It is favorite. In the english language the letter o sometimes makes the short u sound. Perhaps this is confusing to those who don't know the rules of our language and can't spell worth a darn.

In England and some countries overseas, they spell certain words with "u". Like favourite, colour...

Favorite is the American spelling
Favourite is the British spelling.
The same happens with color/colour, behavior/behaviour.
