Series 1 I'm not sure probably between Steve Rowetta and Tabby.
Series 2 Maria and Shayne I say was around the same then when Maria left then it was just Shayne
Series 3 Leona
Series 4 Rhydian
Series 5 Diana and Laura as well probably
Series 6 Danyl
Series 7 Cher and Matt
Series 8 Janet although after Rolling in the Deep Misha became a big favoutite obviously she wasn't after all the bully gate nonesense.
Series 9 Ella
I agree apart from danyl I wanted stacie

Yeah I liked Stacey I think after Danyl she was probably one of the other early favourites as well.

Eh? Misha was far from the favourite after Tainted Love, that was the first of her 3(!!) bottom two appearances. The favourite that night was still Janet iirc.
At half 12 at night after the Tainted Love performance she WAS the favourite. I used it in an argument about the bully-gate. A family member said it would effect her, i checked betting odds and said "it seems to have done her more favours" then she was bottom 2 - so...i was essentially wrong, it did effect her. Then she went way down in the stakes.

She was favourite for a few days after Rolling In The Deep too!

yes, and misha right behind.. amelia was never a favorite (??) neither was frankie - he was the rylan of the season (even more than johnny)...
Amelia was the favourite to win when Kelly voted her off. She returned with 48% of a 4 way vote and was favourite to win again.

Series 1 was Rowetta, Steve and Tabby.

Can't remember series 2 but I imagine Shayne was pretty much fave from say 1

Leona wasn't the clear favourite from day 1 actually. Ben Mills (Over 25s) was! She was third favourite but gradually shortened.

Alisha definitely wasn't a favourite of Series 4 either; I remember that Rhydian and Same Difference were some of the least favourites to win. The favourites were Nikki, Futureproof and Hope.

Series 5 youre pretty spot on. Although Alexandra was middle of the field in the voting, she was about 5th favourite to win and then just shortened later on. Laura, Diana, Austin were the three favourites though.

Series 6 the two favourites before the first live show were surprisingly to some, Stacey and Lucie! This was followed by Danyl, Joe and Jamie.

Series 7 I cannot actually remember but youre probably correct! I would add Rebecca quite high up though.

Series 8 was withotu a doubt Janet, The Risk and Craig. They were the top 3, followed by Misha B. And yes LM were predicted to be first to go.

Series 9 was Ella, James, Jahmene and Carolynne!
He's got it completely right. Try googling for 'X Factor 20xx favorites to win' - there is quite a lot of stuff which tells who was what.

Didn't watch Series 1 to 3.

Series 4 - Nikky and Futureproof were definite favorites to win. I can't remember who it was out of Hope or Andy though after that.

Series 5 - It was 1st - Laura, 2nd - Austin, 3rd - Rachel after JH. Alex was actually 3rd or 4th I think after judges houses. Diana was the favorite from the 2nd Live Show. And Eoghan was drifting between 1st and 2nd for quite some time too.

Series 6 - It was actually Danyl who was the favorite at JH. Stacey was close behind him and even overtook him in Week 1 or Week 2. Olly and Lucie were next down. Danyl and Jamie were also high up there.

Series 7 - It was after JH - 1) Matt, 2) Rebecca, 3) 1D, 4) Cher, 5) Aiden (who actually rose to 1st I think after 1st live show). Gamu was a favorite before JH and sometime after JH as a prospective wild card! But yes, S7's favorite hardly changed. Treyc was also higher up in Week 1 and Week 2. But yes Matt, Rebecca, 1D and Cher were always the favorites.

Series 8 - Definitely 1) Janet/The Risque and 2) Craig. LM were indeed thought to be Week 1 eliminations. Misha B and Amelia were actually closely behind Craig.

Series 9 - Yes 1) Ella, 2) Jahmene, 3) James was how it was seeded for quite some time. After JH - Carolynne was 4th.

Marcus wasn't the favourite for that long.

Janet - First 4 weeks of live show.
Misha - About 4 days favourite.
Janet again until week 6.
Little Mix had caught up with her.
Then Amelia came back and lots of odds went on her, she became favourite, then Little Mix became massive favourites.
He was. I was a huge fan of him on the show so was always keeping an eye on where he was in the bookies tables.

Pre-lives - Amelia
Week 1-4 - Janet (Misha somewhere in between)
Week 5-6 - Marcus
Week 7 (few days before she came back) - Amelia
Week 7-Final - Little Mix

Or if you wanna look at Marcus' odds:

Pre-lives - mid-table
Week 1 - 16/1 (mid-table)
Week 2 - 25/1 (mid-table/slight outsider)
Week 3 - 20/1 (mid-table)
Week 4 - 7/1 (becoming one of the frontrunners)
Week 5 (Reet Petite) - moment he became favourite and stayed there for two weeks (maybe slightly less due to the news breaking that Amelia could be coming back).
