Viewers realised in retrospect that they have slightly overreacted to the show.
Yes, the show left many relationships completely shattered and at some point people even thought it might get cheaters killed. However, watching the two-hour special on Sunday, all tweeps could say was how much they wished they could go back to such a time.
Some realised that when you put Covid-19 into the mix and everything that the coronavirus brought with it, like limited human rights, a reality show about cheating partners suddenly didn't seem "like a big deal".
As it turns out, tweeps love the "trash TV" and dramatic nature of the participants, and when they thought about it, they would take that reality over coronavirus any day.
Which explains why most tweeps opted to watch the special instead of the movie Contagion ,which aired at the same time on a different channel.
