Hey all you cool cats and kittens! Carole Baskin can add \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d to her resum\u00e9 next to animal activist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The star was announced to appear on the 29th season of DWTS a few weeks before the first episode, with Pasha Pashkov as her dance partner. The news overtook the internet. Most thought it to be a joke, until the DWTS team confirmed it. Soon memes were being made, news articles were being shared, and everyone was gearing up to watch Baskin\u2019s first dance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Her song selection wouldn\u2019t have been complete without a certain theme – yep, tigers. The first song she danced to was none other than \u201cEye of the Tiger\u201d by Survivor. Baskin continued with the big cat theme. For Disney week, Baskin dressed in a colorful tiger print with the flower crown she is known for wearing and danced to the \u201cLion King\u201d theme song, \u201cThe Circle of Life.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After this dance, Baskin was sadly eliminated and sent home with a score of 12 out of 30. While the dance was filled with color, passion for dance and grand cat-like gestures, it failed to impress the judges. The audience was not that impressed with the performance either. The dance started with her freeing her partner from a cage, a big part of Baskin\u2019s mission at the Big Cat Rescue. The judges better watch out\u2014we saw what happened to her husband. Yikes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first judge, Carrie Ann Inaba, started her feedback on a positive note. She told the pair how she could see and loved the connection between them. She then pointed out the technical issues with Baskin\u2019s dance moves. Derek Hough, a longtime member of the DWTS team, followed by saying that Baskin \u201csmacked it\u201d and her technique could use some improvement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Baskin and her partner were sad to be sent home, but they were great sports about it. Many fans believed that the show originally brought Baskin on as a joke. Either way, everyone had fun, and Baskin jokes that \u201cher husband will be glad she will be home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
