It's already in the works that the season one success story Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton will replace the Lacheys on the popular Netflix dating show. "There's always been whispers about replacing them, especially now after the live reunion special, which was a complete disaster on so many levels," claims a source to Daily Mail.

Fans of the show were so over the couple this season as host after the way they interacted with the Love Is Blind couples on that awkward reunion. The source insists, "If they want to keep their ratings up, there's got to be a change."

Speed and Hamilton are a season one success story, and they have been married for almost five years. It's no secret that Netflix viewers are into the couple and would happily see them back. It makes sense from t show's perspective.

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

The couple would fit in perfectly on the show and can guide the new round of couples navigating the speedy (4-week) process. Realistically, what do the Lacheys know about the pods and their emotional and physical effects of it?

Speed and Hamilton are fan favorites. "They are down-to-earth, kind people who can help the contestants because they have walked in their shoes. People want to relate to the hosts — and at this point, they can't relate to Vanessa or Nick," claims the source.

Fans want the Lacheys gone so bad someone created a petition that amassed well over 50,000 signatures to have them removed as hosts. This is probably something that Netflix should take seriously.

'Love Is Blind' Petition Asks For Evolution

The petition, which can be found on Change.org, had a little blurb plainly explaining what they want to accomplish with this petition. "The show has had a ton of success but has one large problem - the host, Nick and Vanessa Lachey."

It laid out specific points that bothered them over the last four seasons and the changes they needed to see ASAP.

"The hosts felt pretty useless and out of place from the initial season. They seem more concerned with directing as much attention to themselves and their personal lives than focusing on the contestants participating in the experiment. Many enjoy the show, but it's being held back from its full potential with cringy Nick and Vanessa Lachey."

They disapproved of Nick shading his ex-wife Jessica Simpson by saying, "' Second marriages are always the best' on the season 3 reunion." They accused Vanessa of being "domineering" and wanting to suck up as much camera time as possible.

They implored fans to act on their viewership rights and sign the petition. "Join the thousands of Love is Blind fans in making the show evolve into the best version of itself by removing Nick and Vanessa Lachey as hosts and replacing them with…. Well, anyone else."

Damn. You heard em' Netflix.
