Go to the show's page on the IMDb website. Look at the Episode Cast.

All but one of the "contestants" in 2007 have multiple listings as actors. This is so slick. I feel they have crossed a line. I won't watch it anymore.

The appeal of game shows has always been the idea of the average viewer being able to identify with the contestant and imagining themselves up there vying for the prize, competing in a fair field.

The show's producers have decided average Joe's don't sell commercials, so they get professionals up there to put on a show within the show.
