Tonight, the girls got to choose which boy they wanted to partner with and Yasmin, having failed to strike up a meaningful connection elsewhere, decided to pair with Ben.
Yasmin said in her speech: "My romantic journey so far has been all over the shop.
"I think although it's early days when I have conversations with this person I feel he just gets me. I came here to explore romantic connections and I think I'm really looking forward to this one. So the boy I'm coupling up with is Ben."
Viewers felt Ben's face betrayed his real feelings and picked up on the very awkward body language between them as they sat side by side.

A second said: "Ben looks like he's been held hostage."
A third wrote: "Ben and Yasmin are the most unlikely pair ever, sharing zero in common!"

Yasmin massaged sun cream into Ben's back and he told her that her speech was "cute", while she said it "came from the heart".
But he risked undoing his progress as he failed to pick up on her sarcasm when she joked that he had a way with words, and then admitted he didn't know what "demeanor" meant.

Danny Dyer ‘never felt nerves' like it on daughter's wedding day
Actor Danny Dyer said he had 'never felt nerves' like those he experienced when he gave his daughter away as she married West Ham player Jarrod Bowen. Love Island star Dani Dyer wed sportsman Bowen last month. Discussing the ceremony on their podcast, Live And Let Dyers, Dani said the day left her feeling so emotional she 'couldn't talk about it'. Her father, former EastEnders actor Dyer, said of the moment he walked her down the aisle: 'My heart was beating through my f***ing chest. We had to start it again! It was so funny! 'I've done a lot of heavy s***. You know, I've done a lot of theatre and the awards things and everything like that, and there's a little bit of nerves, but I've never felt nerves like that. You know, just hanging on for dear life!' Dyer, who has recently been filming the second series of hit drama Rivals, said he felt 'choked up' at seeing the happy couple together. He went on: 'I needed just to contain myself. Because obviously it's a huge day for everyone in your family, but particularly the tradition of marriages – it's your father giving away your daughter, you know?' The pair also joked about how Bowen's nerves meant he got his bride's name mixed up during the vows. 'He f***ed your name up a few times,' Dyer told the podcast. 'Obviously it's Dani Charlotte Dyer, then he called me Charlotte, didn't he?' Dani added. 'We had to start it again! It was so funny!' Live And Let Dyers is available to listen to now on Global Player, or wherever you get your podcasts.
