"To everyone who stayed up late, woke up early, gave up their Sunday afternoon… we are incredibly sorry that the Love is Blind Live Reunion did not turn out as we had planned," the show said in a tweet shortly after the problem was resolved.

When the show was finally on-air, no time was wasted before the drama began.

One of the most anticipated appearances on the show was from Irina.

Irina was engaged to Zack after he chose to propose to her over fellow pod member Bliss Poureetezadi.

However, their relationship quickly went south on their trip to Mexico.

"If we're real - you went on this show to be famous," Zack told Irina on Sunday night's reunion.

The live audience quickly reacted to the explosive comment, with shocked gasps spreading around the studio.

Fans were also eager to have clarification from Paul on a controversial moment from his wedding to Micah Lussier.

After the wedding episode aired, eagle-eyed viewers caught a moment that they believed showed Paul spanking one of Micah's bridesmaids.

Nick and Vanessa Lachey did not shy away from getting clarification from the source himself.

"To imply that that was anything more than just me gesturing, acknowledging that I was squeezing past her - kind of bumped into her shoulder - is literally absurd," Paul responded.

SHOCKING NO SHOW

One couple that fans were eager to see on the show was Jackie and Josh.

Jackie Bonds had accepted a proposal from Marshall Glaze. However, she soon regretted the choice when the couple started living together.

As Jackie and Marshall's relationship dissolved, Jackie met up with Josh Demas - a previous love interest in the pods - and decided to start a relationship with him.

To fans' dismay, the new couple did not appear live on Sunday's show and instead were part of a pre-recorded interview with Vanessa.

But the reunion's drama had started way before the program even began as millions of fans were forced to wait nearly 90 minutes due to a technical delay.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER?

Netflix was slammed after millions of viewers were experiencing technical difficulties when attempting to watch the highly-anticipated reunion on Sunday night.

The streaming platform took to Twitter to announce: "Don't miss the LIVE reunion, airing TONIGHT on @netflix at 5pm PT/8pm ET!"

They continued as the clock struck its promised air time: "The Season 4 Finale is now streaming."

But after users encountered difficulties watching the live Love is Blind Reunion, the streamer followed up the premature announcement by tweeting: "Love is ... late #LoveIsBlindLIVE will be on in 15 minutes!"

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

People expressed their frustration regarding the incident on social media.

"Of course Netflix is not working after they've hyped this live reunion for weeks.," one person wrote.

Others questioned whether the company should offer live-streaming services at all.

"Perhaps your platform isn't set up for live streaming... so maybe don't offer it?" they questioned.

TOO LATE TO SAY SORRY

After a nearly 90-minute delay, and as Netflix was forced to kick many users out of their accounts in order to make the livestream work, the season four reunion special finally commenced.

Vanessa immediately apologized to frustrated viewers at the top of the episode, stating: "I want to say we are sorry we're late."

Netflix also issued a formal apology on its Twitter account.

However, by the time the reunion finally aired, it was too late for many fans who claimed they jump-shipped to HBO for tonight's new episodes of Succession and Barry.

"Okay Netflix it's been an hour of waiting for nothing, I'm out of here. You play stupid game, you win stupid prizes," one user wrote.
