What do producers look for when casting reality game shows?

When you're casting for the contestants, you're looking for instantly excited people, people who get amped up, who get sad when they lose and happy when they win, and show it on their face. You're looking for very alive, vivacious people in your cast who emote their feelings. Some gameshows are looking for very smart people, like Jeopardy, some game shows are looking for just out of their mind, jump around people like Deal or No Deal - it depends when you're casting contestants.
