Joe McElderry is wowing the judges and bettors
"Joe McElderry gained a standing ovation from all four judges for the second week running – consolidated his position as the favourite with two memorable displays to leave his rivals trailing in his wake."
Magnificent Joe now clear favourite to win X Factor after double standing ovation
Two remarkable performances on Saturday night have seen Joe McElderry become odds-on at [1.76] to win the X Factor, according to Betfair customers.
Cheryl Cole's protégé- who gained a standing ovation from all four judges for the second week running - consolidated his position as the favourite with two memorable displays to leave his rivals trailing in his wake.
Lloyd Daniels was eliminated on Sunday night, leaving Stacey Solomon ([4.7]), Olly Murs ([7.0]) and Danyl Johnson ([11.0]) vying with Joe for this year's crown, although if the Betfair markets are to be believed, the young Geordie already has one hand on the prize.
Betfair spokesman Ari Last said: "Like the judges, our customers were blown away by Joe's performance on Saturday night, and right now it's hard to see him not winning the competition."
