Mob Wives: Do Renee & Ang Remain Friends?

Back in the old days of Season 1
when friends were friends

After watching Episode 6, and the whole hands on the Bible ceremony, it left me wondering just how long Karen's peace brokering would last. After all, some pretty ugly things were said by Renee and Ang, things that are not easily forgotten or forgiven. I think that scene was filmed back around September. We still have no idea what is going to happen in the next six episodes, but there is some good indication right now that the "peace" has lasted and Renee and Ang have gotten past their differences. During the show, both Ang and Renee tweeted public apologies. Their apologies seem sincere to me. Here are the tweets for those of you who do not follow along on Twitter:




Karen and Renee have every reason to be concerned as long as outsider, Gnat, keeps stirring the pot. What I don't get is Drita has said time and time again she doesn't like the things she is hearing about Gnat, and yet she is always defending her. Ang keeps saying she is going to talk to Gnat about this issue and that issue, but has never gotten as upset with her as she has with Renee. Drita and Ang still continue to hang out with Gnatalie. I'm confused. I hope common sense prevails in the second half of this season. P.S. I want to know when I can say "Bye, Felicia" to the Gnat?

Mob Wives: New Blood Video Season 4

Crumb Killer versus Princess Funeral Home
New blood, new blood, new blood, new blood, new blood and on and on and on and on.  Are we watching Dracula or a tampon commercial?

WE GET IT.  THERE ARE NEW MOB WIVES.

The VH1 gods were kind enough to give us a 30 second deeper look in the vintage Mob Wives and the new Mob Wives this upcoming season.

“Touch me!...”  Who know Natalie Guercio a.k.a. Princess Funeral Home was so kinky!  Click play to watch the video below:



Drita D’avanzo is the best thing about this video.  Love her or strongly dislike her, she said in true Drizilla fashion, “I know that violence is not the answer.  But, yes it is.”
Violence is the Answer

Big Ang’s look says it all.


It looks like Staten Island may not be feeling the new Philly ladies.  We all have to tune in season 4 of Mob Wives to see how all this unfolds.  December 5 is the night Mob Wives New Blood premieres.  I don’t know how I feel about this new Thursday night airing.  What’s your first impressions of the new Mob Wives?  We also have a new poll up so please vote!

Mob Wives: For the Love of Bigg Ang

Bigg Ang poses with Renny @ the Drunken Monkey
A star has been born on Mob Wives.  Her name is Angela Raiola a.k.a. Bigg Ang.  The nickname Bigg Ang is appropriate for a reason or two.  One, she has a big personality.  She comes across warm, caring, wise & extremely funny. Two she has the biggest set of breasts I've seen in a long time.  I think she beats Dolly Parton in the boob department.  And that's typing a lot!  I know I wrote seconds ago there were two reasons the nickname fit.  However, there is a third reason and you all know what I am about to type: LIPS.  Bigg Ang's lips make Angelina Jolie's pucker look average.  And that's typing a lot too!  Jennifer Graziano truly upped her game for season two adding Bigg Ang & Ramona Rizzo.

Some of you have been dissing Bigg Ang's looks due to what seems to be excessive plastic surgery.  It would be easy for me to type, "If she loves it, I love it."  However, I'd be typing a lie.  I feel the same about Bigg Ang as I do Renee Graziano.  They were already beautiful women.  There was no need to go underneath the knife.  However, it's their bodies, their money & their choice.  So there I've type it.  I think Bigg Ang has creeped, crawled or ran into Joan Rivers territory, too much work done.

Now that I've given my honest opinion of Bigg Ang's appearance, I'd like to share what I love about Bigg Ang.  I love her voice and the way she talks.  I affectionately refer to her as The Mobmother.  She seems to be able to reason with the younger Mob Wives.  She wants the others to forgive & move on.  In her mind, there are good times to be had.  I think it's a noble idea.  However, frankly after all that has happened I'd call bullshit if Drita D'avanzo & Karen Gravano ever made up.  As a Mob Wives viewer, I want peaks & valleys.  Mob Wives making rainbow cookies isn't going to do it for me.  I do appreciate that Bigg Ang for the most part doesn't fuel the flames.  Another thing I love about Bigg Ang is her laugh.  I can be in the worst mood.  When Bigg Ang laughs, I laugh.  I can't help but to laugh.  It's as if her laugh is the most contagious disease in the world.  When I see her on the screen my mood immediately improves.  She the mob's own version of sugar & spice & everything nice.  I can see why the wiseguys flocked to Bigg Ang.  After a long hard workday of allegedly loansharking, drug dealing, murking and stealing who wouldn't want a woman that brightens your day?

Bigg Ang is a character inside & out.  She brings a lot to the sit down season 2 of Mob Wives.  What she brings most is just pure comic relief in between the he said, she said & I put people in hospitals moments.  And though Ms. Raiola isn't my favorite mob wife, I appreciate what she brings to Mob Wives. 

If you're in or near Staten Island, you should check out the Drunken Monkey.  You may luck out a get a deep voiced bartender with the sweetest personality & greatest laugh.  Some of the Mob Wives frequent the hot spot.  People have even claimed Carla Facciolo was there Thursday night with Handy Man.  Frankly, I couldn't tell you.  I wasn't there.

As always this is my opinion, you agree or disagree.  I won't lose any sleep.
