X Factor Betting Odds: Niki Evans Gone, Who’ll Win The Final?
How wrong were we? Niki Evans - the singer who we were convinced would come second in this year's X Factor - actually ended up coming fourth in this year's X Factor; the same as The MacDonald Brothers did last year, the lucky cow. In hindsight, though, it was no surprise that Niki Evans got voted off X Factor so early. No matter how proficient they are, older ladies never make it to the X Factor final - especially ones like Niki, who think that they can get away with opening shows by murmuring out dreary Eva Cassidy covers and then get all indignant because nobody seems to like it much. Still, at least now that Niki Evans has been eliminated from X Factor the show's prop department can put away those horrible black candlesticks that appear to have been stolen from the set of a 1970s low-budget European movie about sexy vampires. But without Niki Evans in it, who'll win the X Factor final on Saturday? Here's part one of this week's X Factor betting odds - for Same Difference and Leon Jackson - with help from Paddy Power...

X Factor Betting Odds: Hope Gone, Who’ll Win?
Bad news for fans of pretty girls wigging about in their pants - Hope are the latest act to be ejected from X Factor, something that means the only female eye candy left on X Factor comes in the form of a self-satisfied school dinnerlady. That's not to say that Hope didn't deserve to be booted out of X Factor, though - they absolutely did, thanks to a lukewarm performance of 2 Become 1 and a version of We Will Rock You that served only as an excuse for each member of Hope to go "WooooahohhAHHHOOOOH!" in turn. But don't worry, Hope fans - the group promises that it will absolutely stay together forever now, which will at least start a medium-sized bidding war between a handful of subscription-based soft-pornography digital TV channels if nothing else. But now that Hope are out of X Factor, who's going to win? Here are the X Factor betting odds - for Same Difference and Niki Evans - with help from Paddy Power...

X Factor Betting Odds: Beverley Trottman Out, Who’ll Win?
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...

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: Will Same Difference Win?
Now that Brian Friedman seems contractually obliged to appear in every single X Factor contestant training VT package, it looks like there's no room for the X Factor celebrity mentoring we enjoyed so much last year. But that's OK, because in its place we get to see a string of massively generic X Factor theme nights like Love Song Night or Songs From The Movies Night, or Saturday's 21st Century Night. Now, it might be a sign of our own age, but when we heard that X Factor was doing a 21st Century Night we envisioned silver tinfoil dresses, robot dog backing singers and cutting-edge, fiercely futuristic music. Is that what X Factor gave us? No. X Factor gave us James Blunt covers. Oh, the humanity. Who's going to win X Factor this year? Here are the X Factor betting odds for Same Difference, Leon Jackson and Hope. Betting odds, as ever, come 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...
