haha, that's funny about The Voice, yeah the sob stories always seem to make it but unlike AGT or X Factor, at least on The Voice the judges (at least as we are told) are unaware of the backstory during the blind rounds.

I understand that they need the lead ins because if the show was just the pranks, it would only be a 5 minute show, but in this show, they seem particularly boring. Also, the bits where the Stranger Things dude is pretending to be in charge of a trailer filled with adults... it is clearly staged but still irritating.
