You are feeling screwed? Because it was disclosed you entered a competition? What were you going to do if you got in, wear a balaclava and talk through some sort of voice altering device to hide your true voice?

And if you don't get in are you afraid that people are going to ridicule you for the rest of your life because your name was in the to list with 500 people?

I appreciate that TC made a mistake, and you would think they might have gone a bit further in preventing this sort of mistake, but I think we have all suffered far worse invasions of privacy than this (half the people on the list probably tweeted that they'd entered anyway).

To clarify: I feel screwed because my previously spam-free mailbox had dozens of messages from recruiters and people wanting to "hustle" (get feedback on their projects, etc.). I generally believe in good karma and offer feedback on HN or Forrst. I am annoyed that people are taking advantage of the TC mistake.
