This. With my accent and pronunciation it's two syllables.

It's supposed to be one, but a lot of people pronounce it with two syllables.

I came in here assuming 1, and a quick google search has proven me right.
But it can be pronounced with two, too.

But it's actually one.
People just pronounce it with two because they're stupid, but according to the English language, it is one syllable.
