One of the biggest names that have managed to pique the interest of 'Dancing With The Stars' fans on Season 29 of the show is Carole Baskin. She rose to prominence earlier this year, in March, after she starring in Netflix's popular documentary 'Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness.' A lot has been said about who Carole Baskin is and her past, to a point that it has become a joke which extended after she took to the 'DWTS' stage with her pro-dancer partner Pasha Pashkov tonight on September 14.

Her partner Pasha while speaking to the cameras after the first time Carole stepped into the rehearsal room, said that he was not expecting her and he was surprised, "Her outfit screams cats," he added. Carole was the last contestant to take to the stage on the episode and she and Pasha danced the Paso Doble to the song 'Eye of the Tiger' by Survivor. She looked absolutely divine while on stage and did what she could but even though the judges commended her for being on the show, they weren't really impressed with her dancing. While Carrie Ann Inaba and Derek Hough scored her a 4/10, Bruno stuck to a 3. The other two judges in comparison to Bruno were pretty lenient with their comments for Carole but Bruno being Bruno said that "I say it like it is," and didn't hold back while he gave her his opinion. 

The Internet went ballistic after Bruno's comments. Like we mentioned before, there's been a lot of jokes and opinions on the Internet that the big cat activist might have something to do with her first husband's disappearance and now the Internet has been joking about being worried about Bruno's safety. Here are some of the comments. 

"Carol when Bruno goes missing #DWTS" said one with an omnious hint. Another warned: "If Bruno comes up missing for giving Carole Baskin a “3” #DWTS."There were others who expressed worry for hostess Tyra Banks and Bruno after the episode: "We need to protect Tyra (you saw the silent treatment) and Bruno! Carole is ruthless!! #DWTS. More warned, tweeting: "Carole Baskin, gonna kill Bruno and whack him #DWTS." Another viewer shared: "After giving Carole Baskin that 3 Bruno needs to RUN or he’s going to go on a thirty-year “vacation” #DWTS."
