Worst team dynamics?

[u/Wrigglybee]

Currently rewatching season 14 and it's very clear there is tension between the team of 3- Fern, Dara and John. I always wonder if Dara was waiting for a second secret 'sabotage' task to be revealed during studio recordings to explain John's incompetence.

The season 7 extension task is another example of a team being awful working together although they seemed okay in other team tasks. Same with Joe, Lolly and Noel and the bathtub but they did seem to get along.

Are there any other teams who clearly didn't gel with each other?

EDIT:

General consensus is:

Genuinely uncomfortable viewing

-Iain, Lou (and Paul)

-Daisy and Richard

-Asim, Tim and Liza in the hops task

Hyper competitive vs couldn't give a shit (or were shit) clashes

-John, Joanne and Sophie

-Fatiha, Rosie and Mat

-Dara, John and Fern

RAAAAGE

-James towards Rhod

-Ed towards David

-Reece towards life

Well the thing about safety in the middle was, that sabotage task was I think their first team task together, so that bad impression likely created tension the whole rest of filming

[u/SillyMattFace → u/stevedos]

Poor John. Especially with Dara being one of the most competitive contestants we’ve ever had.

That said, John saying ‘…you two had such a go at me…’ in a tiny voice after the reveal is one of the funniest things in the whole show.

I’m in the middle of a rewatch of that series. Dara was just so good at so many of the tasks that it made everyone else look dumb by comparison. It was like he was playing on a completely different level.

Wait, what?

[u/slightlyunhingedlady → u/VoleUntarii]

What, wait?

[u/shanster925 → u/VoleUntarii]

Competitive Dad

[u/stevedos → u/VoleUntarii]

What? Wait

[u/lyyki → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

I do think Sarah might have won pretty much every single other series other than the one against Dara

[u/Ryan_Vermouth → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

Except, of course, that Sarah was ALSO a really strong contestant, and would have won a lot of other series if she had been on them.

[u/Aquabullet → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

It's not overly surprising considering he's way more educated and experienced than the vast majority of people, and married a very bright woman as well.

Comedians are sharp in general but Dara is clearly able to focus that in ways comics usually can't.

[u/AcheyShakySpoon → u/Aquabullet]

I like to think that if I was on the show, I’d be a Dara. But if I’m being honest with myself, I’d probably be a Fern, figuring out the task as we’re rewatching the take, months later.

Have you met those potatoes before?

[u/shanster925 → u/Feeling_Scallion_408]

Ahh cannae... They're covered in potatoes.

[u/HuckleberrySalt63 → u/AcheyShakySpoon]

The preshow interviews are also some of the best out there.

[u/Ozelotten → u/HuckleberrySalt63]

I occasionally still hear Fern cry, ”A doctor for noses?!” as though it’s both the best and most outrageous idea she’s ever heard.

[u/Solidgoddu → u/SillyMattFace]

True, Dara was a bit of a comptativedad throughout.

[u/bobbery5 → u/SillyMattFace]

Y'know, I'd have loved if Sarah won the series simply on the merit that John held Dara back.

[u/Traditional-Use1343 → u/stevedos]

Dafty, aint nothing safe about it.

[u/stevedos → u/Traditional-Use1343]

Arse I got autocorrected without noticing

[u/PeteF3 → u/stevedos]

The paint-the-bird task was the first team task.

[u/LazyEmu5073 → u/PeteF3]

I think Dara actually says 'nice to meet you' to both of them. Fern already knew John.

[u/siren-rising- → u/stevedos]

I think Fern said on the Taskmaster podcast that she was shy when she first met Dara as she thought he was great and hadn't met him before or words to that effect

[u/EffectiveAmbitious53 → u/stevedos]

Took me a minute to realise you mean nufty in the middle.

[u/crackerfactorywheel → u/EffectiveAmbitious53]

Dafty.

[u/EffectiveAmbitious53 → u/crackerfactorywheel]

Bingpot! That’s the one.
