BBBA Podcasts should make a comeback also, Many a LOL and they often were train entertainment on my Ipod back in the day. Off Topics too haha. ;)

Yeah Diary room mix and that song on the 2002 one 'What Cha Gonna Do' by 'Cry Baby'? iirc was a jam.

I saw another reply from BB on the YT chat about uploading FNG as well, so I dare say they may do Uncut? They've got their work cut out for them that's for sure 😂

Also BB01 was available in Wide Screen at the time of broadcast, so it should be digitised in that format surely?

They won't be able to put Uncut on Youtube, but they could put it on 10play possibly. I'm kind of surprised they are using Youtube for this, but it definitely increases their reach massively so it makes sense.

If they manage to get TVNZ or Three to air the new show in NZ they could possibly relax their geoblocks for 10.com.au which would be good. But I think NZ might be wary after previous seasons tanked there, but especially when they were airing them days/weeks after the AU air dates. If Three's desperate they should air them live - 7pm AEST is 9pm in NZ - do they really have anything better to offer? It might actually pull a late night audience for them.

They could just blur any nudity for YouTube. That’s what they do with BB Germany. All the scenes and conversations that Australia had on Uncut were part of the regular daily and live shows. And they are all uploaded with blurred body parts, even on European platforms that care less about the nudity.

This time they might be keen - because there will be audience voting. And if its not all done for free via an app like BBUK, there is a chance for the broadcaster to get their hands on some voting money. Plus the show might be sold to them for cheap so that production also gets their hands on extra vote money too. People don't really remember that NZ was also voting during BB01-04. It wasn't just AU.

Fingers crossed it does happen. Bigger audience = more hype.

Considering they are doing this stream on Youtube, I wonder if they might live stream the shows there as well? Too much to ask?

Maybe! I do recall Gretel saying "hello to all the people watching us on the web around the world" on the '07 finale. How was that possible, was it live streamed? Or was it just known that people were bypassing geo-blocks?

I can't take credit for that, but I was live streaming the shows to an international audience in those days. On my limited ADSL connection.

I wonder if that had any relation to the 2007 BB Uplate online stream (for SA, NT & WA to participate in brainteasers), which for some reason remained active for the finale (including rehearsal)?

Anyway, so far 66 people responded to @bigbrotherau's YouTube poll asking about favourite OG era. 2001-2002 is currently in the lead:
