Big Brother 2003 on official YouTube channel (Live streamed Aug 15-17 + 22-24)

More contradictory statements from BB (but backup for my argument above) in the current 2004 live chat: “we're not sure where they (replacement for damaged episodes) come from, we just get the error logs once the digitizing session is over”.

So it’s not done live, which was obvious and didn’t make much sense to begin with.

It really is 100% confirmed now... "Part 3" just ended, but not before looping back to the "STARTING SOON" caption, and the start of Eviction #5.

Feels like these rewatches kind of sum up the shows history itself - started with them just sticking everything online and seeing what happens then with each passing series they become more controlling of the content and make it more of an effort to watch.
