Tiger King with SPOILERS

[JuanSheetIsPlenty]

Seen it? Recovered yet? ready to discuss it?

OMG!

What did I watch?

The music videos absolutely floored me! how amazing were they? Cat lady and her husband sitting gushing over their video while the film maker was sitting trying to hold in all the cringe

That funeral speech! who the hell jokes about their husbands testicles at their funeral??? With his mum there? And why wasn’t his mum appalled? (Was she high? She looked high) and then the singing? It was at this point I decided it was definitely all staged and they were actors. But no. It’s all real.

What about sleazy McMaster crook Lowe sleazing over the new nanny right to his pregnant wife’s face! Ewww. How are women attracted to these men?

Reinke was the only decent person in the bunch I think.

Was really sad to see the other head zoo keeper guy, obviously completely fucked up on something. Really sad. And the poor woman who lost her arm and went straight back to work.

And his reaction being “I’ll never financially recover from this”... wow.

I think though that the funeral speech and what he did to Travis’ mum was horrendous. And that poor guy pulled out of Walmart to be a campaign manager, caught up in so much illegal shit and then witnessing a suicide. Just awful.

I’m on episode 3 and my mouth has been dropped open through all of it. Can you imagine going to any of these places and finding them entertaining?! Because I can’t. I can’t imagine anyone outside of Florida being anything but amused and disgusted.

Keep watching Terror.

Honestly, if this was a soap opera people would be saying it’s too unrealistic to be watchable.

And Carole meeting her husband walking the streets at 3am? Do you think she was a prositute and he was kerb crawling?

Oh definitely. Just like all those beautiful women apparently lured to Vegas hotel rooms by Jeff. Sure they were, Jeff. They definitely weren’t paid.

That guy is dodgy AF (that bit in the last episode with him and his wife made me feel sick).

Doc Antle though - that guy needs to go down.

Do you think she was a prositute?

Do you know, that never crossed my mind. But now I come to think of it...yes, that could be very possible!

Jeff is disgusting. Reminded me of my ex in lots of ways - I notice he had assault (spousal assault I think) on his rap sheet too. Doesn't surprise me. Lauren must have very low self-esteem.

Last night, I couldn't help but think of Joe's non-gay husbands having relations with him. It must've been pretty unpalatable for them, I mean, he's not the best looking of guys. Do you think they just took their drugs and lay back thinking of Florida/Oklahoma?

Also! I can't believe that a fifth of Oklahoma thought that Joe would make a good governor?! WTF OKLAHOMA?!

Oh god. I've got one episode to go but I feel absolutely filthy having watched it. What a sleazy tale. Those poor big cats - they seem to have been forgotten in all of this. How can it be legal or even considered safe to have people like this in charge of these animals?

We have only got one episode left too. Those poor poor animals. Made me furious. Joe is an absolute fruitcake. Massive narcissist. So is Doc and Carol.

TraVis’ suicide!
The girl’s arm being torn off!
The music videos!
Carol’s husband disappearing!

I think she most definitely was a sex worker now you mention it!

I'm going to watch the Louis Theroux doc, apparently it's on iPlayer.

The louis theroux doc is good comedy value if I remember rightly- it features a chimp that smashes a window and Louis being scared...

I thought the tiger cubs being torn from the mum like that was horrendous.
Joe E looks a lot younger in the Louis doc but still crazy😊 It's def worth watching.
Oh and this is the reason Joe was wearing a leg brace in some of the footage!

Jesus that injury to his leg!!!!

So I've just watched the last episode. Just shocking. 5000-10000 tigers in captivity in USA, only 4000 in the wild. This has thoroughly depressed me. What a supremely objectionable group of people.

I notice he had assault (spousal assault I think) on his rap sheet too.

Yep he strangled his ex wife! Lovely guy.

Carol being a prostitute hadn’t occurred to me either but it does make sense. Especially that she didn’t leave her husband for another 5 years. Suspect don was paying to see her all those years until carol finally persuaded him that he loved her

Omg I'm not surprised though, I'm surprised there weren't more injuries. I bet they were rubbing sardine oil on his shoes every day

Oh god. I nearly amputated my arm when I was 18 and that footage of his leg just gave me full on flashbacks.

Sorry SinkGirl I should have put a warning on it.

It was a total car crash from beginning to end!

I can’t believe they allow people to own those poor creatures - it was all about egos and nothing to do with animal welfare for all of them

Oh don’t worry, you weren’t to know - for some reason I didn’t expect it to be what it was!

Just realised his leg brace was on the other leg wasn’t it? Wondering if that was even real, wouldn’t put it past him to shove some meat under his trouser leg 😂

I thought the brace was due to him driving his car off a bridge

I watched this, mouth agape throughout. Just. What the fuck?

Yeah I thought the brace was on the other leg too. I also thought his injury looked a bit like a chunk of steak shoved under his trousers maybe in wrong.

Also wondered why they didn’t call an actual ambulance.

This meme made me laugh!
