As far as I'm aware, no one on this board who posts in this thread works for BMP, so we have absolutely no idea when open casting calls would be. You will have to wait and check online regularly, as they will eventually appear on BMP's website.

Okay, thank you!

Casting staff are capable of finding controversial, even adversarial people for any show, regardless of age or other factors. Why limit the pool of potential entertainers based on inane criteria? (I suspect the answer has something to do with demographics and advertising, which is a shame).

Even if there was no casting process involved and you just picked 5-7 completely random people off the street to do a Real World, it would still be interesting (fights would probably happen because it's human nature). Even if it was the most boring season ever, I'd still enjoy it because sociology and psychology are fields I'm interested in and I like seeing what makes people tick as they respond to different stimuli.

They should redo the casting site where the whole cast is chosen by the viewers(basically make that the only way to apply),then people can't really get mad at the cast.

True but my guess is that a lot of the stimuli they are responding to is from the production side we don't get to see. Can't take it out on the staff so they take it out on each other.
