***LATEST X FACTOR BETTING ODDS! CLICK HERE***
Tomorrow, one of those hopeless X Factor contestants will be eliminated from the show. Who will it be? We’ve got the odds right here.
Going out of a competition like X Factor in the second week is probably a bit of a blessing. Whoever gets the boot tomorrow night can go back to their stamp-licking job without too much disruption. But people who get eliminated further into the series – or even win it – will be ridiculed everywhere they go. Just like that bloke from One True Voice when we saw him drumming in a pub a while ago.
Anyway, here are the betting odds for the second X Factor elimination, with some help from Betfair.com…
Andy Abraham – Andy Abraham is already the far and away favourite to
win X Factor, so the only way he’ll get eliminated is if he decides to
sing Batty Man Fi Dead by Beenie Man and vomit blood all over the
audience. Other than that, he’ll be safe this week. Current odds – 239/1
Journey South – For some reason, these creepy-ass brothers have
positioned themselves as front-runners to win the competition. We’re
not so sure – Simon Cowell is obviously doing his best to big Journey
South up because everyone hates his other acts. They’re pretty much
guaranteed to go through this week, though. Current odds – 139/1
Maria Lawson – The strongest female in the competition, and the
least likely to go, according to the odds. But we get the feeling that
Maria hasn’t made a big enough mark to be assured an easy ride
tomorrow. The song she chooses to sing is very important this week.
Current odds – 94/1
Shayne Ward – Apart from binman Andy, Shayne is the nearest thing to
a pity vote this year. He sings so sweetly despite having a jailbird
sex offender Dad. We’d love to tell you more about Shayne, but we don’t
know much. Lots of people seem to like him, though, so we’d guess he’ll
be safe. Current odds – 49/1
Brenda Edwards - Everything – everything – about Brenda tells us that she would fail as a performer if she won X Factor. But we have to admit to a sneaking admiration for her. She attacks sing in the way that your Dad attacks dancing at a wedding, but she somehow pulls it off. She’s not a front-runner by any means, but we probably won’t be saying goodbye to Brenda Edwards just yet. Current odds – 35/1
4Tune – It’s probably the name 4Tune that we hate the most – it’s the sort of name a committee of middle aged men would call a boyband because someone told them it’s what the kids like. As well as hating their name, we also hate their singing and their faces. There are, incredibly, worse singers in the competition – plus we get the feeling that 13-year-old girls probably want 4Tune to win – so they won’t be going this week. Current odds – 24/1
Nicholas Dorsett – Nicolas doesn’t stand out from the group at all. We’re fairly sure – ie someone told us – that he’s got a good voice, but he just seems so insipid. If he goes out tomorrow and actually puts on a show instead of standing there like a blousey girl, he’ll push himself to safety. But it isn’t looking grand at the moment. Current odds – 31/2
Philip McGee – Everything we just about Nicholas goes double for Philip. He looks terrified all the time, like he’s got a hard little poo rolling around inside his pants. He needs to buck up if he doesn’t want to be eliminated. But he’s safe while the next three acts are in the competition. Current odds – 23/3
The Conway Sisters – We’re still stunned that The Conway Sisters even made it through to the finals. Not only are they bland singers, they appear to have zero personality, too. Which would be OK, but they’re not even especially pretty either. Our books remain resolutely unticked for this lot. Current odds – 25/4
Chenai Zinuku – Apart from the one person that left a message of support for her on hecklerspray the other day, nobody seems to have anything good to say about Chenai. Maybe she should stop crying and banging on about how this is all she’s ever wanted. Imagine if she was your girlfriend and she kept doing that. It’s not an appealing look. Current odds – 6/1
Chico Slimari - Unless Chico presents a more serious side tomorrow, he’s sure to be eliminated. Everyone hates him, with all his dancing about and showing off his stupid belly. He almost went last week, and that will have further hardened the public’s dislike of him. Oddly, we’d prefer to see Chico win than that singing binman, but he’ll probably be shown the door tomorrow. Current odds – 14/15
Come Monday, we’ll either be bragging about how right we were or wildly trying to divert your attention from the fact we were wrong when we look at the new odds to win X Factor, but if you want to find out how the odds stand at any moment in time, head over to the UK TV Special Bets section of Betfair.com.

I happen to know your father ( I know some will suprised that you have one)and he is a superb dancer at weddings so while your metaphor may be amusing it is not strictly accurate.
Chenai rocks
Quite dissing her
If Sharon is such a good judge, why can’t she make a decision on her own. It was ok to put crap acts thru’ earlier. Also, why can’t Sharon & Louis hear when somebody sings out of tune when even the untrained ears can tell.
i think louis should keep his mouth shut i feel it was very unfair what he done tonight regarding the final vote saying to sharon he kept her one in last week and for sharon to go along with it no wonder simon was upset for the boys they deserved to go through as they were better
i think that chenai only got a sympathy vote and that 4tune were one of the strongest contestants. they should get a record deal with simon cowell and phil is buff
i think the x factor is good with sharon in it but they need to trow out simon his to hard on people
Simon is absolutely LEGEND and the most honest person on the show. Much better than that twat Louis who tells everyone they’re great at first and then puts them down at the last minute.
But as Sharon said, a ‘travesty’ that Maria went over the dreadful Conway sisters. I have no idea what market they are trying to attract, but with only one marginally fit girl (the lead singer, who should go solo) the rest look like they are doing ‘The Corrs – karaoke’ for a night.
nicholas is the best singer eva…n he is soo good lukin…he dus stand out from every1 else and i hope he wins coz hes got the most talent and he rocks! I would luv to c more of him nd im sure every1 else does too! please vte for him coz hes the best
I think Haneeta’s seeing something in Nicholas that the rest of us can’t see. Oh, how love is blind…
