X-Factor 2007 - Latest Odds

Its the Welsh robot guy, Rhydian, who seems to be running away with this years contest - probably because he's the only one that never misses a note, despite his bland brand of pop-opera being over-abused in recent years.

The Rhyddler is already odds-on favourite to win, despite Simon Cowell's desparate attempts to force an unwilling public to buy into dreadful girl group, Hopeless. It says something when cheesy and creepy brother and sister group Same Difference are much more entertaining.

Once again, Paddy Power have a number of available markets, but here's the Outright Winner Market

A Weekend of Reality TV

OK - so i've been away - again!

But with the plethora of reality TV its a bit of a betting extravanganza.

I'm a bit partial to X-Factor, but Simon Cowell's constant pimping of the dreadful Hope is turning me off.

Simply Come Dancing is having its fair share of controversy - but its better to knock out the favourites then defraud the phoning public in my opinion (not that they would, of course)

And then there's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. I don't know anyone on that show - are they famous? Is that a celebrity chef? Where did they find him? And why on earth was he stressed cooking for 10 people - doesn't he do that for a living? Anyway, enough about him, its worth watching just for Lynne Franks' bizarre dancing and of course Janice Dickinson - from America's Top Model to ITV with Ant and Dec. Where's her career gone - probably the way of her face.
