That's not how betting works. The odds are caused not by the bookies but by what bets are placed. So if lots of punters put money on X to go, the price shortens. The pricing system works so that over many bets the bookies always make a profit. They are the guaranteed winners.
So people who disliked Farrah gambled on her to go, shortening her price. They lost, a few punters won by working out that in vote to save Baldwin probably had the smallest fan base here... and the bookies took their cut, as usual.
