We all like to see winners. We like seeing losers even more. That’s why reality TV is so popular. Human nature hasn’t changed at all in the 2000 years since the Roman games. If TV contestants had to sign a document saying that they consented to being flogged on camera if they lost, would it be legally enforceable?

I was wondering sometimes when they shoot for reality tv some people in the background will have their faces blurred. But the overwhelming majority of reality tv doesn’t have this. Are all these people signing releases? What is the law on being on camera for tv and in public?
