X Factor bosses and contestants have made a secret pact not to criticise Chris Maloney in interviews – as they fear it will get him sympathy votes.
Simon Cowell and executive producers fear attacks on Scouser Chris are helping him to stay on the show and give him a chance of winning.
After getting the boot, Essex boy Rylan Clarke, 23, was pushed to talk about his feud with Chris but would only say: "Chris has got a massive fan base.
"It is a public vote show.
"If they are doing it for the right reasons great, if it is the wrong reasons they have only got themselves to blame."
He added: "I am friends with everyone on that show."
But an insider said: "Rylan would love to blast Chris but knows it would backfire.
"He was advised to avoid any direct attacks on Chris if he wants someone else to win.
"It is a new tactic by X Factor to stop anyone feeling sorry for him.
"There is a definite pact between the contestants not to give Chris extra publicity."
An X Factor spokesman said: "None of the contestants are told what to say about one another."
