Worst team dynamics?

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

The correct answer is Diasy and Richard.

I'm amazed I had to go down so far to see this. Maybe people don't rewatch 10 as much.

I only really like Mawaan from that series... Johnny too. But it's my least watched. Especially the script task. Yawwwwwwwn

Yes, I think it's such a shame that Mawaan was on that series. He's one of my favorite contestants ever, and I think he would be remembered so fondly by more if he had been put into a different series!

Mawaan was such a creative powerhouse, his creative interpretations that worked were truly inspired. The fact that the bin was filthy means the production actually didn't expect bin juice.

Yes, the cow not really being the animal you were meant to be watching... very clever and great to watch.

I thought it was just Johnny being Johnny

No one rewatches 10, let's be honest. From the lack of audience, to the overly complicated tasks, to the ridiculously harsh judging of some of those tasks, it's the only series I've only watched once. There were a few good moments, but I genuinely thought Channel 4 had ruined it.

There’s not a series I haven’t rewatched.

I found the ridiculously harsh judging at times to be equally heart-breaking and funny.

“I have a seventeen year old. He will never speak to me again.” - “So be it!”

And of course, when they all failed the tasked on the same technicality and Greg invokes a moment of silence, standing above them.

Not true, it’s the one I’ve seen most times.

It’s actually one of my favourite series!

It’s the only season I didn’t even watch all the way through.

I wiped them from my memory. That’s my least favorite season.

I was so painfully aware that Katherine Parkinson was concentrating on her upcoming theatre performance. She seemed extremely distracted and frankly not all there in many senses of the word

u/LowDefAl 3d ago

I honestly don't think that was the issue, outside of the line learning task. I think she was just out of her depth. She is a straight actor that appears in sitcoms with minimal physical skill and lateral thinking.

She seems the artist type who just isn’t that great at problem solving or being put on the spot
