Hope and Leon Jackson are now in equal third place at 7/1.
On the 9th October, just a month ago, but before the first studio show, the favourites to win The X Factor this year were Daniel, Hope and Futureproof at 4/1. Both daniel and Futureproof have already been voted off the show. On the 9th October, Rhydian was one of the favourites for the first eviction.
