Well if they actually ever did this and that became the case, it only reveals that they are INDEED ass #%@s. The kid demographic crap shouldn't inhibit the basic point of a contest, it's whoever wins it WINS IT. That's the whole point of a contest.
Having a 10 year old wouldn't make a bit of difference if you ask me. Frankie is a fine example of how good an older character can be, it all determines how you use then. Old man Rivers, Terrance, Dylan, there all fine examples of above average older characters on the show.
Seperating it just for kids is ignorant, more adults and teens watch cartoons these days more then ever. Ratings are ratings, and if someone actually loves the show and wants to be on it and actually did win the contest, age shouldn't matter.
I have just as much right to love the show and want to be on it then any other 10 year old, as long as there making money off the show, it shouldn't matter who their audience is. Targeted audiences is one thing, actual RESULTS are another.
I'll stop now since Frankie's the focus here but still, I just had to get that off my chest.
