Default Worst Character - Angie or Beau?

Angie She was a complete airhead bimbo, with very long, blonde hair; that was considered to be the "female " Sweathog, but she did not have many lines on the show, due to the fact, that she was a terrible actress, and was basically hired for superficial reasons...


Beau He basically showed up during the Fourth and Last Season of the show; probably a replacement for John Travolta (What a Joke)

The producers should have known that nobody could have replaced Travolta. I don't know what they were thinking.

If you ask me, they had to've been smoking something when they decided to replace him. There is no way you could get away with that.

She was in a few episodes from the 3rd season of Welcome Back, Kotter; I do not understand why they list her as a main character, when she did not appear in a lot of episodes, and also she did not have a lot of dialogue, but she was like the female version of Beau; too bad those two did not get together, because they would had made a really cute couple...

Angie, the first "female sweathog" was a mistake, and she was quickly forgotten after only a few episodes. I actually remember all the hoopla surrounding that event, and I also remember she quickkly vanished soon after.

As for who was the worst addition, both Beau and Angie were lame.

The show had run its course; both John Travolta and Gabe Kaplan stopped showing up in various episodes, so the ensemble was broken up.

It's really hard to have "Welcome Back Kotter" when Kotter was absent from class.

Beau really didn't fit in with those guys. They come from two very different backgrounds, even though they accepted him as a sweathog. I really couldn't.

Beau, no doubt. Angie kinda reminds you of Amy from the A Teams early years.

I go with Beau. he was a Vinnie wannabe.

he was trying to be much like Vinne.

There can be only ONE VINNIE and that's John Travolta!
