Couldn't find a social media post on FB or X, but the marathon stream has been posted for BB06. (Assuming two weekends like BB05, since it's also 100 days)
In lieu, here's the link to Part 1:

It’ll be the same as the 2005 runtime, as will 2007. All split in eight parts over two weekends. 2006 also has less episodes than 2005 did. (2008 could be shorter though, maybe even fit into one weekend if they exclude Big Mouth.)

It will be interesting how they handle the controversies in this weekend’s marathon, and whether they’ll stream every episode unedited, including the John/Ashley interview. I hope they leave everything as is.

BB taking a stand against the Lachlan spam finally?

Dunno if I'll bother with this marathon. Since BB2005 was the last of the TEN-era to air in NZ back in the day, I've never watched these next three seasons. So it just doesn't have the nostalgia hit for me like the others have.

They might enable it closer to the marathon, to avoid certain people talking to themselves for the next 24 hours. Either way, won’t be too much of a loss if they decide to axe it completely.

But I doubt they’ll stop it. It provides a great deal of engagement for them. And it’s a positive way for them to engage with viewers in real-time in return.
 
Thanks for adding the posts. I must have just missed them. That Big Brother is a sneaky fellow sometimes!
I'm also interested in seeing the handling of the controversies.
 
Not sure if this is an unpopular I actually love this season! So much more than 2005. Part of this is definitely from life circumstances and living out of home and watching it with friends but I always enjoy it on a rewatch much more than 04 and 05.

I am looking forward to this.

I did the math the other week (have no life) and going by https://thetvdb.com/series/big-brother-au/
Season 5 is 86.8 hours
Season 6 is 98.76 hours (can do a weekly break down if anyone is keen)
Season 7 is 97.11 hours
Season 8 is 84.76 hours (with Big Mouth) or 76.21 hours (Without)

So S6 and S7 are the longest and might be 9 - 10-hour parts or 8 - 12.5-hour parts.

Jesus! Even that has surprised me. The last I checked* I'm 98% sure the 2006 episode count is lower than 2005 (even when you account for Uplate), because they also lost a few hours of programming with the axing of Adult's Only. Where did the extra 10-12 hours come from?

*I've been using my own archivals as reference so I haven't seen what info may be online.

I was surprised also but there are many daily shows that run over 40+ minutes (almost 1 a week) and FNL was 90 or 100 minutes in 2006 instead of 60 or 70 minutes in 2005.

Can't remember what it was but pretty certain it wasn't a "world first". Aussie TV still obsessed with promoting things as a "world first" and 9 times out of 10 they aren't - and when it is it often soon becomes quite obvious why nobody has done it.
 
BB6 is a fond memory for me. Most of my memories of OG BBAU are of season 6. Jamie, Camila and Farmer Dave specifically. Excited to re-watch!
