• TVSquad: "Speaking of room sharing, did anybody catch Jimmy Kimmel the other night when he pointed out that Ruben and Clay Aiken probably had to share a room before the finale? It's pretty funny when you think about it. Who do you think snores louder? My money's on Aiken. He's hiding a grizzly bear in that button nose of his. I'm sure of it."
