Shayne Ward Wins X Factor: Pretend Betting Odds

by Stuart Heritage on December 19, 2005 105 Comments

Shayne_ward_wins_x_factorClick here for all the latest Celebrity Big Brother news, gossip and betting odds!


On Saturday night, the impossible happened. Something that simultaneously blew our minds and changed the face of British popular culture forever – Darren Gough won Strictly Come Dancing. Seriously, what’s that about?

But that wasn’t the big news – the realistic best that Darren Gough can expect from winning Strictly Come Dancing will be to get a job as Third Man From The Left in a touring version of Guys And Dolls – everyone is more concerned with Shayne Ward, the winner of X Factor.

Shayne Ward winning X Factor would have been a valid case for a news story, if only every single person who had ever watched X Factor didn’t know that Shayne would win from the very start of the series.

Usually at this point we’d give you some X Factor betting odds but now that X Factor is over, we’ve nothing to give you. But – to save you screaming and crying and shaking like those babies born addicted to heroin – we’re letting you down easy with some entirely made up X Factor betting odds

Odds that – despite being sung over and over again all the time on
Saturday’s X Factor – not a single person can remember what That’s My
Goal
actually sounds like – 2/1

Odds that the version of My Way that the X Factor rejects sang on
Saturday would probably sell more copies of That’s My Goal if it was
also released on Wednesday – 3/1

Odds that Simon Cowell will go topless next season after realising
that he can’t be bothered to even fasten the two shirt buttons that he
sported on Saturday’s X Factor - 6/1

Odds that Andy Abraham will shortly be admitted to hospital for RSI
brought on by his constant ‘open hand/clenched fist/open hand’ singing
style – 5/1

Odds that the next request that Journey South are given will be "Big Mac extra value meal please."4-1

Odds that by this time next year, the only X Factor contestant that anyone will still be talking about is Chico – 8/1

Odds that Simon Cowell’s teeth will soon become so bright that
anyone who looks at them will instantly be turned into stone - 6/1

Odds that Shayne Ward’s family will go out on a fighty, rapey rampage to celebrate his X Factor success – 9/1

Odds that, at some point during the next season of X Factor, Kate
Thornton
will look at least vaguely competent, if only for a single
fleeting second – 23/1

Odds that, in the future, Shayne Ward will talk about That’s My Goal
in a slightly embarrassed way, complain that That’s My Goal wasn’t
really his style of song, avoid singing That’s My Goal in his concerts
and secretly resent ever singing the bleeding song in the first place -
Evens

Why not listen to That’s My Goal on a brilliant new mp3 player from kelkoo.co.uk?

Hi ya Shayne,
I loved all your songs yo sang on
the Xfacter,
I ain`t to kean on the slow
motion songs though,
I did miss Chico when he left.
And guess what,
Before all of the entire Xfacter,
My parents an me and little sis
went to a wedding party,
and at the party,
There was a rock and slow band called Journy South,
and there standing,
was
Andy and cal!(however yo spell his
name!)
I love Chico Journy South and yo!
P.S please write bk!
xxx
Hannah!

Hi Shayne

I am quite embarrassed writing on this site…..Think you are the most stunning man I have ever seen …( am 25 and feel ashamed ).
Am made up you won the x factor and you deserved it….( god knows me and me girlies wished it often enough !! ) u r our office hunk here in me workplace !!! haha
Anyway just ignore what you read in those papers….load of c**p about your family. You won that competition on your own merits
Was really moved when you won and your mum was cryin….so sweet
Keep ploughlin at it….keep doing the great music you do….Remember this was your dream so go for it chick !!!
Your girlfriend Faye is incredibly lucky to have you as you have got the face of an angel !! She must have the patience of a saint to put up with all these girls throwing themselves at you….lucky lucky girl !!!
Love ya loads hun
