(May Contain Spoliers)
Shock upon shock!!! I think the creators of Tiger King need to be applauded for being able to maintain a captive audience 5 hours in with 2 hours to go! There is more that is revealed as we go on, I would say there is confusion when the interviews are set in present time reflecting back, but the actuality footage is set in real time as if it is happening, so the timeline gets a bit confused. The two major reveals this episode was that Joe ran for president and then governor, but that Travis died, I knew this was coming as he didn’t have up to date interviews, but not how!
I was shocked about Joe’s behaviour, as it alludes to the fact that Joe loured in young men who were drug addicts and gave them drugs in exchange for companionship. It was sad to see how Joe treated Travis’s mother after the funeral as Joe married Dillion only 2 months later! Joe invited Travis’s mother to the wedding but never spoke to her afterwards, proving that he was using her as a stunt for the public to show that Travis’s mother was okay with Joe marrying so quickly. I felt very said for Travis’s life and how lonely and sad he must have been, and that Joe’s possessive behaviour stopped him from leaving, which makes me view Joe’s character differently. With Joe’s presidency and later campaign for running for Governor of Oklahoma it calls to question whether Joe is acting for the cameras, or if he now believes that is the person who he is and has lost the distinction between them.
