On Monday, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton were forced to eliminate one member of each of their teams in a shocking instant elimination.
The Hollywood Reporter attended the live show to bring you the behind-the-scenes details that the home audience didnt get to see.

Here are 9 things that went down when the cameras werent rolling.
1. Not-so-live. Adam Levine and Maroon 5 performed during the show or so it seemed. The performance was actually pre-recorded 30 minutes before the show went live. Levine and Co. ran through the performance of their new single, Payphone, which features Wiz Khalifa, twice. After the first performance, Levine said, "I gotta hear myself man. I couldnt hear s--t."
2. A new record. Before the show began, the warm up guy congratulated Shelton on his 11th No. 1 single. He asked Shelton if that was more than Levine had. Its probably more than the other three [judges] combined, Shelton joked.

3. Positive thoughts. During the commercial break after the first live performance, the warm-up guy told the audience to please resist booing if they werent happy with a performance. Were a very positive show, he said.
4. Friendly with fans. During one commercial break, Aguilera got up from her coachs chair to hug a member of the audience after the warm-up guy found out that he was wearing a Team Christina shirt. But that wasnt the end of his fandomhe also had her name tattooed on the back of his neck. Later on, Levine also hugged a member of the audience who told the warm-up guy she was his fan. He did a little dance with her, and signed her Maroon 5 shirt.

5. Its still hot. As weve mentioned previously, its hot on that stage. And it continued to be hot tonight. Aguilera had brought her own paper fan with her. At one point Levine helped out fellow coach Cee Lo Green by fanning him with a piece of paper.
6. A true gentleman. While Chris Mann was waiting onstage for his performance to begin, he offered up a hand to the dancer/violinists as they climbed the stairs to the platform for his performance.

7. Kick off those heels. After Christina Aguileras performance with her team, she kicked off her killer heels the minute the cameras stopped rolling. She quickly ran off the stage to change in time for Ashleys performance. She made it back to her chair with about two minutes to spare.
8. Touch-ups. While all of the coaches are usually given makeup and hair touch-ups during the commercial breaks, the prize for the most makeup touch-ups goes to Aguilera and perhaps surprisingly -- Green. A lot of work seems to go into keeping Greens head from shining too much on camera.
9. On the red carpet. After the show, eliminated contestant Jesse was pulled aside by Christina Millian. He told THR that Millian told him that she was shocked by his elimination. She knows that the world hasnt seen the last of me, he told THR.
