A petition has been made arguing that real-life couple Nick and Vanessa Lachey should be removed as host has reached almost 19k signatures as fans called out for new hosts of the dating show.
Fans were left unimpressed by the married couple’s behavior on the recent reunion episode and labeled it “cringey” and “biased.”

Viewers also blasted Vanessa for her “weird” obsession when she grilled the contestants on their plans to start a family.
The petition on Change.org is called “Remove Nick and Vanessa Lachey as the Hosts of Love is Blind’ and in the writing, it argues that the show has had “a ton of success” but there is a “large problem” – the hosts.

The petition reads “from the initial season, the hosts felt pretty useless and out of place.
“They seem to be much more concerned with directing as much attention at themselves and their personal lives rather than focusing on the contestants that are actually participating in the experiment.
“Many enjoy the show but it’s being held back from its full potential with cringy Nick and Vanessa Lachey.’
The petition then goes on to say: “Vanessa Lachey is domineering of every reunion and attempts to gain as much camera time as possible by cutting into every conversation, speaking over her husband and contestants, and very badly acting like she cares about members of the cast.

“Neither Nick or Vanessa make any effort to guide the cast through a confusing and emotional experience and blatantly attempt to stir up drama and leave.
“Other off-putting behavior includes Nick saying ‘Obviously – I’m Nick Lachey’ when introducing himself (we get it you’re a washed-up C-List celebrity congrats), letting the season 2 reunion get completely out of hand, and targeting certain contestants rather than treating them equally during the experiment.
It then goes on to say that the hosts make the show feel “poorly produced” and encourages people to sign the petition.

Not all fans agreed and some have praised the couple as hosts.
One took to Twitter writing: “This season of #loveisblind gave ALL it needed to give. Chaos, messiness and love amidst it all. Kudos to Nick and Vanessa Lachey for carrying us on this journey once more.”
Another said: “hot take vanessa lachey is a better host than nick and the show would be better if she did it solo.”
