Injury[]
Alex injured his Achilles tendon while rehearsing and was unable to dance for the July 7, 2010 performance show. After being automatically placed in the bottom 3 with Billy Bell and Ashley Galvan, Wong learned he would require surgery and at least 3 months of recovery time. Because of this, he was forced to withdraw from the competition on the July 8 results show, thus sparing both Bell and Galvan from possible elimination.
