The Bad Roommate is the 9th episode of Season 4 of Victorious and the 56th overall.
Plot
When Kojeezy, a famous songwriter, offers to buy a song from any student of Hollywood Arts, Tori and André try to write one. Since André is fed up with living with his grandmother, he calls Tori for help. But when a frustrated André moves into the Vega house so he can concentrate on his music, the best friends quickly realize that they don't make the best roommates. Tori makes André leave, which leads them constantly argue at school. After Kojeezy shows his dislike for Tori's first song, she claims to have a new one needing lyrics. This song, however, steals the original music to André's song. Eventually, the two best friends stop their argument and work together to finish the song. However, they failed due to Kojeezy declining when the song fails the baby test.
Subplot
Jade discovers that a satellite picture of Hollywood Arts shows her seemingly picking her nose on PearMaps, so she makes Beck, Cat, and Robbie not tell anyone about, but due to Cat tweeting everyone to "not look", everyone at Hollywood Arts sees the picture. Sinjin removes the picture, and PearMaps plans on taking another. Jade dresses well for the picture, hoping no one would remember the previous one. Unfortunately, a few seconds before the picture is taken, Robbie, trying to escape from a bee, accidentally trips on his bag and falls on Jade, causing the picture to look like Robbie is kissing Jade, much to her dismay.

- It's never shown if Robbie and Jade actually kiss; as their positioning in the picture looks like they are much too far away from one another, and that it's only a matter of perception. However, Robbie's Slap update says their lips touched, making the most likely scenario that he brushed lips with her and is exaggerating. But if you zoom in on Robbie and Jade, you can see that their lips don't touch.

Goofs
- Beck said the picture was taken a few months ago from space. However, a few months ago Jade's highlights were green and/or blue, not purple.
- However, he could have meant either a month ago or a couple of months ago.
- In Tori Fixes Beck and Jade, it is mentioned that no guy can go up to Jade without running away, but in this episode, a boy goes up to Jade and asks her the elbow question.
- Then again, he could've been too busy laughing about it to remember she was scary.
- Andre said he needed his grandma to write songs but he wrote "Song2You" without his grandmother in The Diddly-Bops.
- However, things could have changed over time as he started to be around his grandmother more often and got better songwriting ideas.
- Tori wrote the lyrics for "Faster than Boyz" but in The Birthweek Song, she said she couldn't write song lyrics.
- However, she could have learned to write lyrics.
- In Wi-Fi in the Sky, Andre explains to Tori that he was just visiting his grandma's house, implying that he does not live with her. But in this episode, Andre is clearly shown to live with his grandma.
- Andre said that the Vega's family pot pie was gone, but if you look closely, you can see one piece of it left. However, when Trina was licking the pie pan, the remaining piece disappears.
- Cat tweeted, "It's not fun to be full of bush peas :(" but it can't be seen on her Slap page.
- Near the end of the episodes had some goofs:
- When the picture was and before it was taken, the weather seemed to look cloudy but when the picture was taken, it seemed to look fine.
- When Robbie fell on Jade she seemed that his hands were on Jade but when the picture was taken, he seemed to hold onto something without having time.
