Biggest mouth
The words 'big mouth' and 'Gary Barlow' just don't go in the same sentence. He was pitched as being the new Mr Nasty of the show after Simon Cowell's departure but he's more cuddly teddy bear than raging bull. Granted, he has upped the ante a little on this year's series but the laid back, reserved and impossibly calm Mr Barlow isn't one to shout his mouth off. That's why when he made the notorious 'fag ash breath' comment to Tulisa last weekend, the world recoiled in shock.
There's no denying that Tulisa isn't afraid of airing her opinion - whether you want to hear it or not. She's one of the most vocal members of the judging panel, doesn't shy away from sticking up for herself (or her acts) and prides herself on taking 'no s**t'. Even her tagline on Twitter reads. 'my attitude is based on how u treat me. WARNING!!!!...' However, he comeback to Gary ('Just a note for Gary - lay off the red wine because I can really smell that as well') really didn't cut it.
Winner: Gary's insult might have been better than Tulisa's but she wins this round for her consistency.
Chane Of Winning
Right from day one, Tulisa has sat comfortably with the highest chance of winning the show. With Ella Henderson as one of her acts, it certainly looks like she's going to walk away as the winning judge for the second year running. She lost her first act Jade Ellis last weekend but with Ella and singer/songwriter Lucy Spraggan still under belt, Tulisa has everything to play for.
Gary, meanwhile, has lost two of his acts (remember Carolynne Poole and Melanie Masson, anyone?). He still has Christopher Maloney and Kye Sones to help him steal Tulisa's crown but who are we kidding, that's never going to happen, is it?
Winner: Tulisa walks this round and she has Ella Henderson to thank.
X Factor credentials
Singer/songwriter Tulisa formed N-Dubz with Fazer and cousin Dappy when she wasn't even a teenager and after 11 years in the music industry, they went on hiatus in 2011. She has since had a successful solo career (well, mildly successful) and has been a judge on the ITV talent show for two years in a row.
Gary is a member of one of the biggest British boybands to have existed. He also just happens to be one of the UK's most successful songwriters and a mover-and-shaker in the music industry (remember the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert this year, yep!). And his solo career speaks volumes too.
Winner: Gary wins this round hands down. Tulisa might be a good head on the panel but virtually nobody can match Gary's records.
Face Off Winner: Tulisa wins this week's The X Factor Celebrity Face Off thanks to her bolshy attitude that gets her what she wants and the fact she's well in line to win this year's series of the show.
