XFactor Judges Betting

On Sunday night passed, we saw with the rest of the nation, the X-Factor competitors trimmed to just 24 acts. Not long after that each group then found out which judge would be their mentor in the quest to become the eventual winner of this years show.

Simon Cowell was handed the Over 25′s clearly the strongest category of singers in this years show. Now, Cowell will fly Olly Murs, Danyl Johnson, Jamie Archer, Treyc Cohen, Nicole Lawrence and Daniel Pearce to Los Angeles where alongside Sinitta he will pick just three to go forth into the live shows.

Favourites to progress are : Danyl Johnson, Jamie Archer and Daniel Pearce

Dannii Minogue landed the Girls and has probably the talent within her group to give Cowell his strongest challenge. Stacey Solomon, Stacey McClean, Rachel Adedeji, Nicole Jackson, Despina Pilavakis and Lucie Jones will all travel to Dannii Minogue’s pad in Dubai where the other famous Minogue sister, Kylie, will offer advice on which three to send through.

Favourites to progress are : Lucie Jones, Stacey McClean and Racehl Adedejij

Cheryl Cole was given the Boys and immediately placed outside her comfort zone. No-one is certain how she will mentor Rikki Loney, Daniel Fox, Duane Lamonte, Joseph McElderry, Ethan Boroian and Lloyd Daniels. However, Cheryl Cole has called upon the advice of Will Young as they fly the boys off to Marrakech to select their final three.

Favourites to progress are : Joseph McElderry, Rikki Loney and Duane Lamonte

Louis Walsh again got the Groups and watching his body language on Sunday’s show, even Louis knows at this early stage he’s lucked out once again. The Groups are made up from Kandy Rain, John and Edward Grimes, Harmony Hood, Project A, Miss Frank and De-Tour. Walsh has selected, Boyzone singer Ronan Keating, as they head off to Lake Como, Italy, to decide the three for the live final shows.

Favourites to progress are : Miss Frank, Kandy Rain and just for sheer entertainment value (see annoying Simon) John and Edward Grimes.
