No red X marks the spot, or does it?

By BroadCasting & Cable Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 7/23/2000 8:00:00 PM

Web site survivorsucks.com was reporting last week that a hacker calling himself CAPLOCK had discovered, by navigating to some source code, that CBS' Web site contained a graphic with all 16 pictures of CBS' Survivors with a red X over 15 of them-all except Gervase.

On its CBS.com Web site, CBS has been marking the departure of each survivor with a red X over his or her picture (currently eight out of 16).

Survivorsucks was drawing no conclusions, saying it could be a mistake by a CBS Web type (or perhaps a high-tech red herring).

CBS has long said it would neither confirm nor deny any speculation about the winner.
