In the Voice What Does Blocked Mean?

The block allows one coach to prevent another coach from adding a contestant to their team. However, a coach only discovers they've been blocked if they decide to turn around for that artist. If the coach who's been blocked doesn't hit their button, the block doesn't count. Source: NBC.

How does blocking work in The Voice?

When a coach hits the block button with the name of the other three coaches, the coach who hit it automatically turns around. The “blocked” coach only discovers they are blocked if they press their button. If the coach doesn't press their button, the block is still available for another audition.
