Nick Lachey Jokes About Being Stranded Without Netflix As Fans React To Perfect Match

Nick Lachey is almost literally leaning onto the island life. The singer and reality TV host posted something funny from the tropical paradise and yet brought up the number one inconvenience: no Netflix.

This picture depicts Lachey walking barefoot on the pure white beach. The torn burgundy suit makes the man look playful and lost, somewhat like that of a shipwrecked castaway. In the backdrop, there seems to be a shelter made out of wooden sticks and fishing nets, upping the desert island feeling, with nautical props such as coiled ropes and a glass float being haphazardly scattered about. Lachey hardly has any problems, he says in the caption, with the view being the least of them: “Reception’s rough out here and my beachfront villa doesn’t come with @netflix….. someone fill me in on #PerfectMatch so far ⬇️.”

The post with loads of heavy irony because he is indeed the host of Netflix’s Perfect Match received huge reactions from followers who couldn’t wait to update him or just simply have fun doing so.

One user plied, “Is it 98 Degrees and rising? ;)”—a cheeky allusion to Lachey’s boyband days—while one more compared strong similarities between him and Tom Hanks: “You look like Tom Hanks 😂,” referring to Hanks’ star-making performance in Cast Away.

Then others took this opportunity to gush over Perfect Match’s latest season: “Best start to the season ever!!!! ❤️🔥😍” while another wrote, “The hair is on point for you being ‘stuck’ on a tropical island! 👏🙌😍😂🏝️ Enjoying the hot mess that is #PerfectMatch so far!!!”

Even his former 98 Degrees teammate Jeff Timmons jokingly cried out for rescue: “We’ll come save you as in @98degrees so you know all the dets! 🔥”

Others weren’t really talking about the TV show. Some remarked upon the rugged island style of Lachey: one fan just commented, “Love that facial hair! 😍,” while another randomly complimented Lachey’s feet: “Dammm you have perfect feet Bro 👣 😍🤤”—showing that nothing goes unsaid on the web.

Amidst the banter, many fans showed genuine excitement for the show: “I just started watching during my work lunch hr. Pls… no spoilers❤️,” one commented, while another said, “I’m all caught up. I just finished watching the 6th episode. 😊.”

Although awkwardly funny, Lachey’s post comedically touches on that almost special phenomena witnessed between celebrity and audience, momentous occasions or even staged moments such as “stranded” that receive a ton of engagement, humor, and excitement. Does Lachey really need catching up on Perfect Match or is he just leaning into the bit for show? What is clear is that the audience stands ready to keep him in the loop.

Speaking of the show, season 3 started with a bang, it seems; the audience highly regards that drama-packed beginning. And if Lachey is really without Netflix, then he has at least a whole bunch of fans to fill him in on every wild step along the way.
