Gooo Hope
I really doubt FutureProof will win. Like somebody above me here said, they're too much like the Eton Road of this year. Am surprised Kimberley and Beverley aren't higher. |

Very shocked to see Kimberly so low; I think she's definately going to be top female.

He has a completely average voice, and he acts so sorry for himself. I have a single mum, by the way, and it's not exactly hard. |

One contestant that I have hope (excuse the pun) in is Beverley. At start of XF2, Brenda had odds of 33/1 to win and was one of the major outsiders. People started to realise that she had a lot of talent (but not neccesarily the 'package') and she was third favourite to win when she was eliminated (Andy was going as far as bookies were concerned).
It shows that betting isn't everything because following the announcement of the live stages contestants last year, I decided to keep track of the betting odds and here and the inital ones from Paddy Power: 1 – Ben - 10/3 2 – Ray - 5/1 3 – Leona - 13/2 4 – Kerry - 13/2 5 – Ashley - 7/1 6 – Nikitta - 8/1 7 – The Unconventionals - 9/1 8 – The MacDonald Brothers - 12/1 9 – Robert - 14/1 10 – 4Sure - 16/1 11 – Eton Road - 25/1 12 – Dionne - 50/1 The only correct odds and placement there is for Ray... |

I also hope that Niki pulls some amazing performances (equal to her first and final auditions) out of the bag and stays for at least the first two weeks - just like Dionne did.

The top 4 are all guys
The only guy who doesn't stand a chance at winning is Rhydian, although I don't like him, he is a way better singer then the other guys. And Futureproof are carp! |

I found this on msn.com
Futureproof have cemented their place as the favourites to win this year's X Factor. The boyband, who were put together from soloist rejects at the Bootcamp stage, are being mentored by Simon Cowell and have been backed to 9/2 to win the show, beating their nearest rivals Daniel De Bourg and Leon Jackson. Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said: "Daniel and Leon looked on course to challenge Futureproof's favouritism. But Simon Cowell's act weathered the storm and are attracting more bets by the day." Meanwhile, Welsh opera singer Rhydian still seems to be suffering from the effects of recent bad publicity, as he drops down in the betting to 20/1. "Rhydian is going in the opposite direction -support for him dries up with every minute that passes," Nick added. "If the Welshman performs as badly on the show as he has in the betting he's going to be in real trouble." Brother and sister act Same Difference have their work cut out if they want to succeed. They are currently the show's outsiders on 33/1. |
