Many "Love Is Blind" fans tuned in for the show's live reunion Sunday night, but some didn't get to actually watch the Netflix special.

The season 4 "Love Is Blind" live reunion, hosted by Cincinnati-native Nick Lachey and his wife Vanessa, was slated to stream on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET. But the streaming giant ran into an unexpected delay when the show failed to load for viewers at home, causing the co-hosts to post a since-deleted video of themselves on the set of the reunion.

"Apparently y'all, everybody broke the internet to see this reunion! So we're ready to roll. We just gotta figure this out," Vanessa said, per Entertainment Tonight.

The model and actor also posted a photo on Twitter with "Love Is Blind" star Tiffany Pennywell half-asleep. The tweet was in reference to when Pennywell fell asleep on the show while her now-husband Brett Brown confessed his love for her.
