It's being played off 64 original master tapes. There's obviously been staff from 10 there throughout the night.
From the YT chat:
bigbrotherau: once all the tapes are digitized we'll clean them up and upload them into playlists

From the way the Big Brother YouTube moderators have answered that question, it seems like they are streaming this stream straight off the tapes as their digitising process and will then edit each episode afterwards.

Just dropped in for a look, they're up to the fourth eviction, Gretel is doing her autocue lines from the stage ('there are 3 on the couch, and one is about to feel ouch of the pain of eviction..' LOL) and that part of the stage rotating around haha.
The prize for the dress up or whatever comp is a home entertainment system worth 20 grand, and ooh theres a shot of the PS2 remember when they had that as one of the eviction prizes

I doubt that as at least one of the episodes I watched on their live stream had a part edited out.
You can skip back in the stream.
Also, 2001: plasma TVs are worth $14k lol.
Which season did they start giving evictees cars?

2004? I think Chrissie won a Mitsubishi for finishing runner up in 03. But the cars were used 04-06? 06 was the year the prizes varied so I’m hazy on that. 07 had the scooters tho.
I can’t remember specifically which series but I think it was 04 where the evictee would arrive at the stage via a car and Gretel would tell them that they had won that very same car.

Yeah, I saw the edit on the first Sunday Nominations episode, but it had a production slate from Cutting Edge saying it was starting at Segment 2. Not sure what happened there. Two versions of the episode?

I think I remember Chrissie got a car for runner up in BB03, and I think after a certain point how far you got in BB04 it started to become a thing, like I remember Susannah getting one in BB07 (at about the week 6 mark was it?), but was it a thing from the start by then (Recall Nelson in BB05 expecting a car when he got booted out in that liars eviction thing they did in BB05 but Gretel was 'no prizes for you, soz') haha

There was an edit in episode 3. They were talking about barbecues in the shower and it skipped some dialogue for some reason. I compared it to original file I had to make sure.
It wasn't the audio dropout issues they've been having? Seems strange to skip a little bit of dialogue.

The video skipped forward around 10 to 20 seconds. Even when I hit rewind. Andy was naked in that scene, it was blurred but maybe that was the reason?

At least they're acknowledging issues, that's great to hear.
