I must be too old but I don’t understand all this.

I’ve seen it all over Facebook the last while.

Who is Carole baskin??

Who is Joe exotic??

What is tiger king??

And why are people saying “that bitch Carole baskin”

Can somebody enlighten me please

Everything is Carole baskins fault in this house! Even my username.

Apparently saff is trans and identifies as a ‘he’ btw

You definitely have to watch it, it's the best TV show in years!

As an aside, though Saff is trans, in the after show she was asked about whether it bothered her to constantly be referred to as "she" during the series, and she openly says she didn't care.

They remain the only person to come out of this well, in my humble opinion.

Faez · 17/04/2020 14:38

I don't agree that her enclosures are as bad as his small cages

I agree, Saff came across so well

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 17/04/2020 14:43

Some think she killed her husband and fed him to a tiger

But come on we’ve all got an ex we’d fed to a tiger haven’t we............

She totally did it.

@Brogley

No!!!! I’m going to have that stuck in my head AGAIN for days Grin

muckycat · 17/04/2020 14:52

Oops, sorry. Must have missed the mentions of Saff being trans. My mistake.

Thewheelsarefallingoff · 17/04/2020 14:52

There is also a 3rd batshit zoo owner that rides an elephant and is like an Austin Powers villain.

Sedona123 · 17/04/2020 14:53

It's totally batshit, and proof that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. We were both 😱 and 😂 at the clothes, hairstyles, houses, and behaviour.

MissFitton · 17/04/2020 14:54

Plus I saw something the other day which claims that Jeff Lowe is Carole Baskin's first husband (the one she left because he was abusive). They do have very similar moustaches.

OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe · 17/04/2020 14:57

@Thewheelsarefallingoff Doc Antel.....he gives me the fear! Creepy weirdo

SimonJT · 17/04/2020 14:58

Joe’s husband keeps Joe’s instagram up to date, there is sometimes some fantastic bonkers content.

YangShanPo · 17/04/2020 15:03

It really does have everything in a.very crazy way.

Brogley · 17/04/2020 15:07

@Keepmeawayfromthecrisps it has been stuck in my head all week. DH asked who tipped all the felt-tipped pens on the floor and instead of saying "DD did it" I sang that to him.

WickedlyPetite · 17/04/2020 15:08

I just didn't get the hype and found the first 2-3 episodes a bit dull.

But anyway, I'm Team Carole, tbh there are 2 people in my life that - if I could kill them and feed them to tigers - and be certain I'd get away with it, a hundred percent I'd do it.

Pinkstars2501 · 17/04/2020 15:09

Oh man @Brogley !
I've JUST got that out of my head.... Ah well back to annoying DH with it Grin

bloodyhellsbellsx · 17/04/2020 15:10

Quickly goes to add Joe Exotic on insta!

They are all such creeps but it’s binge watch worthy! I’ve not finished it yet but surely it must come out Joes husbands aren’t gay? The youngest one physically flinches when he goes to kiss him 🤣

drunkyhumptydumpty · 17/04/2020 15:11

Kelci 'Saff' Saffery is actually a trans man. Not a lady lesbian. Fun fact I recently learned.

Elephantonascooter · 17/04/2020 15:22

Joe definitely paid saff a shit ton to keep quiet and return to work as she did.

Carol Baskin is absolutely mad but I don't think she killed her husband and fed him to tigers. I recon he ran away because of how bats hit she was. She is also no better at taking care of tigers than Joe is.

PipGirl404 · 17/04/2020 15:24

You know who I blame for your lack of information?

THAT BITCH CAROLE FUCKIN BASKIN
