This season of NBC's "The Biggest Loser: Couples" had Northern Utah well-represented.

It all started with an Olympic hero, Rulon Gardner, who gained national attention and then made more waves when he quit. Add a natural-born captain and a mother/daughter team from Bountiful, and throw in a surprise duo from Ogden in the middle of the season.
