I think it's rather obvious that the spectators did NOT see to the 
lake nor the maze. Otherwise, why would Dumbledore had needed to 
discuss with Queen of the Merpeople or why would they have needed to 
shoot up sparks for help if they were being watched in the maze?

No, the spectators didn't see the champions during the tasks (except 
for fake!Moody, thanks to the magical eye).

Of course, we readers are watching Harry, so *we* know what happened 
during the tasks. The spectators probably had something else for 
entertainment?
