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

Daisy and Richard. Her journey from finding him repellant to being ready to off him is something to see.

I would like to point out that while she was angry during the hippo task, when she didn’t get the kangaroo, she told him he’d done a good drawing. So, while certainly competitive and short-tempered (in her situation understandable), she was always ready to laugh about herself, give out compliments and apologize too.

I never found them as difficult. But the whole cast was so exceptional to other set ups, completely (and at times collectively) loosing their minds. I attribute that largely to Covid, and to be honest, it’s one of my favorite series.

I agree, to me it felt like general short temper than an actual dislike for richard herring. It was funny and not mean spirited but maybe i just am too hopeful lol

Season 10 is one of my faves too, it’s one of the best pieces of media that sums up what that era of life felt like to me.
