Beverley Trottman – the schoolteacher with the voice loud enough to knock the moon out of orbit – has become the latest victim of the X Factor axe, and for once it wasn’t the X Factor judges who binned her; it was the whole wide world.
Because of a judging deadlock, the X Factor elimination went to the public vote, and it turns out that hardly anyone voted for Beverley Trottman. Perhaps it’s for the best – Beverley never stood a fart’s chance of winning X Factor at the best of times, and her performance on Saturday did nothing to prove otherwise. Claiming that she was singing it for all the kids at her school, Beverley performed a new version of divorcee classic Without You that included up to 18 different key changes, the last four of which were only audible to bats and dolphins. Anyway it’s just as well that Beverley Trottman can’t live if living is without her pupils, because she’ll be back in the classroom any day now, surely.
So now that Beverley Trottman is out of X Factor, who’ll win? Here are the X Factor betting odds for Hope, Same Difference and Leon Jackson, with help from Paddy Power…

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…

Perhaps this says more about our state of mind than the show itself, but we’re only three weeks in and this season of X Factor is starting to seem like the most controversial one yet.
We’ve seen Sharon Osbourne get her knickers in a twist and leave X Factor only to squirm back again the following week, we’ve seen Emily Nakanda hurl a schoolgirl against a brick wall by her hair and get kicked off X Factor – the big question is what happens next. Will Louis Walsh be asked to leave X Factor for stabbing Simon Cowell in the neck with a biro while shouting “Don’t tell me what to do!”? Will Same Difference be removed from X Factor for having it off with each other? Will Rhydian stare directly into the camera and impart an ancient curse that will turn X Factor‘s audience into zombie soldiers who follow his every word? Probably the last one, we’d imagine.
But who’ll win X Factor? Here are the X Factor betting odds for Beverley Trottman, Leon Jackson and Hope, with betting odds from Paddy Power…

One of the main reasons we’re so happy that X Factor is back is because the hokey unconvincing X Factor theme nights are back, which meant that on Saturday everyone had to sing a song from the movies.
This is because Celine Dion was the special X Factor guest on Saturday and, since she sang the song from Titanic, Songs From The Movies was probably a slightly politer X Factor theme than Really Crap Songs That Only Wankers Like Which Are Sung By People Who Deserve To Be Drowned, the only other theme that Celine Dion fits into. Not that it matters, though – with a couple of exceptions, the X Factor contestants’ songs only managed to be Song From The Movies so long as you can count ‘second song played in the end credits after everyone has gone home’ as a song from the movie. OK, we’ll admit that we’re just bitter because Rhydian didn’t sing the overdose theme from Requiem For A Dream.
