As has been pointed out by various commentators, you cannot enter into a contract agreeing to be killed in a game if you lose, because, first, it would be conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit assisted suicide. And since the deaths occur during the commission of a felony, once any person involved dies, the "felony murder rule" applies. Everyone else involved - the contestants who are still alive, the producer, the camera operators, and anyone else - are all eligible for the death penalty. They are also death penalty eligible under "aggravating factors" because the murders are being committed for "pecuniary gain," i.e. for the prize money at the end.
Yeah, the government always has to stick its nose in to people's private business and stop people from having fun.
