CBS - Screenshot of Promo How can you vote for your favorite contestants on CBS' The World's Best? Read on for more information on voting, and tune in tonight at 8 p.m. EST for a new episode.
CBS’ new talent series The World’s Best features contestants from all over the world who get a chance to showcase their talents and battle it out to become “the world’s best. The winner takes home a million dollar cash prize. The series is hosted by James Corden and features a panel of judges that include Drew Barrymore, RuPaul Charles and Faith Hill.
But which of tonight’s contestants will be eliminated? We piece together who the most likely candidates to go home are based on sneak peeks and CBS previews. Tonight’s episode will feature another Battle Round, where each of the contestants are split up into groups to attempt to make it to the next round and avoid elimination.
Several Competitors Will Be Eliminated During Tonight’s Battle Round
They will be divided into different groups: Solo Music, Group Music, Solo Variety, and Group Variety. The show is airing a two-hour special for tonight’s battle round on CBS, starting at 9/8 c. There will also be a one hour episode airing Thursday, February 28 at the same time.
Based Early artists who will be facing elimination tonight are Space Cowboy and William Close. The former didn’t attain the necessary 75 votes to progress to the next round, but was chosen to return and prove himself a second time. Unfortunately for him, his opponent Nina Conti took the judges by storm and wound up winning by a sizable gap.
Fan Favorite the TNT Boys Will Also Be Competing for a Spot Tonight
William Close was teased as a possible victor in this week’s sneak peek, as he was shown smiling during a segment that featured clapping. As it turns out, the clapping was for his competitors, Naturally 7. Close lost by a whopping 30 plus votes to the vocal group, who notched an impressive 90 votes overall.
Tonight will also feature the beloved group the TNT Boys going up against the dance troupe Emotional Line. While both acts appear to receive rapturous praise from the judges, the popularity that the TNT Boys have amassed, both through The World’s Best audience and other celebrities such as Ariana Grande, who sang a duet with them onstage. All this leads us to believe that they will be advancing, and Emotional Line will be eliminated.
