Carole Baskin’s first ‘Dancing with the Stars’ dance is over-the-top tiger-themed

Tiger King star Carole Baskin is a part of this year’s Dancing with the Stars cast, and her first dance — a paso doble with partner Pasha Pashkov — might as well have had all the cool cats and kittens included in it.

It started with Pashkov in a cage wearing tiger print pants. He came out to a background with a giant tiger head on the stage and one projected on the floor, followed by the pair dancing to … Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. Moves included a tiger claw and roar. Think there’s a theme going on here? It’s a little much, but then again, so was Tiger King.

Baskin received just an 11 out of 30 from the judges.
