I agree that it's a shame. She seems to me to be a nice intelligent girl. I guess that's why she didn't fit in.
The replacement won't have the disadvantage that Claire had of coming in very late.
But the new housemate still may not have the public's respect if he or she has been watching the first few episodes. That would look like unfair inside information.
Does anyone know if the replacements have been locked away like Josh was last year?
