'Dancing With The Stars' came back with another season and the fans have already been glued to the screen. While the show surprised us with some of the contestants, the biggest shock was when it was revealed that Carole Baskin would be appearing on the show. Carole has managed to make a name for herself ever since her association with Tiger King, Joe Exotic. After being in the news for a long time, she is finally showing a different side to her by appearing on the show. In the season premiere, Carole and her partner, Pasha Pashov made sure that they do not slip away from her personality. For this, Pasha made sure that tiger was the essence for all the performances. 

Right from the tiger being an element of their costume to choosing 'Eye of the Tiger' as their song, the pair did not disappoint the judges. However, it was not enough to get them the desired score. Carole managed to get an overall score of 11 and was still pleased with her performance. While she managed to have some fun, some of the viewers want Carole out of the show. A petition to have her removed from the show garnered over 6k signatures. "Carole Baskin, who rose to fame after appearing on Netflix's hit show Tiger King, has been a person of interest in the ongoing investigation of the disappearance of her ex-husband and is now being cast for the 2020 season of Dancing With The Stars," reads the description. 

"Someone who is a person of interest in a crime like this shouldn't be paraded on a show like Dancing With The Stars until her name is cleared once and for all!" the petition further added. At the same time, Carole's ex-husband Don Lewis's family created a commercial calling for justice that aired just before the show started. TMZ reported that the spot for the commercial was bought by the family lawyer. The advertisement saw Don's children pleading for any information regarding their father's mysterious disappearance. Don's former assistant also made an appearance in the video. 

All of them allege that Carole has something to do with the disappearance. While the advertisement and petition have been getting many views, it does not look like Carole will be leaving the show any time soon. With many viewers eagerly waiting for her next performance, it looks like Carole has found herself some fans. 

'Dancing With The Stars' airs on Mondays at 9 pm ET on ABC.
