During his conversation with Andy Cohen, Lachey expressed his gratitude for the fellow talk-show host, noting that they both understand the difficulties that come with running a live segment “I appreciate what you said after the fact because I think very few people understand like you do what all goes into that and what’s involved,” he said, referring to how Cohen said in April that the Love Is Blind live segment was a “bad idea” from the start, since there’s “a lot of grist to go through before you get to the prime beef,” which is why reality shows are usually “edited down”. Lachey went on to back up Cohen’s previous point, noting that during the Love Is Blind live reunion, there wasn’t enough time to address all the drama that happened both during and after season four. “But to your point, a reunion, there’s so many things you want to flush out, so many things you want to get to and to try to do that in a timetable that’s finite is just not the way to go.” After confirming that he and co-host, wife Vanessa Lachey, only had an hour to host the reunion special, he recalled how he had to “cut people” off during the segment, with claims that Netflix producers encouraged him to do so. The singer’s brother, Drew Lachey, then shared his thoughts about the conversation, quipping: “I hear you guys talking about the ins and outs of it, and in my mind, all I can hear is: ‘Nick did something wrong.’” However, both of the TV hosts shut that claim down, with the Love Is Blind host responding: “In fact, I didn’t do anything wrong.” On 16 April, many Love Is Blind fans took to social media to express their fury about the live reunion being delayed, after it was initially expected to stream at 8pm ET.
