Carole Baskin received low scores and wasn’t saved by fan votes on Monday’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars.”
Much to the fans' delight, the “Tiger King” star was sent home after performing a samba to the song “Circle of Life” from "The Lion King" during the show’s Disney Night.
Baskin, 59, and her partner, Pasha Kovalev, sported lion costumes and makeup during the routine.

After the performance, the judges struggled to say something positive about the routine.
Judge Bruno Tonioli said, “I'm stunned. I actually have never, ever seen a samba like this one. I don't know where to begin — but if you were dancing with the Brooklyn bridge, you could get more bounce.”
Carrie Ann Inaba told Baskin she has “beautiful hands” when she dances. She added: “But samba is more than that. It was lacking most of the other things."
Inaba, 52, gave her the highest score among the judges with a 5. Derek Hough scored Baskin a 4. Lastly, Tonioli gave a 3 to the contestant.

One fan joked using a cat pun. “Q) When’s Carole going home? A) Right meow. #DWTS #DisneyNight,” they tweeted.
