Not convinced Sid would actually have been a fan but give me fit young women, wearing very little, being twirled and twirling (not sure that's the correct technical term) around the dance floor anytime over a cheap karaoke show. For the first time I will taking an interest in X-factor this year, but it's SCD that will be getting my juices flowing.
Talking of fit young women we certainly have a number on this years show. Obviously we have the professional female dancers, Erin (Miss Whiplash) and Ola being my personal favourites and also this year every school boys fantasy and also some who are old enough to know better, Kelly Brook.
Her pairing with 'bad boy' Brendan Cole has been hogging the Tabloid headline and it does look a hot pairing, but I shall be looking elsewhere for my main bet.
Women fill the first three places in the betting. The aforementioned Kelly heading the market with Gabby Logan and ex-girl band member Alesha Dixon pushing her close, but on past form a decent man will beat a decent woman in virtually all TV Reality shows. In the two just gone we've had Adele Silva, Marco's choice, massive soap star, witty, enthusiastic, full of fun and charm being beaten by Barry McGuigan who was a lovely guy, yes, but seemed to spend most of the two weeks mashing potatoes. I'm sure they were lovely and fluffy but is that enough to come out on top?. It seems so.
Prior to that we had the dreadful Brian beating not just one young woman but two in Big Brother, so for me it has to be a man.
So which man?. The one that stands out from a fairly average bunch is Blue Peter presenter Gethin Jones.
A good looking guy (almost as good looking as myself at that age..lol) , a large fanbase of kids and their Mums, a good sportsman (he was rugby captain at his university and played in the Lancashire under 21 team), a high profile, popular partner in Camilla Dallerup (the blonde one) and from the short clips I've seen of him and Camilla dancing on Blue Peter he has the potential to go far in this competition. It certainly looks like he's starting from a higher base than two of her previous partners in Roger Black (5th) and the chef James Martin (4th)
9/1 with Victor Chandler looks good value to me. Hopefully it will look even better after tonight's show.
Also if you don't have an account with Victor Chandler I see they are offering to double your first bet on bets upto £50.
All odds here.
