Week 3 demands a different leg. Off camera a custom dance prosthetic was built for the routine. The modification moves sports medicine safety standards into reality television for the first time on the show. It also reframes how the program handles adaptive athletes. The story is not only about scores. It is about design, risk and visibility.
