I can't believe people actually think this is real.

To be real, they would've had to pull this guy away from his regular life to the point he's having to stay in a hotel over night under false pretenses. That's called kidnapping.

There's zero chance of this being legal.

Think about it. You have to sign a waiver to do basically anything. Rent a jet ski? Sign a waiver. Go to an amusement park? Sign a waiver.

Does anybody really think this guy participated in an ongoing tv show that required being away from his life/family for multiple days (and included overnight stays) and he never signed one liability waiver explaining to him what was actually going on? No way!
