Classic BBAU 2001 stream on official Big Brother YouTube channel (Aug 1-3)

My biggest shock watching the few episodes I have was just how much they actually gave the HM’s to keep them entertained outside of the tasks.

 

[Brekkie]

I think that's a key difference of the early series. Now they only give them something if they think they'll get content out of it.

 

[Brekkie]

Reached the final week now so the final should be in around a coupleof hours. Still find it odd they didn't switch to "Vote to Win" for the final week.

 

[Brekkie]

They seem to have an extra half hour looking at the possible pairings for the final.

Back to the earlier conversation about ages always thought Ben and Sara-Marie were a few years older than Blair but there was 2 years between the three of them. Do think young adults were much more grown up a quarter of a century ago.

I think I am slightly older/ or about the same age than them all and I don't think I realised that at the time. I would have thought they were older than me.

It's time to go... Sara Marie

The thing that gets me is that I’m older now than Gretel was hosting season 1 and yet I feel way younger than her.

Does anyone remember the special that aired after the finale? The BB YT chat said back before the stream even started, that they're uploading a show (or 2) that aired post BB.

There was a live after party show that ran for like half an hour and then there was a “life in the real world” special that followed Johnnie’s eviction and checked in on what the housemates got up to when they left the house

 

[inumeenu]

I had totally forgotten. It was a final three for the last week and then a final two for 24 hours. They haven’t done anything like that for a long time.

If this upcoming new season is really just four or five weeks, I hope they have a longer season already locked in for 2026!

Looking back it really is shocking that Sara Marie didn’t win

Even at the time I was shook

 

[jessy_girl]

Watching back is a trip with the ages. Maybe because they were so much older than me and so I still sort of view them as such.

I will forever feel closer in age to Krystal at the time than I ever will Karen.

Life in the Real World is the one they were referring to, should be up next I assume.

I honestly think Blair / Sara Marie were robbed. Ben was so bloody boring

BBAU just said this when someone asked about the Saturday episodes:

bigbrotherau: Not lost just digitised offline with Uncut to save time on the Marathon

Apparently he was very funny, but we didn't see enough of that.

 

[andrew_08]

I really hope we get marathons of the rest of the seasons. I’ve really enjoyed rewatching BB01

 

[MDH_2000]

I really hope we get marathons of the rest of the seasons. I’ve really enjoyed rewatching BB01

I hope we get one every Friday

He never seemed that.. bright? His facial expressions always seemed quite vacant and never really had conversations that were super in-depth.

I imagine he won because he was agreeable and a bit meat-heady, just an approachable guy you would find at a local pub.
