ENTER TO WIN!
What character will 'Lost' lose next?
It's close-yours-eyes time for those who don't want anything to interfere with the surprises offered by ABC's made-in-Hawaii drama, "Lost."
For the rest of you -- the producers have made no secret of the fact that they plan to kill off another major character, and very soon, a repeat of last season's farewell to Boone (Ian Sommerhalder).
Who will it be and how will it happen? Tell us what you think. The person with the answer that comes closest will win a Dharma Institute T-shirt (if you don't know what the Dharma Institute is, you're not watching closely enough).
This is an e-mail-only contest. E-mail entries to features@starbulletin.com. Deadline is Friday.
