How It Works: 1. Each coach pairs up his or her team, they are usually paired based on similar style, voice or genre. This helps the coach create their strongest team of six to enter the final round. The thought behind pairing similar contestants is to have the strongest vocalist for a certain style instead of having an entire team of strong vocalists that all sound the same and have the same style. The downside to pairing this way is that sometimes the strongest vocalists get paired and then one of them has to leave.
2. The coach will choose a song that the contestants will then sing together. They will have solo bits, usually the verses, and parts where they are creating harmonies, usually on the chorus. They will also get coaching from their coach and advisors. Each coach has chosen two advisors to help them, one per contestant per battle. Adam's advisors are Alanis Morissette and Robin Thicke. Blake's advisors include his wife Miranda Lambert and Kelly Clarkson. Cee Lo has chosen Babyface and Ne-Yo as his advisors. Christina chose Lionel Richie and Jewel as her advisors.
3. They battle it out "in the ring." The stage is transformed into what is meant to look like a boxing ring. They also have intros for the contestants just like at a boxing match. After they finish the song the coaches, first the three that aren't their coach, give their thoughts on the performance and who they would have chosen.
4. Their coach must then choose who they believe sang the song better. Sometimes its not necessarily the better singer in the moment but the contestant that they believe will be able to grow more and have a shot at winning the competition. This decision is far from easy, but it needs to be made.
In future posts I will try my best (no promises, everyone slips occasionally) to not give away who was chosen or kicked off but I will try to either include video or links to video of each performance so if you did miss it you could choose to watch and see what the coaches decided. I will also be numbering them in the order in which they appeared on T.V.

This is a very clear and well written post for the non-viewer.
