The problem with the common "editing complaint" is that no matter what parts are chosen to be shown, the person still chose to do or say whatever they did. I believe that no amount of editing could make some people look as annoying as this because they do not choose to act like that. The image of a person or team is at least partially decided by the way they chose to act in front of the camera. The reason why some teams (several come to mind) are not thought of this way is because they did not create any drama, if they did we would have seen it.
The editors can only work with what material they have and that material is created by the team.

Call the Vatican. Do you live inside Jaime's pocket 24 hours a day? How do you know that she NEVER tells anyone off? I distinctly remember her yelling at a police officer in a foreign country for DARING to speak to somebody who wasn't her.

We all say bad things in real life. Sometimes when we're tired and cranky, we lash out at people. MOST of us tend to feel bad about it and apologize or show any sign whatsoever of this being an exception to the rule and not the cornerstone of our characters. Jaime has not shown herself to be one of those people. What she has shown though was that she is an Ugly American who will whine and whine and whine about the people of the world not speaking English in order to help her win a million dollars. I find that to be very telling of her character and not an editing trick. Also very telling was Cara's obvious embarrassment caused by Jaime's inexcusable behavior. I was always on the Free Cara! camp because I remember her as being the normal, decent, nice racer who had to take time off from law school to race (I respect and admire her for that because I love the Race and would make any sacrifices to be on it as well) who was stuck with a xenophobic bully.

Caelestor:
Guys, don't judge a person based on their personalities in the race. It's almost always edited to make it more full of drama than it usually is. Now, you can criticize their actions, but that doesn't mean they act like that in real life. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

Which is why I will give every single team on this race a second chance. A lot of TAR 11's teams were much more different from their original seasons.
