Sounds like 'X Factor' is going to be all about sex and scandal rather than singing and talent this year as numerous papers reveal the sex scandals of the talent search.

The Daily Mail and The Mirror have both reported sex romps at Judge Tulisa's  Greek Villa during the "judges houses" stages shot in the last few weeks. The 23-year-old X Factor judge took eight groups to the Greek Island of Mykonos, but enforced a strict policy of no drinking or romping.

But after just two days, "The Sex Factor" broke loose and Tulisa was informed that six of the singers had been caught locked in passion.

Producers found out that two of the girls from one band had slept with two of the boys from another band, while two others from a mixed group had also took part in a sex act.

The N-Dubz mentor was apparently furious over the discovery and said: ‘If they’re just mucking about, just for fun to have a sex when they should be rehearsing then I’m not into that at all.’

Tulisa continued: ‘My villa was purposely higher up so I could see their villa at night-time. 

'I could see who was awake and who wasn’t and I was also listening to see who was rehearsing and who was not’, the tabloid reported.

The judge had made her rules clear from the beginning, as soon as the bands landed on the Greek Island, but didn't seem to be taken seriously.

Despite Tulisa having a party girl reputation during her early days with N-Dubz, she says that she would never go out before a gig and thinks the X Factor contestants should follow the same discipline. The judge has reportedly kicked out contestants for breaking her rules- dont mess with hard candy Tulisa!

 It seems the new breed of X Factor judges are all laying the rules down as Kelly bans booze, sex, smoking and even talking loudly.

Speaking to The Sun, Kelly Rowland revealed she won't be standing for any diva antics (good luck with that one, Kel) and insists hard partying is strictly off limits. Kelly is determined that nothing will ruin her chances of winning, which means her X Factor girls won't be getting up to any of the groups kind of naughtiness.

But are all these rules a mere rouse to boost ratings? Some media sources are reporting a set-up where partying is encouraged by mogul, Si Cowell. Off-stage won't necessarily mean off-camera, as Simon Cowell has apparently decided to get cameras installed in the finalists' bedrooms at the 'X Factor' mansion!

A source said: "Producers want scandal, sex and break-ups" to "boost ratings".

The free alcohol plan is already reportedly in action, with champagne and cocktails flowing at the hotel where the 250 contestants checked in for bootcamp.

There you have it, gone are the days of talent search, this years all about sex, scandal and spirits. This is one journo saying just change the name to sex factor, because ultimately that is all the talentless, unethical and bias "talent search" has left.
