Thanks to Oo I just got a link to a great place where I could watch all the exile island episodes, so now I'll analyze the recaps and how Casaya was painted as a tribe.

(Skipping ep #2 since they weren't divided into Casaya and La Mina yet)
Ep #3: Shane got a lot of N focus, both before and after the switch. Shane was shown wanting to quit, but then Aras is credited with getting him to stay, Cirie/Melinda get sympathy from one of them going home over Shane who wanted to quit. Jeff never says anything about Casaya as a whole.

Ep #4: Bruce is called the savior of the Casaya with all of his outdoors knowledge, meanwhile the alliance of Aras/Danielle/Courtney/Shane is said to be 'strained' by Jeff as we see them fighting with each, and Cirie saying "these are the people you guys chose to align with, how stupid is that".

Ep#5: Casaya wins the bathroom reward and has conflict over how to use it, Jeff never says what's the right decision, but the music seems to imply using it as a bathroom instead of a place to keep dry wood was a mistake. Later Jeff says the alliance of 4 'continued to crumble' as we see Shane and Danielle fighting, and Cirie saying their alliance is some psychotic joke.

Ep #6: Casaya wins among other things fish, but returns to a flooded camp. Cirie says they won food but they can't cook it from the flood, Jeff says "but they made the most of their reward", and Cirie gets a confessional about worrying about getting sick from eating the raw fish (Notice, Jeff doesn't remind us about Casaya's poor decision earlier to use the outhouse as an outhouse instead of to store firewood). Later Bobby & Bruce spent 'quality time' in the outhouse, one is heard saying "you know what maybe we shouldn't drink this", Jeff continues "and in the morning they paid the price", someone (Danielle?) asks who drank the last bottle of wine, and Bobby off camera says "I drank it", Cirie gets a confessional saying someone would have to pour the last bottle of wine for her to drink it that they as a tribe won. Bobby shown having no remorse for drinking the wine when talking to Courtney. After the IC the alliance of 4 decides to vote out Bobby, then Jeff says Aras changed the plan, we see Aras argue Bruce should go, then Danielle changes the plan 'again' according to Jeff, back to Bobby. Shane gets mad at his tribe's flip flopping. Jeff says the TC voting was 'erratic', but 3 votes was enough to send Bobby home.

Ep #7: Shane wants out of the alliance, in the morning Shane asks to take his son's name back & end alliance, Jeff says "the casaya women granted Shane his wish and the alliance of Shane/Courtney/Danielle/Aras was broken". Casaya said to relax and take their mind off the game for the afternoon on their reward.

Overall there wasn't much mention of the whole tribe of Casaya by Jeff in the recaps. A lot of the Nivity was more focused on Shane, and the alliance of 4, the editing could have been a lot more brutal on the tribe as a whole, and could have had Jeff saying much more N things about the events recapped. One other thing I ought to note, it was never mentioned or even really hinted at in the recaps that La Mina was incompetent at all.
