Back in the first season's finale, Gambo gave the results on air that Hatch won at about 5 pm local time, 2 hours before it was set to air. Gambo is a local sports radio talk show host that's originally from NY. He got the results from a buddy there and thought it would be funny to spoil it for everyone listening. At the time I thought it was a bit funny since I didn't watch season one. As soon as he said it, there were screams in the background and the next hour of the show had some entertaining calls from irate listeners. I’ll keep it Survivor related.

That could be the worst spoiler ever. I'm sure there are others out there who had the same 'argh-moment'! Someone was telling me about The Sixth Sense once before I had seen it, and they said, "I never would have guessed that ___ was a ___" (I won't fill in the blanks in case someone reading has not seen it)...but it KILLED ME! Now, I laugh at it, but then...not so much. @HOLLIE: ARGH! That could be the worst spoiler ever. I’m sure there are others out there who had the same ‘argh-moment’!

I had been standing in line with my family outside one of those grand old movie houses for a couple of hours in the heat. We were waiting to see "The Empire Strikes Back." As the previous showing ended and people were leaving the theater, one young man thought it was his responsibility to make sure everyone waiting in the line was informed that Darth Vader was Luke's father - Arrrrrrgh!!! Would have liked to freeze him in carbonite and give him to Jabba the Hutt. The spoiler that comes to mind occurred in June 1980.
