Minnesota contestants vie to be "The Biggest Losers"

A local father-daughter team will be featured in the upcoming season

O'Neal Hampton, Jr., a 51-year-old US Postal Service station manager, and his 24-year-old daughter SunShine Hampton, a local restaurant server, will be among the 11 teams competing for $250,000 - not to mention healthier bodies - in the upcoming season of "The Biggest Loser: Couples."

We don't have details on how much either has to lose, but we're told that this season, which starts Jan. 5 on NBC, will feature the heaviest contestant ever (526 pounds) and a pair of identical twin brothers who tip the scale colectively at 1,000 pounds.
