On Survivor I'd imagine that they have some rules in place against that. But who knows.
ETA: Oh yeah, and what MP said. There are far more direct consequences to pissing the other contestant's off in Survivor than in AR.

Why do AR teams cooporate?

There is occasionally a good reason. For example, it made sense for Rob and Amber to work with the beauty queens when they were both stuck on the sign post quest. They knew there were other teams behind them, so rather than worry about beating that one team, it made sense to strike a deal and say, "We'll help you guarantee you're at least ahead of the other teams."

Why, when someone's having trouble with a quest, don't the people having trouble simply stand two inches behind someone else and do what they do?

To some degree I see a kind of unspoken agreement of convenience. Basically, if all the teams were trying to peak at everyone else's work, that would just lead to all the teams doing a better job of hiding their work. So it would kind of be a self-defeating strategy, so the teams probably just naturally don't even bother (kinda like there's an unspoken thing in baseball that says that a batter won't turn around and look at a catcher's sign). But that shouldn't mean you get pissed when you get sloppy and someone does catch sight, or is within earshot, of one of your answers (again, like baseball, there's no such courtesy when a batter's on second base, it's up to the catcher to do a better job of disguising his signs in that situation).
