Should only the winner get a deal?

I know it sounds harsh but the last few years no-one seems bothered if they don't win any more, if it was only the winner who got signed and all the others just had to return to their old life the show might get a competitive edge. At present its 'oh well i didn't win but i still got a record deal.'

you cant stop someone from having a career just because they didn't win a tv reality show ...
Syco know the months of airtime will get them a little cash from their cows before shunting them out the door.
Your sentence needs changing
but if another label wants to sign them why should he let anyone else make money out of them
Simon should (and will) sign whoever actually deserves it and will sell in the real world - One Direction, Olly, Ella and probably Fleur.
In the unlikely event someone random wins, they will get the rushed album of covers, repackaged for Christmas and then quietly dropped and airbrushed out of X Factor history so more money can be spent on the "real winners".
So if you fit in the market,is relevant and has potential you dont have to win.
I dont even know if Ben is any of these?
Lauren no.Where does she fit in the market? He has Ella,Tamera and now Fluer.Stereo Kicks may stand a better chance on a developmental deal to prepare for 1D exit.
Exactly! The public dont learn that for Simon it 'selling in the real world'
For Simon it's a good way of testing potential signings in front of a live audience.
We are entertained by the pantomime. He gets some fantastic market research and PR for his acts for the coming year.
It does seem a bit of a shame that Ben, for example, is the winner but ultimately his prize is no different to that of certain runners up. But I'm sure he's not too fussed about that today. Whether he ends up as a Leona/Little Mix or a Shayne/James remains to be seen.
I'd expect the top 4 to be signed but possible not to Syco apart from fluer & maybe SK but that's it
Lauren will be given the opportunity
Then it doesn't matter if someone wins, if wanted they will be given a contract, recording sessions and more promotion than the actual winner.
The whole thing gets just what they want.
Because they can't be bothered?
She simply isn't the God that some worship like she is.
Hard to comprehend for some.
