Inside Love Is Blind's catastrophic Reunion as fans call for presenters to be sacked

Love is Blind fans had been eagerly anticipating the live reunion special, but were left disappointed when the "embarrassing" finale finally aired.

The show was due to be live-streamed on Netflix on Sunday, but viewers were awkwardly left waiting after the platform crashed. Fans were up in arms over the delay and took to Twitter to share their anger.

"I want my time and money back," one viewer insisted. Another person joked: "Still….waiting…….getting old."

A third annoyed viewer tweeted: "Can someone just IG livestream at this point?!? Ugh."

Netflix were forced to apologise for the delay, before confirming a pre-recorded reunion would be released on Monday - 19 hours after its scheduled premiere.

When the show was finally aired, viewers weren't happy.

"Netflix should be EMBARRASSED," one fan tweeted. Another disappointed viewer said: "After all of that, it was just bland."

A third person wrote: "Is this the boring ass reunion all this commotion happened over?! they could have kept this. Such a lacklustre end to an entertaining season."

Things continued to go downhill for Love Is Blind: The Reunion, as fans called for hosts Vanessa and Nick Lachey to be fired following the "lacklustre" show.

Viewers accused the presenters of being "terrible hosts" and said they lacked chemistry with the cast.

Vanessa was also criticised for appearing to show favouritism towards Jackelina Bonds, who was in a love triangle with Marshall Glaze and Josh Demas.

"Andy cohen would’ve run the love is blind reunion like the NAVY. Get rid of Nick and Vanessa and get Andy in there with a dime bag," one fan tweeted.

Another said: "@Netflix…. The People Have Spoken….. They Gotta Go."

Fans were also left uncomfortable as Vanessa continued to ask cast members about their pregnancy plans, without thinking that not all women want to or can have children.

Fans were baffled as she said: "Who will be the first to have babies? Are you trying? I hope you are trying. By the way, are you trying?"

Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "Besides the delay, the worst part of the Love Is Blind reunion was Vanessa Lachey pressuring all of the couples to have babies."

"The push on babies on the Love is Blind reunion was kind of cringe," another said.

A third viewer commented: "They have no idea if some of them struggle with fertility, if some had already dealt with a miscarriage they aren't ready to talk about, etc."

Fan favourite Paul Peden has also revealed he was unhappy with host Vanessa Lachey's line of questioning.

The 29-year-old claimed the probing of his antics in the explosive reunion episode was tinted with "personal bias" and described it as an "interrogation".

Speaking to PEOPLE Magazine, he said: "It was drilling into these things, and I don't know."

Paul added: "I thought that I detected a little bit of personal bias there. I'm not sure what it was."

Since the show aired, a petition has been set up on Change.org to try and get Vanessa sacked from the show. So far, it has reached 1,042 signatures.

Despite the criticism of the reunion, Love Is Blind stars have blamed the chaos on the show's popularity.

Paul told TMZ it wasn't the streaming giants who were to blame for the mishap, but instead the volume of subscribers trying to tune in.

Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi had a similar message when the same question was posed to them in the airport.

Bliss said: "There is just so much love for the show that it just overwhelmed things."
