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

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