So as crazy as this show is...I walked away with the primary thing I learned being that it's apparently only a couple thousand bucks to buy a tiger? That seems like a deal. I figured they were selling them for at least $20-30k each. Heck, my wife and I's check from the government that's coming soon will buy a TIGER!

So, are you also going to start having multiple 'wives' and hoarding assault weapons?  |

I swear I watched every episode with my mouth hanging open thinking this couldn't possibly get any worse... then it did!
At first I thought Carole was just this aging dippie hippie chick but quickly realized that she's as batshit crazy as everyone else. Also, I totally think that she killed her husband!

I was also surprised that tigers weren't that expensive. But the upkeep - 20 pounds of meat per day! - will get you!

Not only does it get "worse" with what happens, but I think if you had asked me after each episode "So what is the show about?"...my answer would have been drastically different after each episode.

I just looked it up and owning a pet tiger is prohibited in my state, can't even get a permit for it. Stupid government!

The tiger is kinda like a horse. Not nearly as expensive to buy as you think, but 10x more expensive to own than you can imagine.

When we were in South Africa, we went to a lion park, where injured animals were rehabilitated. I asked the ranger how the fed the lions, as they were sequestered from the rest of the park. The ranger said that they did not need to be fed daily, I think only once/week. The park had a deal with local ranchers that they’d get downed cattle or horses for hauling. The animals were definitely well fed! |

I listened to the Joe Exotic podcast by wondery a while back. I didn't know Tiger King was about him. It was long enough ago I couldn't remember the end, and the show definitely got into a lot more detail about his personal life than the podcast did. The show makes him look a lot crazier. Those songs were killing me. I plan to dress up as Joe Exotic this Halloween. Might paint my little white dog orange to look like a tiger  |

I walked away from that show having no faith in our criminal justice system. And that Bitch Carol Baskins totally killed her husband. Jeff Lowe totally set up Joe Exotic. And holy shit on the rest of them. I kept thinking “please tell me this is scripted”.

I've made it through two episodes so far. It's not something I can binge watch. I kind of have to let one sit for a bit to digest first. LOL

And holy shit on the rest of them. I kept thinking “please tell me this is scripted”. Did you get any information from outside the show? A lot of people have dealt with the subject and there are definite opinions out there that accuse the show of being slanted for best viewing. I have read criticism from people who were involved with the case and people who were around Joe at various points. She may have killed her husband, I don't know and I don't care, but make sure you aren't being manipulated by a single source of data that has the purpose of ratings and profit - not truth or justice. Documentaries are not legal investigations, and this one certainly didn't have an unbiased feel to it at all. |

What is with the singing on that show? It isn't him singing. Apparently he paid someone to write and perform it, but he didn't offer much, so they didn't put in a lot of time or effort. But that is okay, because he never paid them. |

I could see him being elected to a local position. He's not that far off from Trump, just what most Americans consider white trash. I think Trump is white trash too, but his money makes others believe he has class. |
