Every Episode Of Tiger King Ranked
7. Episode Seven - Dethroned
Dethroned is still a crazy episode, but it's only really crazy because of what preceded it. As well as that, this episode is a different brand of crazy to the rest of the series. Whilst the previous six episodes - for the most part - are off the wall insane just because it seems almost impossible that this human being actually exists or that any of the events depicted transpired, Dethroned is crazy more because of what feels like some pretty egregious oversights in the justice system.
Frankly it seems astounding that Joe Exotic was the only person who ended up behind bars by the end of this series. Don't get us wrong, Joe deserved it. He embezzled money, he was a predator, he was abusive, he ordered a hit on someone and he was very much guilty of severe animal cruelty on numerous counts, but...seriously, guys, surely at least Allen Glover deserved to serve at least a bit of time! They literally have a recording of him saying he'd be willing to off Carole Baskin and the only reason he didn't was because Joe couldn't cough up enough dough! Doesn't that count for something?
Also, can we all just take a moment to think about that scene where Jeff Lowe says to his wife that she needs to get to the gym after having a baby...and then follows it up by saying he gets to choose the nanny since he "has to look at her"...then shows the camera some photos. Let us all collectively shudder.
