On Sunday night, the outcome of love really was blind… because of Netflix’s consistent streaming problems.
Eager fans signed onto the streamer to watch theLove Is Blindreunion at 8 p.m. ET — but were met with Netflix crashes, error messages, and a loading wheel of doom. Netflix’s screen told viewers there was “an Issue with the livestream” that caused the delay. “Hang tight! We’re trying to fix it as soon as possible,” the screen also read.
Netflix issued a tweet that said"Love Is…late," and that the show would start around 8:15 p.m., rather than the scheduled time. However, that time came and passed with frustrated viewers waiting for updates on eachLove Is Blindcouple.
HostsVanessaandNick Lacheyshared an Instagram video explaining the situation from set. “Apparently we broke the internet! Thank you guys so much for tuning in and being patient! ❤️ We’re here and READY!” Vanessa captioned the post. She showed a clip of the Netflix live audience, waiting for the chance to really go live. “Apparently, y’all, everybody broke the Internet to see this reunion,” she said, with Nick adding, “We’re ready to roll!”
Season 4 cast memberMarshall Glazegot in on the commentary with a hilarious post of “fixing” the problem. “I’m trying yall,” he shared.
Queer Eye’sKaramo Brownalso shaded the streamer with a reference to that viralAmerica’s Next Top Modelmeme. “We were rooting for you… we were all rooting for you! Learning something from this!#LoveIsBlind#LiveReunion,” he shared.
Selling Sunset’sChrishell Stausealso chimed in. She used loading screen music to signify her own wait for the special in a video shared to Twitter.
Other viewers used moments from the season to joke about Netflix’s wild delay. Some even pointed to HBO’s Sunday nightSuccessionepisode, which had the potential to overlap with Netflix’s delayed stream.
“Netflix, you have 34 minutes beforesuccessionandbarrytake away all the momentum you built for this reunion, embarrassing,” oneviewer wrote.
Throughout the ordeal, hashtags like “GET IT TOGETHER”, “WTF Netflix” and #loveislate caught attention on the social platform.
Sunday night’s program will feature couples fromLove Is Blind’sfourth season. Three of the five couples — Tiffany Pennywell and Brett Brown,Chelsea GriffinandKwame Appiahand Bliss Poureetezadi and Zack Goytowski — were married on the season finale.
