Chris is actually luckier than anyone who wins Idol. The winner has a ten year contract to idol. Chris has been offered to be the lead singer for Fuel. He and the winner will most likely get the same amount of money. At this point in the competition, there are record deals sitting out there just begging for the contestants to be eliminated. They'll probably be called the night they are eliminated. So really, even though this is wrong in just about every other situation, the phrase "everyone's a winner" seems to fit this.
