Scott Mariani loves a challenge. More importantly, he loves seeing his while family take a challenge and succeed. Three years ago, during Season 2 of “Can You Beat Biggy?” he and two of his children, Simon and Sophia, defeated me during a three-week stretch while his other daughter, Samantha, just missed knocking me off.

That season, I lost nearly as much as I won, finishing 13-10-1, and Team Mariani was responsible for three of those 10 losses.
