Geoff was forced to withdraw by the doctor, due to having an undiagnosed heart attack. He did not weigh in at any point during the series, including the finale.

The contestants voted for Sam & Damien to go home, but as a result of Geoff's withdrawal, one of them was allowed to stay. Their fate was to be decided by the biggest loser, but as Damien was below the yellow line, Kevin became the biggest loser for the week and sent Sam home.
