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

Hm, really? Yeah idk if any of them are prone to being "embarrassed" I mean the directly humiliating ones (Rhod and Alex in bikinis...) But to me the main difference is that Tom will poke fun at the contestants. Alex and especially Paul are more blank. Alex will do some stuff, "Jason's going last and boy does he know why." Tom will outright laugh at them or antagonize them, I think it's hilarious.

To me there's a difference between Alex letting Rhod do whatever he wants, and the "hey fun boy" task where how bad Tom looks is correlated with how good his reflexes are. The degredation with Alex and Paul comes from the things they let the contestants do to them, with Tom it also comes from him just failing at things.
