‘It’s just a really hard decision,’ Gwen said.
Gwen ultimately chose Gabrielle.
‘Gabrielle really stepped it up,’ Gwen said.
Frankie was saying her goodbyes and was hugging Gwen and Snoop Dogg goodbye when Reba hit her button.
‘Steal at the last possible second,’ Host Carson Daly, 51, said.

‘After rehearing today I feel like I really picked the right coach,’ ChrisDeo said.
Snoop swayed in his chair as his team sang together for a live audience.
‘When you guys were singing together it was really wonderful,’ Reba said. ‘You all three are great, great singers.’
Reba said she would go with ChrisDeo and she almost started crying after hearing it. Gwen told ChrisDeo that she was ‘super impressed’ with her.
‘First I caught the gangster Holy Ghost again but this time it was more like chills,’ Snoop said. ‘Because Mister Moon y’all singing together all the time. She sings solo, but to see y’all come together and to show real harmony, real sisterhood, and complement each other, that made me feel good.’
Snoop ended up picking ChrisDeo as the winner. He said it was a tough decision. ChrisDeo was stunned and hugged MisterMoon and then Snoop.
‘I made Team Snoop!’ ChrisDeo said.
