Well, the betting companies have the most to lose (monetarily), but in Australia you've been able to bet on the Oscars and reality TV show outcomes for a while now (see https://www.tab.com.au/sports/betting/Entertainment https://www.tab.com.au/sports/betting/Entertainment)... so I guess they'll probably wear the risk and just ban any suspicious bets.
Somewhat related, a friend of a friend of a friend was a cameraman for The Bachelor a few years ago and through the chain I heard the winner ahead of time. I was doubtful but the result was as I was told. But in general they seem to keep a pretty tight lid on it all - the TV networks would be pretty cranky if their multi-month programs were spoiled early.
