It’s not bad and it’s not good.

It’s just a little distant; a little standoffish,” Geoffrey continued.

Varya, who’s from Russia, recalled when the two first met at the airport.

“It was so embarrassing!”

She continued, saying, “I didn’t even realize what I said.”

Feeling rejected, Geoffrey didn’t waste any time flying back home with every intention of moving on.

However, Varya didn’t let him go that easily.

One way he did so was by making Varya ride nearly every Dollywood rollercoaster.

Geoffreyposted on Instagrama video clip of the two on a rollercoaster, which featured a terrified Varya.

After the couple made their wishes, Geoffrey bent down on one knee.

While she accepted his proposal, Geoffrey was nervous he’d hear another rejection.

“I was really kind of worried,” the groom-to-be told cameras following the TV proposal.

One thing’s for sure: Varya always keeps him on his toes or, erm, his knee.

As they said their goodbyes, Varya’s momexpressed to her daughterthat she’d support whatever decision she made.

However, she got her payback when a large mosquito bit Geoffrey in a rather uncomfortable place.

Geoffrey shared with fans on Instagram Live (viaYouTube) that Varya nearly passed out on all the rides.

“It’s complete and utter nonsense,” he said about the firing rumors.

Apparently, viewers will just have to wait patiently to discover the truth.

And when neither Geoffrey nor Varya were at the Season 4 tell-all, these suspicions grew even more.
