"Dancing With the Stars" Disney Night wasn't all joy, especially for "Tiger King" star Carole Baskin, whose "Lion King" dance was roundly criticized.
Carole Baskin received the lowest score of the night.
"Dancing With the Stars" Week 3 was Disney Night, which should have been filled with great outfits, joy and ABC-Disney corporate synergy.
Yet, there was something dark on the dance floor Monday night, as the judges took off the gloves rating "Tiger King" star Carole Baskin's attempts at dancing.
And if you guessed that the animal activist danced to the "The Lion King," you were not alone.
Of course she did, in a resplendent lion costume that earned judges' raves.
The "One Day At a Time" star Machado is an emerging "DWTS" star and shot to the top of the leaderboard last week with an exuberant foxtrot.
Judge Derek Hough called for "more energy" and "sharper" technique with a 6 score. But the beaming Machado, who scored 19 out of 30 for judges' scores, will be back next week.
"The Bachelor" star was all the drama of last week, as Banks breathlessly updated viewers on Bristowe's mysterious ankle injury.
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba called it "the best dance of the night," said she was "elated" watching and gave it an 8 (total judges' score 23/30).
Yet, after the final twirl, it was clear she had nailed it, earning a "beautiful" from Inaba, who gave it a 7 (total score 23/30).
"You radiate so much joy." Total score 22/30.
It was like she knew she wouldn't have the soapbox much longer. Of course, her "Lion King" costume was sublime.
Baskin's total judges tally of a 12 out of 30 left her in a serious situation.
The final decision went to the judges, and there was not much doubt which way it would go this week
"Unfortunately, I cannot save you again the week," he said
