Rewatch Big Brother 2008 YouTube stream (Starts 7am 25 Oct)

[jessy_girl]

I know they said at some point they had legal clearance to air 08 but I did wonder what that even referred to versus any other season. I don’t imagine anything too sinister has happened and it’s just as theorised above.

Really adds to the whole fever dream vibe of this season. Did it even happen?

No they did that for all seasons, obviously. It wasn’t just 2008 lol. It was just the season they happened to mention at the time.

I've been planning to rip them all from Youtube because they'll be the highest quality ones ever avavailable.

Probably a silly question, but is there a specific website that you can recommend to download the full streams in their original quality?

Ok this makes sense. To clarify, I do understand that legal clearance is required for all seasons, I just misinterpreted that they had it for all of them and not 08 but I guess I never saw the original context.

Given the size of the marathon streams, use a third-party software rather than a website.

I use yt-dlp to rip things from Youtube (and everywhere else). You need to be comfortable with using a command line tho.

FYI the streams are the best quality to retain the episodes in their original broadcast quality while you can. The individually uploaded ones are obviously still amazing but have all been re-encoded, compressed and they’ve excessively upped the colour saturation on every episode. The colour especially looks awful on a HD big screen.

I use Video Downloader Linux app (probably not much help)

whyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Edit: it could potentially be Youtube encoding of webm video.

 

[timmy]

whyyyyyyyyyyyyy

omg really. What was the point in digitising them only to do it again? Madness.

 

[timmy]

ok so I'm a glutton for punishment and watching the launch anyway. The HM's treasured items they handed over, they never got mentioned again, IIRC?

Oh dog though, Terri... Saxon... kill me now.

So what favourite (or terrible) 08 moment were you anticipating to rewatch in higher quality?

How about Brigitte's shoe throwing hand grenade meltdown? Bianca throwing a bunch of drying clothes into the pool in a fit of rage? What else? (Bonus points if you remember what day # it was from )

The Rima mole incident on Day 63-66, and Renee and Alice va Bianca on Day 35!

Also the Travis and Alice spa incident on Day 40ish

Yes, I forgot about that, literally never mentioned again, I wonder if they actually had any particular plan there? And pretty sure the lockers with the false backs proved to not be a thing either.

I’m getting FOMO now!

 

[Will McDougle]

Same here. I’m really disappointed this didn’t happen!

This was the one season I watched when it aired and I was really looking forward to watching it. Really disappointed here!

Was a terrible season, good riddance

Vile and Tacky Ho were an abomination to the series and legacy

And they are so stiff and going through the motions at the launch. Even Gretel at her worst wasn't nearly as bad as these two. There's like zero chemistry.

Jackie O would have been so much better solo or with Mike Goldman!!

 

[Afflllate]

Jackie O to that point had only hosted Popstars and iirc one or two series of 'Australian Princess' in like 05 or 06 before this.

Also who were our bit of eye candy this season I remember liking Cherry.

The consensus a couple weeks ago was most of us loved Ben. He was def my crush at the time.
