Christopher Maloney and Rylan Clark have both been plagued by Twitter trolls throughout their time on The X Factor and the general consensus is they both should have got the boot ahead of Ella Henderson, but which camp wannabe will win this week's X Factor Celebrity Face Off?
Christopher Maloney and Rylan Clark go head to head in this week's X Factor Face Off
Likeability
Christopher Maloney touched the hearts of the nation during his first audition when he could barely hold his mic because of his nerves.
His tears, shaky knees and quivering lip have seen him sail through the competition so far but with reports of him being a 'diva' being bandied about, the public are still unsure what to really make of him.
After his mammoth crying sesh when Nicole Scherzinger told him he'd made it through to the live finals, Rylan quickly became a bit of a laughing stock.
But as the weeks rumble on, and as judges and contestants alike remind us that he is a nice, genuine guy it's getting harder and harder not to warm to him.
Winner round one: On TV they both seem as nice at pie but if Louis Walsh says Maloney is a backstage diva then he must be. Rylan Clark wins this round.
Gary Barlow has been quick to insist that Christopher does not deserve all the flak he's been getting and perhaps he doesn't.
But let's not forget the Take That star didn't even chose to take Chris through to the live shows, choosing Melanie Masson, Kye Sones and Carolynne Poole instead.
And Barlow really stuck the knife at the weekend when he told James Arthur on live TV that he was backing him to be crowned this year's winner. Ouch.
Nevertheless, Gary has despised Rylan right from the off. He has dubbed the Essex boy a 'joke act' and point blank refused to enjoy every single one of his performances.
However, Gary is happy to admit that Rylan is a nice guy whether he deserves his place on the show or not.
Winner round two: Gary has a bit of a soft spot for Rylan and his cheeky onstage banter but it's clear he'd like Christopher to stick around longer than Rylan whether he wants him to win or not. Christopher wins.
Christopher Maloney has been dubbed the next Steve Brookstein and Simon Cowell is said to be furious the former cruise ship singer is still in the competition.
And with SiCo's help and advice unlikely to be coming his way it doesn't look as though Christopher will be sticking around for long. Maybe a bit of panto next Christmas perhaps?
On the other hand, although Rylan doesn't have the best voice he's got an infectious personality and an enormous stage presence which will no doubt be knocking about for the near future at least.
There's been rumours he's been lined up for TOWIE and you never know, he may even secure a guest spot on This Morning too. There's loads of potential for Rylan, with or without Simon's backing.
Winner: He's already bagged Katie Price as a best mate and has wooed all the right people during his stint on The X Factor including Kylie Minogue, Geri Halliwell and Robbie Williams. He's virtually C-list already. Rylan wins.
Yes Christopher has the better voice but at the end of the day, the show wouldn't be the same without Rylan and Christopher wouldn't be missed as much by a long shot. Rylan wins.
