X Factor Betting Odds: Alisha Gone, Who’ll Win?
There are a few rules that one should adhere to when reaching the X Factor live finals - one is to invent as many sob stories about yourself as possible, and the other is to avoid rollerskates, as Alisha Bennett found out on Saturday. Although Alisha Bennett's befuddling stage routine to her X Factor rendition of Young Hearts Run Free - plus her wonky vocals - contributed to her downfall, she still has plenty to be proud about. For starters, Alisha Bennett will go down in history as the only X Factor contestant who made Sharon Osbourne launch into a weird tear-flecked defence of people who have to rollerskate to make a living - and if that's not enough, Alisha Bennett has never to our knowledge thrown a schoolgirl against a brick wall by her hair, which at least sets her apart from 50% of Sharon Osbourne's other X Factor flock. We'll miss Alisha Bennett, that's for sure, or at least - ooh - a day or so. It'd be longer but we're still trying to work out who'll win X Factor this year. So here are today's X Factor betting odds for Hope, Same Difference and Leon Jackson, with help from Paddy Power...

X Factor Betting Odds: Andy Williams Out, Who’ll Win?
It was never going to be a surprise when Andy Williams - the dim-looking nondescript Welsh boy who couldn't carry a tune in a tune-sized rucksack - was knocked out of X Factor, which is why we're not exactly surprised right now. Because, in an X Factor career so dull that we half-expected his 'best bits' package to be one millisecond long, Andy Williams' performance of Chasing Cars on Saturday stood out as especially weak. Out of time, out of tune, dead-eyed and sung with a face that looked like it was being operated by the animatronic team from Jurassic Park, it seemed a lot like Andy Williams was just forming noises with his mouth without understanding that he was saying actual words. Andy's X Factor elimination seemed more like a mercy killing, especially since his T-shirt had the word 'ROCK' embroidered on it. We're guessing Primark was out of 'Insipid' shirts. But now Andy Williams has been put out of his misery, who's going to win X Factor? Here are the X Factor betting odds to win for Alisha Bennett and Beverley Trottman, with help from Paddy Power...

X Factor Betting Odds: Futureproof Gone, Who’ll Win?
So Simon Cowell's big X Factor ruse of putting together manufactured groups and telling the world how they'll probably win X Factor has backfired - on Saturday his boyband Futureproof were eliminated from the show. And if that wasn't bad enough, Simon Cowell had to choose whether to eliminate Futureproof or his girlband Hope, because they were both placed in X Factor's bottom two. We'll deal with Hope in the days to come, but nobody can really be surprised that Futureproof were knocked out of X Factor - their dull, weedy rendition of Can't Take My Eyes Off You was hopelessly overpowered by the live band accompanying them and their much-discussed dance routine was a joke. But at least now they're out of X Factor, Futureproof can return to what they look like they do best - hanging out on the top deck of buses throwing open cans of cider at terrified pensioners. But now that Futureproof are no longer a part of X Factor, who's going to win? Here's the first part of this week's X Factor betting odds - for Alisha Bennett, Andy Williams and Same Difference - with help as ever from Paddy Power...
