X-Factor / Joe Dyer / 26 October 2010 /

They're the ones aiming to make money from the X Factor betting so what does the Betfair Forum think of the current contestants

On Wagner

"There's far less animosity around than Jedward had when the hype around them kicked off. To win he'll need massive support from non X-Factor watchers which will be tricky, but not beyond the realms of possibility once the chance of an upset is fully reported." - Screw Loose

"If only Brazil could vote." - George Brush

"With many contestants still left in the competition the voting will remain fragmented for several weeks, which with the Facebookers/tabloids etc should see Wagner through." - badgerbite

On Cher Lloyd

"I personally think the worst is over for Cher, for this type of majorly hyped act their popularity goes in cycles - first they're loved, then hated, and then people feel sorry for them and, given enough time, opinion swings positive once again." - jack12321

"There's something about her I like. I think if she just stood there for once and showed us she can sing a nice sweet song she'd be in with a real chance. Just don't think the whole attitude, image, rap thing does her any favours. Seems unpopular in the house too. Not the winner for me sorry." - Lou Macari's Tartan B

"She's a one trick pony. Massive production around same format each week. Female m and m. I don't think so." - kriti

On One Direction

"I genuinely think that the market who will go for the boyband are not big enough to carry them to victory. I think that's why JLS have been a hit because they have the r and b vibe going on and they are quite a lot older which is a lot more attractive to the 13+ market." - bustarhymes

"I think there will be plenty of older women that still like to think they're teenagers voting for them." - Mikeeey

"Plenty of women in their 20s will be voting for One Direction. Plenty! And for what it's worth they love the one who looks like Rory Mcilroy." - GymTanLaundry

On Katie Waissel

"I can't see her not making the last 5 and when the cuteness of Matt and One Dimension have worn off, I can't see any reason why she can't win it." - Xyloph

"She is having a Rhyddianesque journey." - Helmuthian Folds

"For me, there are so many 'one trick ponies' this year who patently cannot win - Mary, Cher, Rebecca, Aiden... - that Katie is just about the only possible outsider worth considering to make the final 3." - johnnyrant

On Matt Cardle's rendition of Hit Me Baby One More Time

"I was not mad on Matt's singing; I just thought he had what it takes to win this; until now. It could go viral when word gets round America. Best bit of Pop singing I have heard on one of these." - melv
