Both Rita and fellow judge Jess Mauboy turned around for the 28-year-old singer after she wowed the audience with her rendition of Lizzo’s About Damn Time.
But soon after Ezra started talking to Jess, she revealed they shared a mutual connection – the judge was once in the girl group Young Divas with the Voice contestant’s sister, Emily Williams.
“Yeah, we go way back,” Jess admitted. “Wow. Love you. This connection is strong!”

After seeing the pair’s intense reaction to one another, Rita asked: “Quick question: do I even need to pitch?
“I kind of feel like I’ve just been axed out.”
After deliberating, Ezra eventually chose Team Jess, leading to excited scenes between her and the contestant.

“Family, family. It’s a connection, family stays together,” Jess said.
While chatting with all the judges after Ezra had left the stage, Rita said she was close to using her “block” on Jess.
The move would’ve stopped the contestant from choosing Mauboy, despite their obvious connection.

“Jess, I was so close to using that block on you!” Rita said, shaking her head.
“Ooooooooh. I was like this [hovering her hand over the block button], wasn’t I Jason?
“But then I thought, ‘Care about the contestant.’ You would’ve been better for her.”
It was then that Guy fired off his cheeky remark.
