They will cast whoever they hope will be the most popular (in their
desired demographic and psychographics).
My point, that you're completely missing, is that you are claiming
(originally) that once they can, they will *only* cast eighteen to
twenty years olds. I hate to break it to you Elmo, but the rules for
casting are completely in Burnett's hands, and if he wanted to cast only
eighteen to twenty year olds he would have done it seasons and seasons
ago.

I deny this because you made such a staggering leap in logic -- you took
the news that they were now going to cast people from eighteen to
infinity years old (as opposed to their old rules of casting people
twenty-one to infinity) as proof that they will now only cast people
between seventeen and twenty-one.

It's always been about the money. I've never denied that. I wasn't
talking about the money, I was talking about your moronic leap in logic.

Bottom line, it's all about the money. They will cast whoever they feel
will bring in the highest ratings (in their desired demographic and
psychographics). Unless you have some insider information you'd like to
share with us you're ranting about them *only* casting eighteen to
twenty year old is just a bunch of hot air.
If the last few seasons were only made up of twenty-one to twenty-four
year olds, you might have a point. They weren't and you don't.

Is that a question or a statement?
