Reality TV this week
1st December, 2008
It's been another tense week in the world of reality tv, Ruth left X-Factor, Christine Bleaky danced her last dance on Strictly Come Dancing and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here said goodbye to Esther Rantzen. So what is on the cards this week? let's find out the latest odds:
X-Factor:
- Having been third favourite to win last week, the supremely talented Alexandre Burke has climbed her way to the top spot. She is now the hot favourite to win with odds of 11/8 (william hill)
- Despite no longer being the hot favourite, Diana Vickers still remains a strong contender: 11/4 (skybet)
- Eoghan Quigg: 3/1 (skybet)
- JLS: 10/1 (skybet)
Interestingly, when it comes to odds for who will be voted off next week, JLS have the highest odds, 4/5 (stanjames) as to be expected, but Diana Vickers is not far behind the boys(despite being second favourite to win) with odds of 3/1 (stanjames) while Eoghan's chances of leaving are 7/2 (stanjames) and Alexandre's are 7/1 (stanjames)
There has been a lot of speculation over how good a judge Dannii is and whether she will be fired. Well, Paddy Power have decided that she will be leaving and have already started taking odds for who will replace her:
- Robbie Williams: 4/1
- Lulu: 8/1
- Myleene Klass: 9/1
- Paula Abdul: 9/1
- Sharon Osborne: 10/1
- Lilly Allen: 12/1
- Sinitta: 12/1
- Victoria Beckham: 14/1
- Gary Barlow: 14/1
(the list goes on, a very long way ending with odds of 100/1 Kerry Katona, Simon Fuller and Podge&Rodge)
Strictly Come Dancing:
Christine leaving was not a huge surprise, but who wins now could be anyones guess- the standard of the competition is incredibly high this year. This is what the bookies make of it all:
- Austin Healy has reclaimed his place as the hot favourite to win the show: 13/8 (stanjames)
- Tom Chambers: 2/1 (totesport)
- Rachel Stevens: 5/1 (victor chandler)
- Lisa Snowdon: 9/1 (bluesquare)
Gender of winner:
- male: 2/5 (totesport)
- female: 9/4 (ladbrokes)
I'm A Celebrity:
- Jow Swash is still the favourite to win: 8/15 (paddypower)
- Martina Narvatilova: 6/1 (ladbrokes)
- George Takei: 15/2 (victor chandler)
- David Van Day: 14/1 (betfred)
- Nicola Mclean: 33/1 (stanjames)
- Simon Webbe: 33/1 (paddypower)
- Brian Paddick: 100/1 (victor chandler)
Keep the bets rolling in, things are going to get even more interesting in the world of reality tv as we get ever closer to the finals!
