After seening “Big Ang” spin-off show, which was pretty hilarious! Big ang is expanding her “drunken monkey” bar to Miami’s hotspot “Ocean Drive”. The new bar has been located at Hotel Netherlands on Ocean drive. After watching the first episode, I can say, it doesn’t really look like a bar at all, but it seems more they have used the front porch and the hall way of the hotel for the show. I can be wrong, but on tv it doesn’t really show it’s a real bar. Big Ang is bringing her new young entourage from NYC to Miami’s hotspot “Ocean drive”. After seeing this girls, the first thing was: Big Ang, are you serious? The Miami seen is all about being sexy, pretty faces and having the ultimate body. None of these New-York city girls got any of these qualifications. I was pretty more shocked! After seeing this show for 5 weeks, people on Twitter and Facebook are pretty much saying the same. The show is totally different then Big Ang’s show from Staten Island, but Big Ang, Bar en employees doesn’t belong on South Beach at all. The show has attracted 3 locals, but after knowing Miami beach on my fingertips, I know there is better fish in the pond to attract customers. The casting of this show went absolutely wrong!
Cast members
Big Ang is the owner of Staten Island Drunken monkey bar. Her first spin off was funny and her fans could see how funny and her friends are. Her show was drama free among women! After seeing mobwives season 3 which was pretty much dissapointing, because the wives among each other were only busy with ghetto drama and promoting their business ventures! There was no story line! Big Ang always kept herself away of these women drama. This made here unique and she has shown she is a woman with the heart on the right place. After all seeing this, big Ang’s fans are dying to see her in Miami monkey.
As you can see, this is Big Ang’s daughter. Her role in the show isn’t that big, because she keeps going back and forth between New-York city and Miami. In the 5 episodes I have seen, she keeps saying she has a job in NY. So here role in the show is pretty much worthless! The visual body enhancements are her boobs (not as big as her mom) and her lips! After this plastic surgery trips, she never looks any better!
Gabby (Big Ang’s son girlfriend) 20
This girl got homesick at the very beginning of the show. The only thing we have seen of her was her phone obsession with Big Ang’s son! It’s good she has left, because she doesn’t contribute a second in the show!
The cast pictures looks 100 times better then seeing them in action in the show. This girl boyfriend is in jail for murder! And still believes her relationship is perfect. She is very loyal to her murdering boyfriend and does not understand she is stil young and should enjoy life! Her looks doesn’t really fit the show, because she would be better of in TLC’s American gypsy show, then showing any style and sexy which Miami Ocean drive requires of women. If she can attracks customers for the Miami Monkey? These Ocean drive people has seen better looking and more styleful women passing by.
Ryan (Raquel’s best friend) 26
Since the very beginning of the show, this girl shows a high tention of having ADHD! She is very hyper and over reaction of everything! If she has the right Miami looks? No! It seems she can flip good cocktails in a minute, but she needs to be more respectful to customers! Her NYC attitude make customers more allergic to visit the bar then coming back! She is involved in every NY girl’s drama of the show! After seen this in 4 episodes, it becomes very annoying!
Roxanne (Married to Big Ang’s nephew) 27
This girl looks way older than she is and it seems, positivity is something still has to discover! She shouldn’t be in the show. Character wise she is drowning the show with her negativity and body wise, she doesn’t fit in the show and she is no shop stopper to attract any hot men to the bar! Who the hell has cast this woman? You see the production is giving more Staten island girls the opportunity to be a reality star, but not everyone can be a reality star.
Christina is a Puerto Rican Miami native. She is very short, drinks way to much and acts like she is a 13 year old who just discovered her own hormones. The way she acts in the show looks like a Borderliner to me with to many issues! This girl would be never hired in Miami’s top clubs. If she do like she acts in the show, she can turn the Miami monkey bar into a Miami monkey bordello! The customers will quickly think, she comes free with the drinks and do whatever you want to do with her. Her stealing and drunk actions in the show is far from funny!
This is the cherry on the cake when it comes to looks in the show. She is the one rises above anyone in the show. This girl can attrack men to the bar, but it’s only her and no one else! The girl has top model features, but after seeing a few shows, you will also see where plastic surgery did the job on her. Her lips are fake! Boob job and her cheeks are suspicious! She is a tall young woman, but her weight is concerning! The real modeling industry would reject her, because of her plastic surgery. If she didn’t do this, she could make a fortune with photo shoots for Eropean fashion houses and Victoria Secret.
Nate is the DJ of the Miami monkey and doing bar tending. His role in the show is a little vague. His appearance is nothing wrong with, but he is definately not the playboy of the show. He is liking all women who likes him. One woman is weaker for his sneaky attitude then the other and loves to group date. After seeing episode 5, he is still vague about himself and his real girlfriend! This dude has been wrongly casted.
Bottom line end of story is, this show failed in searching the right people to make this show a big hit. There is a bigger potential, but to bring this to a higher level, you need to select the right people to come this far! Unfortunately this is missing.
