I found their BB website, which has some video of the birth, no subtitles, so havn't a clue of the dialogue. The other housemates make some funny expressions, the blokes in particular. See if the link works, http://www.talpa.tv/web/show/id=90267/dbid=749/tab=video/typeofpage=51230
It's a bit slow, even with broadband, so make a brew first.

This story is in today's Sydney Morning Herald, with a photo of hte Mum and baby: Big Brother's baby October 19, 2005 - 6:43AM A contestant on the Dutch Big Brother television reality show gave birth to a baby girl in the house. The contestant, Tanja, gave birth to a girl she named Joscelyn Savanna, according to Talpa, the television station launched by billionaire creator of Big Brother John de Mol. Talpa, which has been accused of planning to exploit the newborn to boost the show's ratings, published pictures of Tanja, her mother and the baby on its website as well as comments from the other contestants on the birth. The 27-year-old from the northern town of Groningen, who was already seven months pregnant when she entered the Big Brother house, gave birth in a special room. "We are very proud of you," said Dido, 24, as Tanja returned to the living room of the house to applause from the others. The ruling Christian Democrats had condemned the idea of a birth on the show and Dutch authorities said the program's makers could film the baby for only two hours a day and for a maximum of eight days in accordance with rules for child actors. Unlike other contestants, who must stay in the house until they are either voted off the program or finally win, the baby will be able to leave the Big Brother house with family members and will have her own room where she may not be filmed. Versions of Big Brother first aired in the Netherlands in 1999 and have since been produced in dozens of countries worldwide, making De Mol's fortune. -------------- Now if only the local producers could organise a home birth!
