6 burning questions we have after watching the 'Love Is Blind' season 4 reunion

Netflix promoted the "Love Is Blind" season four reunion as a live event meant to start Sunday, April 16 at 8 p.m. ET. But, about an hour and a half later, when the show still hadn't started, the streaming platform had to release a tweet.

"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 tweet read in part.

We still don't know what happened, though. How come one of the biggest streaming platforms in the world couldn't get it together to livestream one event? I've never livestreamed on a social-media account before, but I know the button to push when I do.

Let's be real: Nick and Vanessa Lachey have never been a necessary part of the "Love Is Blind" process, whether they're in the pods or at the reunion.

Sure, they're married and they're both celebrities, but that's about all that qualifies them for the job. Neither of them began their respective careers as actors, and every line they deliver is awkward. Plus, any tidbit they reveal about married life feels calculated and scripted, like a bit they overrehearsed.

Vanessa certainly has powerful moments when she wants to confront someone she has a problem with, like when she masterfully called out Shake Chatterjee over his mistreatment of women in the season two reunion. She similarly called out Irina Solomonova for her bullying behavior on the live reunion, but it was just about the only incisive moment either of the Lacheys had as hosts this go-around.

Some fans are even calling for them to be replaced.

"Do you think Nick and Vanessa Lachey sleep with one eye open knowing these two should have their job?" one Twitter user wrote in a tweet that also included season one cast members Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed-Hamilton, who are one of the franchise's first success stories.

"I just once again want to know what crimes Nick and Vanessa Lachey have witnessed for the execs to keep them on payroll," another Twitter user wrote. "They're so awkward as hosts and have no chemistry with the cast lol."

One of the most awkward moments of the reunion came at the end when controversial season three cast member Bartise Bowden was featured in a video introducing the world to his baby son.

Vanessa then individually asked each of the women on stage when they were planning to have children.

I cannot overstate enough how inappropriate this question is under almost any circumstances, especially during a television event that's being streamed to millions of people. Many other viewers appeared to feel the same way, based on tweets about the episode.

Vanessa presumably doesn't know these women enough to know their personal or medical reproductive histories. Even if she did, she shouldn't have put anyone in the position to reveal them on television.

If some of the couples don't want to have children, that's also their business that they don't have to reveal to the world on demand. It was just a tacky moment.

Irina, one of the season's most controversial cast members, made an appearance at the reunion. Vanessa asked insightful questions about Irina's "mean girl" reputation and why Irina acted the way she did. She pointed out that Irina had spoken out during the season about her own experiences being bullied, which made it more confounding that she'd chosen to bully others.

But neither Nick nor Vanessa held Irina's best pod pal Micah Lussier equally accountable for similar behavior.

Zack Goytowski did eventually call her out for allegedly saying that she didn't want to marry her ex-fiancé Paul Peden. But throughout the season she was repeatedly complacent in watching and participating in nasty schemes and she never had to explain herself. When the attention turned to her during the reunion, she even joked that the heat hadn't been on her at all so she'd forgotten she was there.

One of the biggest controversies on "Love Is Blind" season four involved leaked messages Jackie Bonds allegedly sent to her friends about her then-fiancé Marshall Glaze.

In the leaked texts and Instagram direct messages, which were screenshot and shared on TikTok, someone identified as Jackie mocks Marshall and says they had to "make it stretch for TV." ("It" seemingly meaning their relationship.)

In the texts, the sender who is purportedly Jackie says that Marshall gives her "vibes," used to "twerk on the bed," and can sometimes be "sweet," adding that she didn't want to hear the friends in the group chat "YELLIN BOUT HOW HE GOT SUGAR IN HIS TANK" at her wedding.

Some have interpreted these as homophobic comments questioning Marshall's sexuality; whether or not they are homophobic, they're definitely not very nice things to say about your soon-to-be husband.

Jackie is currently dating another season four cast member, Josh Demas, but neither Jackie or Josh attended the reunion. In a pre-taped interview with Vanessa that was shown during the reunion, Jackie said she didn't start dating Josh before breaking up with Marshall. She and Josh also talked about their pets, their relationship of a year, and whether they have future plans for marriage.

But Vanessa never asked Jackie to directly address the leaked messages and, if they were genuine, she never questioned why Jackie wrote the things she did about Marshall. She also never asked Jackie why she seemed to question Marshall's masculinity during off-camera arguments referenced during the season.

However, after playing the video of Jackie's interview with Vanessa, in which Jackie referenced a "derogatory" term that Marshall called her, Marshall did admit that he joked about Jackie looking manly — and Vanessa did hold him accountable for that.

Speaking of Jackie and Marshall, he recently told Variety that he didn't want an apology from Jackie. "I'm just there so I don't get fined," he said of his reunion appearance, likely referencing Marshawn Lynch's famous one-liner during the 2015 Super Bowl press conference where he gave all the same answers to reporters' questions in order to fulfill his media obligation to the NFL.

While she may or may not have gotten literally fined, viewers (including myself) were curious how Jackie managed to escape the heat and opt out of appearing at the reunion in person. What exactly is required of "Love Is Blind" contestants who make it out of the pods and to the engagement stage of the show? Was that pre-taped interview really sufficient? It seemed like she got off really easy.

Representatives for Netflix and Vanessa Lachey didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
