Ever wonder what goes into one of Tampa’s most terrifying attractions? TBO.com’s Ryan Bauer plays a zombie at Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream.

Almost 10,000 people auditioned for ‘American Idol’ this morning at the Amway Arena in Orlando. Of course, we were there too. Look out, Seacrest — there’s a new Ryan in town. In the end, only one singer will reign supreme; the 2010 ‘Idol’ winner just might be in this crowd!

It’s so hot outside, they say you could fry an egg on the sidewalk. Why stop there? We try to make pizza, mac & cheese, s’mores and more!

Wow. It’s really, really hot out there. We hit the streets of downtown Tampa at lunchtime to see how others are dealing with the unbearable heat.
