Would this be considered a home birth?

"Reality" TV gets crazier everyday.

AMSTERDAM - Dutch authorities are investigating plans by the producers of
the "Big Brother" reality television show to include a pregnant contestant
who will give birth on the show.

Talpa, the new television station launched earlier this month by the
billionaire creator of Big Brother John de Mol, will broadcast a new series
from Sunday in which a contestant is due to give birth six weeks into the
show.

A spokeswoman for the social affairs and labor ministry confirmed a report
in De Telegraaf daily on Saturday that inspectors were examining a request
by Big Brother producers for the newborn baby to be allowed to appear on the
program.

The Netherlands has strict rules governing young children acting on
television, in films or on the stage.

The ruling Christian Democrats have condemned the idea of a birth on the
live show, but the 27-year-old pregnant contestant identified only as Tanja
defended the idea.

"I think that my child will be proud of it later," she told De Telegraaf.

The show's director Hummie van der Tonnekreek said Tanja would be well
looked after in the Big Brother house, where a group of 12 strangers are
locked in together and gradually voted out by the audience.

"She will get the maximum attention and care," Van der Tonnekreek said.

Versions of the show first aired in the Netherlands in 1999 have since been
produced in dozens of countries worldwide.

So what happens if she's a total bitch and gets voted out? Whoops.
Haha!
