most outrageously horrible human being featured in netflix's TIGER KING: MURDER, MADNESS, and MAYHEM

xp lol, yeah no cyber-bullying unless you wanna shotgun a mannequin of your nemesis on your internet tv show every day for multiple years

I went with 'Bagwan' Doc Antle in the end.

Some mitigating factors for some of the others are imo:

Joe had been disowned by parents for being gay and had half tried to save tigers but then bred them but if you were desperate for money and were big cat rich ... he's also half trying to save fucked up people by having them work on his park but then exploits them too

Carole had been raped as a child - really cannot blame her for seeing an opportunity in rich husband, can easily imagine him abusing her and can't blame her, he must have been some level of crooked, I dunno I'd still find her sympathetic given definite proof she killed him

Kirkham I liked immensely, same with Dial

Jeff Lowe was fucking horrible but wrt to swinging his wife seemed more like an equal partner and at least sex parties don't pretend to be anything else - wrt to stealing the park this is sort of mitigated because all these guys would do similar

The scarface guy was just a very standard scarface guy

I truly hated, hated, hated Antle above the others and I think it's the sex cult that settles the score for me, so very obviously a whiny weirdo that had brainwashed young girls; and that he had no horrible backstory I was aware of, no demon sitting on his back

Anyone seen the Joel McHale followup thingy yet? It felt a bit "jump on the bandwagon" cheap.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

oh yeah, remember Tiger King?

Gonna make sure likely murderer Allan glover gets a vote

Haha imo Allen’s not even in the bottom half of this human trashpile.

Doc Antle is just so much worse than every other piece of shit in this show and I won’t be convinced otherwise. I was wishing death on him by episode three. I mean I’m not proud. But I mustered up some kernel of sympathy or pity or at least mirthful derision for everyone else. Antle’s new age pretensions are good for half a laugh, I guess, but he made my skin crawl from first sight.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Congrats, Doc! Feel free to provide your own trophy.

lol remember when this was a thing, back in the day

I never watched this but those ridiculous character decriptions in the poll are making me think I missed out

he's a horrible dude who deserves to be in jail but I do have a bit of sympathy for the fact that he finally achieved his lifelong dream of becoming famous while serving out the first year of a 22 year prison sentence

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2020 season is nominated in the 2020 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2020 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 29, 2021

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

summary of Tiger King season 2: everyone has a massive ego and nothing happens.
