From the Release Form MTV gives out for Real World cast members. I’m sure the form for Jersey Shore isn’t much different. Some other interesting provisions:

• You may be humiliated and explicitly portrayed “in a false light.” (12)

• Interacting with other cast members carries the risk of “non-consensual physical contact” and should you contract AIDS, etc. during such an interaction, MTV is not responsible. (7)

• You don’t have STDs, but accept that other people on the show might. (18)

• You’re not pregnant and you won’t become pregnant before the show’s done filming. If you do become pregnant, you’ll tell the Producer immediately–and pregnancy is grounds for dismissal. (38)

• You can’t change your physical appearance during filming, without the Producer’s express permission. (26)

• You grant the Producer blanket rights to your life story. (49)

• The Producer can do pretty much anything they want with your life story, including misrepresent it. (49)
