Blind auditions Unlike the previous three seasons, in the blind auditions (Provas Cegas), each coach was only given one superblock to use and prevent another coach from pitching for the artist. The superblock buttons could be used at any time until the artist has finished their audition. Additionally, each coach could use one 'Mega Block', which defaults the artist to their team. At the end of the blind auditions, Nena did not use any of her blocks.
This season, the team sizes were greatly reduced with each coach only receiving six spots on their team.
