Classic BBAU 2002 stream this weekend on official Big Brother YouTube channel (Aug 8-10)

Yes agreed. I really can’t imagine something from so long ago that was designed to air once and never be seen again being dissected again all these years later. Yes they agreed to go on the show and have it broadcast but not for it be re-released later, especially when they have families and careers and have just generally moved on. This could also be said for the show itself but it’s unlikely to be too incriminating.
 
Whenever I’ve done a rewatch I find myself quite bored during the adults only episodes, but maybe that says more about me lol. I watch them regardless but I’m often tempted to skip them, I think of my much younger self who didn’t get to see them for earlier years and so I power through. But I do realise I might be the tiny minority there.

I think respectfully discussing the situation is one thing but taking about it like it’s not 20 years in the past is another.

IMO uncut was great in bb01 but from 02-04 there isn’t much that’s too memorable. 05 it picks up again but that’s probably because of the type of cast present for the season.
 
I didn't get much of a chance to watch this weekend. Battlefield 6 Beta, so you know. Priorities when I have time to waste.

Any standouts or new observations?
 
God, I miss this era of Big Brother. Hopefully this reboot is similar. Not like the channel 9/7 ones, I know it won't be the same but I'll take similar.
 
All episodes of season 2 have now been uploaded.
Almost all of the tapes I've seen so far are damaged and have quality issues.
The first nominations show is the worst I've seen so far image wise.
Looks like these should have been archived digitally sooner.

Interesting that almost all the tapes that glitch/freeze all do it for around 30 seconds.
I wonder if the tapes are actually ok and it's their conversion process instead?
The Intruders You Decide Special is particularly bad
