It turns up on the cheapest of channels in the UK, and is incredibly low rent.
The average segment goes something like this: - Woman complains she thinks her husband is cheating on her. - The show's "investigators" follow her husband around for a few days. - They watch him park up in some mall somewhere and go into a random Chipotle or similar. - They film him having a meal with someone who is not his wife. - They film them going to a motel somewhere. - They film them coming out of the motel room some hours later. - They show the woman who complained the footage and then stage a confrontation between the two - ideally with the other party in attendance too. Often in a parking lot. Rinse and repeat for 17 seasons. I'm unaware that they've ever said to the complainant: "Nope. We've had a look, and your husband seems just fine."

If you were doing this in the UK, then you'd have to get permission from *both* parties, otherwise at the very least you'd need to do a lot of blurring. If someone is doing something illegal, then it's fine to feature them, but having an affair isn't illegal.
