According to the DailyMail, there has been an "outpouring of demands" to fire the "obnoxious" actors.

The "down to earth newlyweds" might be the perfect replacement for Nick and Vanessa.

"There’s always been whispers about replacing them, especially now after the live reunion special which was a complete disaster on so many levels," a Love is Blind insider told the publication.

 "If they want to keep their ratings up, there’s got to be a change."

Lauren and Cameron won the hearts of viewers when they met on Season One.

"Viewers feel a connection with Lauren and Cameron because they are the real deal," the source said.

"They are down-to-earth, kind people who can actually help the contestants because they have walked in their shoes."

The continued: "People want to relate to the hosts – and at this point they can’t relate to Vanessa or Nick."

"The Lacheys ruin this show with their bias & cluelessness. We need hosts that have been there in their shoes & not just someone who wants to stir up non existent drama," commented a third.

Vanessa was called out by fans for asking contestants who planned on having babies first and when they were having them.

SIGN THE PETITION

Thousands of fans took to social media to ask that the current hosts, especially Vanessa, be removed "for their cringy, condescending and obnoxious behavior towards contestants on the recent live reunion special watched by some 6.5 million viewers."

After the live reunion finally aired, a fan created a Change.org petition encouraging Netflix to bring on Lauren and Cameron.

"Join me in asking Netflix to replace Nick and Vanessa as host of LIB….. with LAUREN AND CAMERON HAMILTON. If you agree, please sign this petition and sign the one below to make Lauren and Cameron the new hosts!" the fan put in the description of the petition.

Fans were quick to show their support and sign the petition.

One wrote: "Cameron and Lauren were on the first season of Love is Blind and are proof that love can be blind. Not only have they been through it and can relate to the contestants but they’re just plain likable people."

Another said: "Nick and Vanessa Lachey proved that they are not the right choice as hosts of the show during the season 4 reunion. It’s time to save the show by making Cameron and Lauren the hosts moving forward!"

OFFLINE

Earlier this month, the Love Is Blind reunion was supposed to air on Netflix.

However, the streaming service went down, as thousands of people logged on to watch it and it never premiered.

Netflix planned to show the reunion at a later date, but was met with backlash from fans.

Viewers waiting to watch the live stream were quickly greeted with a message suggesting that the problem is being taken care of.

"There's an issue with the livestream. Hang tight! We're trying to fix it as soon as possible," the screen reads.

Netflix also responded to the outage on Twitter saying: "Love is ... late."

"#LoveIsBlindLIVE will be on in 15 minutes!" the company wrote.

The statement was shortly followed by a promise, with the company saying the show "will be worth the wait" with a photo of cast member Irina.

However, the show did not air until one hour and 20 minutes after its scheduled time.

TRUE LOVE

Lauren, 35, and Cameron, 32, fell in love, got engaged, and then married, just weeks within meeting each other.

They tied the knot on November 14, 2018.

The couple met on the first day of taping Season One, and fell in love instantly despite not meeting for one whole month.

Cameron is a scientist who founded the Artificial Intelligence company Alliance AI in 2019.
