Remember that the show is about entertainment. Typically, on any game show, the first few episodes feature out-of-work actors looking to get some face time on TV. The producers love that because actors instinctively know how to ham it up for the cameras.
So, while the players are not actors reading a script, they are actors that know how to impress the producers.
