I can answer this zombie question by digging up some of my own long long ago. I spent a couple of years working as a contestant coordinator for the Newlywed Game and the Dating Game.
The contestants were real people. I don't recall there ever being any celebrity episodes on the Newlywed Game like those on the Dating Game. Since the shows were produced in Hollywood there were certainly some aspiring actors on both shows but there were not 'stealth' actors paid to pretend to be regular schmoes.
Everybody who came in to audition for the shows was asked to give the names and phone numbers of friends they thought might want to be on. We called those people. The form had room for 10 names and most people filled them up, so, each week we interviewed around 500 people who, in turn gave us the names of 5000 more people to call to get 500 to come in next week.
'Hi, Soanso? This is Turble. I'm with the Dating Game on ABC. You've been recommended to us as a possible contestant. How would you like to come in for an interview and see if we can get you on the show?'
