Lovely nurse Ellie walked down the aisle with tour guide Ben on Wednesday's episode of Married At First Sight.
But even though the couple got along well at the altar, Ellie's overprotective cousin Jordan expressed doubts about their seemingly happy union.
At the reception, Jordan made it clear that he was there to trick Ben.
“Ben seems like a nice guy, but I'm really worried about Ellie because she always looks for the positive in people,” he told producers.
“She’s had some terrible relationships in the past and I don’t want to see her hurt again. That’s why I’m here to interrogate him,” Jordan continued.

“I hope he has the right intentions to be a good, loving husband.” “We'll see,” he added cautiously.
When he confronted Ben, Jordan first asked what the burly groom did for a living.
“I do tour guiding and run my podcast as a hobby,” he replied.
“Oh, you have a podcast?” Jordan shot back. “How many subscribers do you have?”

Jordan further elaborated on the 39-year-old, next bluntly asking, “Why are you here?” Are you looking for a long-term relationship?
To break the tension, Ellie interjected, “They want to track you down to see if you're here to open an OnlyFans account!”
“No one would pay to see that,” Ben chuckled.
Jordan complained to producers, saying, “I always see the warning signs in people and get bad juju vibes.”
“I just feel like Ben might be here for the wrong reasons,” he added.

Ben admitted that he had applied for MAFS several times and that he had also been asked to do another dating show
Jordan then suggested that Ben may only be on MAFS to gain fame and promote his podcast.
He eventually took Ben aside to interrogate him and quickly discovered that he had already applied to join the MAFS several times.
Ben then confessed that he had also been contacted about another dating show.
Jordan got fed up and finally said, “I'm going to be completely honest with you. I'm concerned that you might be here to promote your touring business and your podcast – you're just here for fame.”
Instead of becoming defensive, Ben admitted that fame would be a “bright spot” from the experience, but stressed that he was also interested in finding love.
Jordan later spoke to Ellie privately and told her that he suspected Ben had joined the show to promote his podcast.
