'X Factor' fans hoping that every week will see the end of Wagner Fiuza-Carrilho's stay on the reality show may have to wait quite some time.
The Daily Mail says apparent internet leaks claim that he is not scraping through each show, but is regularly in the top half of the public vote.
Bookmaker William Hill has cut his odds of winning from 100/1 to 14/1.
A Facebook group campaigning for the Brazilian to win has over 30,000 members, with one writing: "I had never voted in any of these talent contests before but Wagner has become an anti-hero. He is everything the show doesn't want. And that makes it funny."
