Default Misleading Edits?

Hi all,
Long time reader, first time poster. Been watching Survivor since the beginning.

On the weekend I rewatched the first episode of Tocantins and noticed something weird. It happened at the end during the voting and involved Carolina. While at TC, Carolina had her hair down around her shoulders. Then, I think it was after Sandy voted they showed a shot of Carolina with her hair pulled back (in an elastic so to speak). Carolina was shaking her head "No". Then a couple of people later, Carolina votes, but her hair is down (not pulled back in an elastic). After she goes back and sits down, her hair is pulled back again.
So I have to ask, what's going on?
IMO, after she voted and sat down, she had a 'scrunchy' and put it in her hair. But should the editters be allowed to use a future shot and mislead the public by using the clip out of context like that? It makes me wonder how many more times they pull crap like that.

-------------

That said, I've also noticed that during the episode, they give-away who's going to be voted off sometimes. They did it last week for sure. They show a clip of a person (this time Carolina) talking, but the person looks too cleaned up and is wearing clean cloths, and they're infront of what looks like tropical 'backdrop'. It's as if the clip was filmed after the person got voted off and is back at the hotel. As soon as I saw it last week I knew Carolina was going home. They did it last season with Corinne, also. I'm willing to bet it was the same backdrop used.

TC is often 2-3 hours long, thats why the hair maybe up and down--it is different clips pieced together.

But the TC was misleading. Carolina states in her interviews she knew she was going home. Before TC no one would talk to her or only in short little bites. At TC when people started bad mouthing Sandy she thought " maybe I'm wrong" but she was not.

YOU CAN NOT BE BLINDSIDED IF YOU GO TO TC KNOWING YOUR GOING HOME!!!! Stop with the fake blindsides already.
