One of the earlier seasons of Survivor had the winner leaked because of something similar.

Their website had bios of every player, with a <playername>.jpg headshot. As they were voted out, their headshot was replaced with <playername>_eliminated.jpg.

As soon as someone realized that, they entered in every player's name with _eliminated.jpg. One player had a 404 for that file.
