Love is Blind … and apparently late.
The hit Netflix reality dating show caused an uproar across social media Sunday – with several firms even throwing shade – after a livestream of its special reunion episode was delayed for greater than an hour.
“Love is Blind” Season 4 contestants were expected to be interviewed on the show since they tied the knot after getting engaged without ever seeing one another.
Viewers tuning in at 8 p.m. ET saw a message that said there’s a problem with the livestream and to hold tight.
Within the meantime, firms flooded the show’s Instagram livestream demanding answers and the promised programming.
“This wait is longer than our menu,” the Cheesecake Factory proclaimed. “Come on now.”
“Alright we’d like marshall and we’d like him now,” MTV commented, referring to the popular contestant. “Possibly cable TV made some points.”
The reunion special was Netflix’s second-ever live broadcast by itself platform.
“While Netflix figures things out, come shop @ebay,” ebay pleaded.
Even Blockbuster chimed in.
“Remember renting vhs’ from us. You might start it on time no problem… That is what we get,” its Twitter account blasted out.
Vanessa Lachey, who’s co-hosting “Love Is Blind: The Live Reunion” together with her husband Nick Lachey, provided an update as the web went berserk.
“We’re able to roll, we just gotta figure this out,” Vanessa Lachay said. “We’re getting every part to work.”
She vowed, “We usually are not asking any inquiries to anybody until we’re streaming live into your living rooms, onto your phones, onto your tablets, whatever you’re watching on.”
Netflix acknowledged the delay on Twitter — first promising it could start quarter-hour late before adding : “Promise #LoveIsBlindLIVE will likely be well worth the wait….”
The show eventually aired at around 9:16 p.m. — though some Netflix users still reported issues accessing the stream.
“We’re sorry we’re late,” Vanessa Lachey said at the highest of the stream. “And all of you at home, you haven’t missed a thing. We’ve actually been sitting in these couches, not talking to one another so we are able to save all of the tea for you.”
