Blockbuster Trolls Netflix Over ‘Love Is Blind’ Live Reunion Delay

It looks like Blockbuster decided to have some fun at Netflix's expense after the "Love Is Blind" season 4 reunion faced delays and technical issues.

This was the first reunion that was supposed to be streamed live, giving fans an opportunity to ask questions of the cast members in real time. Unfortunately, not only was the reunion delayed by over an hour, but it looks like the reunion wasn't live unless you were one of the lucky few sitting in the in-person audience.

Still, that didn't stop brands - namely Blockbuster - from jumping in on the fun after everything from "Love Is Blind" to "WTF Netflix" started trending last night.

Although the program was supposed to start at 8 PM ET, Netflix took to Twitter a few minutes after the start date to say, "Love is ... late. #LoveIsBlindLIVE Will be on in 15 minutes!"

Blockbuster clapped back with, "Remember renting vhs’ from us. You could start it on time no problem… This is what we get."

However, the delay stretched way beyond the fifteen-minute mark, and Netflix deleted the tweet shortly after posting. Still, that didn't stop Redbox from hopping in on the fun, offering "Solidarity" with Blockbuster in the wake of Netflix's tech issues.

Although many viewers reported technical issues with Netflix on Sunday night, the streamer has not actually given a reason as to why the reunion was delayed.

That being said, they did say that they were "incredibly sorry" that the reunion did not go as they had planned.

About an hour and a half after the live reunion was expected to start, Netflix issued an apology "To everyone who stayed up late, woke up early, gave up their Sunday afternoon," adding, "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," they concluded. In the comments, some users replied that they were able to get in and watch the live stream while others said that they could not get in at all.

However, Pluto TV saw an opportunity for some free advertising, showing off a screenshot of an ad for free TV along with the caption, "Meanwhile." The What's Trending account replied, "PlutoTV the one girl causing ruckus in the group chat."

They weren't the only ones. The Paramount+ streaming service commented, "Love may be blind but we SEE you, @netflix social team. Pouring one out for your mentions tonight."

Even AriZona Iced Tea decided to get in on the fun, tweeting, "Netflix doesn't have the tea right now, but we do."

Just before 2 AM ET, Netflix shared a photo of hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey posing with the cast.

They are all holding up four fingers to represent season four. Although some lucky few were able to watch the live stream, it seems that others will have to wait until 3 PM ET on Monday afternoon to watch it.

"Love Is Blind: The Reunion will be available globally at 12pm PT on April 17," Netflix tweeted, adding, "Promise."
