if she'd do it all over again is 'impossible to answer,' but the experience undoubtedly changed her life. 'I definitely think that if I hadn't have gone on the show and experienced everything that I did experience I would have never had the strength to make some serious changes in my life,' she said. Since she was on The Biggest Loser, Yukich has remarried and now shares a blended family with her new husband. Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser is streaming now on Netflix.
