1Creator/{{Fox}} RealityShow carrying on Series/{{American Idol}}'s legacy of music competitions, and to fill a gap left by a ChannelHop to Creator/{{ABC}}. In short, at the beginning of each season, [[{{TitleDrop}} The Four]] initial hopefuls make their entrance, and from then until the finale, challengers try to appease the panel, and if they win them over, they choose a member of [[{{TitleDrop}} The Four]] to compete against, and if they win ''then'', they steal the member's seat. But if the ''member'' wins, they win their seat back. Either way, the seat is locked until the next week.
