Why would them sleeping apart in a hotel for one night make or break anyone's belief? I mean, I'm genuinely asking, because that is just not an assumption I would leap to.I suppose from my point of view, the set up at home is permanent and therefore can't be hidden away or not filmed. In a hotel, they'd only be there for a little while and could therefore either not film or be selective, and therefore get away with just one room (and one bed). Not the case with their actual apartment - needs to be viewer-proof. There's no hiding the set-up there, or using clever angles, or just choosing not to film it at all.
This is underpinned by the assumption that whilst they have two rooms at home, they sleep together in one of them. So the two rooms are essentially for show.
So they I question why they'd need to bother doing that in a place they're only staying for one night. To me the two aren't comparable.
I haven't watched the documentary yet but I'm genuinely a bit surprised about the amount of angst the separate bedrooms is causing. When you're doing a mentally and physically exhausting job sometimes is nice to have an hour or two to yourself whether you use that time to browse tumblr, watch a film or ring your mum, sometimes it's just nice to have the option to unwind on your own, especially when they're having to spend large periods of time together on the tour bus. Whether they are a couple or not (I still think they are) being cramped like sardines in a large bus is going to start to grate eventually. Also, two rooms have two beds, who knows whether both beds really got used. Either way, a few hours apart won't kill them, i doubt they spend every second together even in their flat because even the most devoted couples need time apart
) then he rolled closer to Dan, as if to say "stop trolling me, snuggle me, I'm sick" I am really surprised they put it in actually. Dan would have to be in the bed, there was no where to stand on that side, only on Philly's side. The hotel room they didn't book them, as indicated by them. So I am just going to repress my feelings about that and remember the other hotel rooms they did share. Thx. I liked the shower bit, and the bloopers at the end. All in all I left it happy. Would have liked it a bit better if they hugged on the roof or something but whatevs. 
Those close ups 
I actually teared up at the end dance though... I didn't even do that when I saw it. It was a weird and unexpected reaction. 
I was using a family member's YTR trial and it can only be on "one device" (such bs) so I had to watch it in said family member's room broadcasting it on their TV, and I felt sooo awkward. What I found interesting though was that he deemed Phil to appear more feminine than Dan throughout the doc and I was just kind of like "whaaat? how?" and he said it was his mannerisms, apparently. I don't know how to feel about the shipbaiting thing, I can't even tell anymore. Masters of ambiguity for sure.
