Yes, it's a factor in pretty much all edited reality television shows.

That said, without live feed there's no possible way to cross check the edit with reality so I'm always baffled and annoyed when people overuse the 'yeah well they're probably just not showing x and y but I bet they're great housemates!', it's completely pointless conjecture. If they were doing stuff they'd be shown, and supporting housemates based off of imaginary footage that's all hypothetical is pretty stupid as far as I'm concerned, why evict a housemate you know is delivering on the gamble that someone else will?

Like I said, it's different when there's live feed because you know how people are truly being portrayed - but without it all we have to go off and trust is the edit, there's no point basing our opinions off anything else
