X Factor betting odds Eton Road Ray QuinnSome things you just don't do. For instance, we've learnt that screaming insults into your mobile phone midway through the funeral of an elderly relative is generally frowned upon; and on Saturday, X Factor's Eton Road learnt another valuable lesson.

And what a lesson it was - it was the lesson that goes 'In the vital final stages of a national televised singing competition, whatever you do don't sing a song about two lions humping each.' On Saturday's X Factor, Eton Road got the boot because they sang a horrible wobbly off-key version of Can You Feel The Love Tonight from The Lion King, with our old friend the Botoxy Eunuch gasping and wheezing his lines like he was suddenly being struck down by a particularly severe bout of Angina. But don't worry, because Louis Walsh has offered Eton Road a record contract - so this is just the first chapter of their story. We're looking forward to seeing the remaining chapters of the Eton Road story, which will include a number 37 hit single, a desperate last-gasp appearance on some tawdry reality TV show and then a lifetime of all-consuming bitterness.

But now that Eton Road are out of X Factor, are we any closer to discovering who'll win? Will Ray Quinn win X Factor? Here are the X Factor betting odds for Ray Quinn…

Ray Quinn - If someone's popularity can be measured by the amount of illiterate simpletons who leave them comments on hecklerspray in the mistaken belief that it's their own personal email address, then Ray Quinn is up their with Britney Spears and Jesus Christ. But how anyone can still vote for Ray after Saturday's skin-crawlingly smug VT proclamation of "Quinn's arrived, baby!" is way beyond us. On Saturday's X Factor, Ray chose to sing The Way You Look Tonight - a tune that's vaguely swinging enough for Ray to get dressed up in a shiny suit and put on his annoying slurry Sinatra voice. Although he was totally slappable throughout it, during his performance of Jailhouse Rock, Ray achieved a slappability rating higher than any human being before him. Every single thing that Ray Quinn did during Jailhouse Rock was so devastatingly slappable that our slappability machine actually slapped itself to death. All the Ray Quinn slappability centrepieces were there; the harrowing hip-thrusts, the awful J-Lo-style choreography, the three increasingly annoying fake endings and some singing that was so completely incomprehensible that it may as well have been the Crazy Frog onstage. In short, then: the performances were shit, Ray's a turd and we'd like you to vote him out next week please. Current X Factor betting odds - 25/1

Tomorrow - the X Factor betting odds for The MacDonald Brothers and Ben Mills…

    RAY is the best!!! He’s so talented and got the whole package. He’s defitenately the best entertainment wise!! I love watching him perform, his stage presence is unbelivable!! I just hope he gets to the finals because Simon is gunning for Leona. She’s great too but Simon will give her a record contract no matter what happens.
    RAY 2 WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
