Synopsis
The Severed become contestants on "The Cripple Challenge," a new reality show set at the Manor. Alliances are formed, backstabbing is rampant, and lying, cheating and sex are an important part of the game- which makes for great television! In fact, the overzealous producer is even willing to risk the lives of Franny and Blazer&all in the name of better ratings.

Production notes
Produced entirely with Flash animation.
Cartoonist John Callahan, the creator and executive producer of this black comedy, was himself paralyzed by a car accident at age 21.
With animators in Toronto, Melbourne and Perth able to access materials from a shared Web site, work on the series was able to progress around the clock. Animators in Canada and Australia worked with elements stored on a designated database, and individual scenes were developed instantaneously by both the Australian and Canadian directors.
