I'm callin BS

I wish I lived in NYC, because I would go check out and see if he stays in the bubble all night. I'm thinking he gets out of it after like 3 AM. His skin would dissolve, even with the watersuits. Also, how are they dealing with him going to the restroom?

'On May 1, 2006, Blaine was submerged in an 8-foot diameter, water-filled sphere in front of the Lincoln Center in New York for a planned 7 days and 7 nights, using tubes for air and nutrition.

He will conclude this event by attempting to hold his breath underwater to break the world record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds. In a change to the original stunt plans, whilst attempting to break this record, Blaine will now also try to free himself from handcuffs and chains put on him upon coming out after the week in the sphere.

Mark Harris of the British Free Diving Association spoke out, saying that Blaine will have an unfair advantage. "[Since] he will be breathing compressed air under water... he will have a much higher concentration of oxygen molecules... in competitive freediving, we are positively banned from breathing pure oxygen before the event."

Even if Blaine succeeds in holding his breath for more than eight minutes and fifty-eight seconds, it is unlikely that the feat will be officially recognised as a new world record. This is due to the fact that judges from the International Association for the Development of Apnea (AIDA) would have to be present to verify that Blaine breathed no pure oxygen for at least two hours prior to beginning his attempt at the world record. The world record for holding one's breath after having breathed pure oxygen is actually closer to fifteen minutes.'
