Adding to the disdain for Snoop as a coach while including the other judges as well, another noted, “Snoop Dogg keeps saying the same things over and over. This is the worst set of judges they have ever had. I won’t be watching and see how the ratings go this year.”

Ahead of the season premiere, Reba McEntire and Snoop Dogg shared some words about what their strategies as coaches will be like for this season.

“So we’re only nine minutes into the show and Gwen Stefani is already irritating. Is she always gonna use Blake to try to get to the contestants [?] 🙄,” remarked a viewer of Stefani and her famous husband Blake Shelton, who used to be a judge on previous seasons.

Reactions were swift, with one social media user bluntly stating, “I feel bad for Pasha but I’m not shocked Tori went home.” The user continued to point out that although many people from Spelling’s generation are familiar with her and have followed her career over the years, her reputation isn’t exactly favorable.
