Why don't contestants say they are actors?
When a contestant happens to be an actor in real life (not an actor on the show, mind you, but someone whose job outside the show is acting), they're usually coached to not say they are actors, only because it can raise questions and confuse the home audience who may think the game or contestant is somehow fake/scripted. So when you see a game show contestant who comes across comfortable and polished on camera, and they say they are a receptionist, waiter, personal assistant or professional babysitter... that might just be their part-time job between auditions and acting gigs. ;-)

What are the factors that make a good game show contestant?
The casting agents I've worked with make it clear that they're looking for a few key factors in a contestant: tons of energy, ability to play the game (you don't have to be a brilliant player but you have to understand what's going on and be able to compete), and a ton of personality. Along with those elements, a great "story" helps a lot. You mentioned how everyone has perfect teeth, and while I'm sure looks factor into it a bit, at the end of the day, a strong story can beat out everything else. In other words: all other factors being equal, a highly attractive person who is boring might get on a game show, but an average-looking person who has a killer story (say, a dad whose Army wife is stationed overseas, leaving him at home to raise their young daughter) is far more interesting to viewers at home and is more likely to end up on the air. After all, when you have some emotional drama (the daughter is so cute! Dad is really likeable and humble and you're rooting for him to win! and now here's a surprise video message from Mom, direct from Afghanistan, urging him on, causing Dad to burst into tears!), that makes for great television.
Do game show actors audition?
As someone who has been on a lot of game shows (and who has tried to be on a lot more), I can tell you that there is a huge pool of professional actors who go out for game show auditions regularly. It's not hard to understand why: if you're an actor, you probably have a flexible job to allow for auditions, it's a chance to get in front of casting folks, it's a chance to win some money, and most of all, you get validation and attention. (Never underestimate the power of validation and attention when it comes to actors. ;-)
Do game shows have cast?
The main thing to remember is that game shows are cast... you don't just sign up and they call you in. The producers know what kind of contestants work best on a game show, and they hire casting people to find those contestants. In turn, the casting folks conduct auditions to evaluate potential players.
