CBS announces St. Petersburg man among cast of Big Brother 11

CBS reality shows must really like folks from the Tampa Bay area.

That's because 41-year-old St. Petersburg resident Casey Turner is among the 12 contestants announced today in the newest edition of CBS' unscripted live-in-a-house competition, Big Brother.

Turner follows in the footsteps of Lakeland native Spencer Duhm, who became the youngest person to compete on CBS' castaway show Survivor in its latest cycle. And Big Brother has featured a Tampa Bay resident before: the ninth cycle of the show featured Sarasota native "Crazy James" Zinkand.
