S04.E13: The Live Reunion

[Whimsy]

Quote

Hosts Nick & Vanessa Lachey will join the cast for this front row seat as they unravel all the season’s twists and turns, share reactions to watching their stories unfold, and find out which couples are still together after saying “I do” and “I don’t.” Anything could happen! Literally, anything – because it’s LIVE!

Original airdate 4/16/23

Anyone else getting a Netflix error code when trying to watch the reunion?

[NeenerNeener]

I'm getting nothing at all.

I wondered how they were going to do "live" tv. Now I know the answer is "badly".

[ExMathMajor]

It’s at 25% and spinning…it’s 8:02 pm.

[Meedis]

Now the screen says..."It's Almost Time!   The live even will start soon."

[Dreamawake719]

Getting an error message as well. Wtg doing live tv Netflix. Exactly what you're not supposed to be. 

[NeenerNeener]

And the Roku just punted me out.

And again: We're having trouble playing this title right now. Try again later or watch something else".

Netflix, you should be embarrassed.

Big fat fail, Netflix. I'm irked.

[CSunshine76]

FAIL Netflix. Good grief.

[wait.what]

Maybe they had to call security on Jackie, Micah or Irina? Haha

[Starlight925]

Fail here too.  Trying via TV and laptop.

[Dreamawake719]

I'm irked too. It's only 6 min past air time and I'm already over it. Hopefully they'll make whatever is going on right now that we can't view, viewable after the fact.

[Starlight925]

Yeah, this whole thing better be available as an episode to watch.

Micah needs one more last minute lip injection.

[wait.what]

I can just imagine the drama happening and the cameramen ducking for cover as the fights break out. Haha. I can only dream. Nick is probably just running late. 

[NeenerNeener]

Tiffany is probably asleep by now.

[Tess23]

K, Netflix. No more price increases for you until you straighten right up.

[Starlight925]

Netflix don't be giving me an error code telling ME to check MY connection.

[coastal515]

I can't play anything on Netflix.  I need to finish binging Unstable.

 

[Lisapooh]

I'm glad it's not just me. I was fixing to have a fit as big as Brett's wedding day pants. 

[DearEvette]

...Waiting for the host to start the meeting...

[Starlight925]

All over Twitter.  Error messages.  It's not just us!

LOL at this tweet:  Love really is blind.  Can't see anything on my TV.

Edited April 17, 2023 by Starlight925

[DearEvette]

Netflix twitter said 15 mins late...

[NeenerNeener]

At 76% the last time it did spinning circles.

[Starlight925]

15 minutes ago, Netflix tweeted that it'll be on in 15 minutes. 

I'm gonna send them a watch...

[Dreamawake719]

I just want to say, that I'm glad I'm not the only one, but between having "a fit as big as Brett's wedding day pants", and "waiting for the host to start the meeting"... I'm not sure that I even need to watch now. Y'all amused me enough with those two posts 🤣. Not sure that anything I could watch will give me a chuckle as good as those

Correcting even more. Yay.

[NeenerNeener]

They're waiting for Jackie, who decided to skip the whole thing and have coffee with Josh again.

[NeenerNeener]

I had zoom calls with my doctors back in 2020 that didn't have as many technical difficulties as this.

[DearEvette]

I am cracking up!  Also kinda surprised how many celebrities actually watch this and are tweeting alongside the poors.

[Dreamawake719]

Your "15 minute" grace period is up, Netflix. I'm going to watch a scary movie instead. ... although, there isn't much difference between the two. Better luck next time.

[NeenerNeener]

On Twitter they're making jokes about Netflix having to send it out as a dvd.

[ExMathMajor]

And…I’m out. Pulling up some Nollywood right now (“A Simple Lie”).

[NeenerNeener]

I was sort of expecting some video glitches and audio drop outs, but not that they couldn't get it working at all.

Fergawdsakes, I have to sit through an average of 4 zoom calls a day for work meetings, so how hard can this be for a %#@&#^!@# tech company?!

[Dr Epi]

So much for appointment television!  

Gonna do my taxes with this annoying Netflix music in the background.  

While I am annoyed, I do feel for the Netflix technicians right now who must be pulling out their hair.  It has to be so nerve wracking to be a Netflix technician or exec or producer (or even the talent) right now.

true that - but our Zoom calls probably don't have hundreds of thousands of people on them at the same time.  I am not normaly a "big tech" person but I do feel for the people at Netflix right now.  

[1011101010001]

They should just record it at this point and post it when it’s over.

[Irlandesa]

They probably thought they proved they could do a live show with Chris Rock. 

They underestimated the global appeal of real person messiness compared to celeb messiness.

I knew I was right not to try to watch live.

In 9 minutes Succession starts on HBO. Watch the network traffic on Netflix drop to acceptable levels then...

Edited April 17, 2023 by NeenerNeener

[sainte-chapelle]

I can’t get Netflix to load at all. Back to 90 Day fiancée for me.

[Irlandesa]

The best thing about this are the memes of Tiffany sleeping, Brett saying this is unacceptable and avoidable (from his wedding) calls for Lucia to fix the mess, and roasting from Bravo, Hulu and others...

[SoMuchTV]

9:16 pm et - it’s on

[coastal515]

@SoMuchTV I got nothing.  The thumbnail has even changed and no more mention of the Live broadcast!  I'm so annoyed.

 

[topanga]

Tiffany moved to Portland?

It's on for me. 🤷‍♀️

[DearEvette]

Brett lived in Portland, but they didn't have an issue so that wasn't their story.

I knew he worked at Nike Headquarters (which is outside of Portland), but I never heard them discuss on camera where they would live. 

[Dr Epi]

It's on - you just have to scroll forward to when it actually started :)

[topanga]

Is Kwame being sincere, or is he FOS?

[Starlight925]

Still nada here.  On TV or laptop.  Loading, 25%, not playing.

Netflix just tweeted 8:29 CDT:

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. We're filming it now and we'll have it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible. Again, thank you and sorry.

He sounds so practiced.  Like he has PR training.  Also, Nick and Vanessa aren't asking good questions, imo.,  I wish they had pushed harder.  I needed them to ask Kwame why he cried so hard when Micah broke it off.  They let Kwame and Chelsea elide over a lot.

[DearEvette]

ZAck and Bliss actually bringing some thunder to Irina.  Even Vanessa got in on the act.  But Shut up Nick.

Me either.  The rest of Netflix just started working me so I can see other shows but still getting the error message for the reunion.  Doesn't sound like we're missing much?
