The edit attempted to create suspense and make Kim look better with the whole "Jay gone wild" thing. Your comments about Chelsea indicate that you bought it.

Everyone was down with voting out Michael, as we both suspected they would be after Jonas was evicted last week.

Chelsea was being straightforward with her alliance-mate by asking Jay about voting out Michael. It didn't matter that Christina and Alicia were there. They would be equally down for voting for Michael, and if Jay was clued in that the women were all together, so what? There was nothing he could do about it anyway. He was already concerned about that.

Kim called the move stupid because she is over-playing it and paranoia is starting to take hold. Jay voted for Michael in the end. Likely because he knew his vote didn't matter. He was in the minority, and he could either join them or oppose them.

Kim dashing over to stop Jay and Mike talking? Pure edit convention. Mike said he and Jay talked all day, and he completely downplayed the importance of Kim showing up there.

Kim was also shown telling Sabrina and Kat that the game would never be the same after this vote. Another false build to a fake climax. Michael was the logical boot. He had zero real alliances, and therefore, booting him changed NOTHING.

And you make too big of a deal out of some words mumbled under Chelsea's breath that were likely meant only to vent her frustration at losing. Though I admit that the fact the edit included them is likely another bad sign for Chelsea.
