Yeah bad editing definitely exists, it's just that it's an overused excuse.

I remember in BB11 there was a night when John James got a bit too vigorous when playing around with Sunshine, she ended up hurt but the other HMs just accused her of being over dramatic and trying to get people against John James (and this is how the show portrayed it too). On Big Mouth after she was evicted she showed a severe awful looking carpet burn on her thigh which you'd never have known she had from the highlights (the highlights that happened to air the night before she was evicted).

So yeah it definitely happens, but people do rely on that as an excuse far too often when it's not actually the case.
