Advice from the expert. Andy Cohen used his hosting experience at Bravo to weigh in on what went wrong with Netflix’s first live Love Is Blind reunion special.
“Live reunions are a very bad idea,” the executive producer, 44, said on the Monday, April 17, episode of his radio show, SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, referring to the planned season 4 reunion for Love Is Blind. “There is a reason we don’t do reunions live.”
Netflix made headlines on Sunday, April 16, after users couldn’t watch the season 4 special at its advertised time. The episode, which was set to premiere at 8 p.m. ET, was ultimately filmed for a live audience and uploaded the following day.
“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 company tweeted about the technical difficulties. “We’re filming it now and we’ll have it on Netflix as soon as humanly possible. Again, thank you and sorry.”
Cohen, for his part, explained why the Love Is Blind live reunion was doomed from the start.
“There is a reason [reunion episodes are] edited down. We could talk about a topic on a reunion taping for 25 minutes, for 45 minutes before really getting to the heart of something,” he said on Monday. “Reunion shows are almost like a fishing expedition. You’re talking about different topics [and] you don’t know what’s going to land [or] what’s going to hit. By the way, a lot of times people will have incredible one-liners that no one in the room really heard because someone on the other side is talking. So we go through the footage, we hone it, we edit it [and it] is finally shaped.”
