The point was that we're giving you a chance (and, to your credit, you're taking advantage of it). We can't give you a chance and not someone else. You wouldn't like being pigeonholed like April has. Why should we pigeonhole her?
I'll not say who said what, other than to say that my response to one of them was "I actually kind of like him. But Jesus Christ does he look constipated in that picture." I then proceeded to do my best imitation.
Anyway, everyone deserves a fair shot. We all agreed that you should get one, and in doing so, we need to give April one too. Might work or it might not. But we gave her the opportunity.
