Blind auditions
The rules from the previous season are used again, as coaches could have an unlimited number of contestants on their team and finalize them at the end of the auditions. The blocking system returned from last season where coaches can block another coach only after the audition ended, and their chair will turn to the audience backwards. Each coach is given two super-blocks to use.[citation needed] In this season the Super Pass was introduced. Each coach can press this Button once in the Blind Auditions and while the other coaches get blocked, the contestants goes straight to The Battles.[4]

Knockouts
The rules for this round were changed again: after each contestant's solo performance, the respective coach will have to decide either the artist qualify for the next round, is directly eliminated, or is sent to the "Danger Zone" – at risk of elimination. Each coach advances three of their own artists, but also have one steal to use across the round for the eliminated contestants or in the "Danger Zone". After all members from one team have concluded their performances, the coach will save a number of artists from the "Danger Zone" to move on to the Playoffs. Contestants who are sent to the "Danger Zone" and not chosen by their coach are eliminated, but have a chance to be saved. Also, each coach set a theme for the songs, but each contestant would choose their song. Grafa's theme was "my dream first single", Dara's theme was "complete surprise", Ivan's theme was "the eternal hits - evergreens from the last 60 plus years of music history" and Maria's theme was "the greatest Bulgarian hits of the 21st century".
