History AlphaBitch / LiveACtionTV

** The episode "Boy Crazy" has a former one from the sixties, who [[ReformedBully was caught up in second-wave feminism and eventually became a women's studies professor]]. Her remorse over her treatment of the victim causes her to give the team a vital clue.

* Subverted in ''Series/ThirtyRock'', where Liz Lemon dreads meeting the Alpha Bitch at her ClassReunion. As it turns out, that school's Alpha Bitch was, in fact, a [[ClassPrincess nice popular girl]], whereas all of Liz's classmates regarded ''her'' as a [[SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp bully]] because of her cruel putdowns.

* ''Series/{{BIA}}''

* ''Series/ColdCase''

** The killer in the episode "Stand Up and Holler" was one of these, being captain of the varsity cheerleading squad and known as "the gatekeeper to all the parties". In the present day, she had two failed marriages (and was working on her third) and was desperately clinging to her glory days when she was the most popular girl in school.

** {{Downplayed}} with Natalia, who acts like this even more than Isabela, but being one of her best friends and hanging out with the popular clique to stay popular makes her more a BetaBitch. Though after her secret was revealed, she lost her popularity like Isabela.
* ''Series/{{CSI}}'' had a very ''dark'' use of the Alpha Bitch in the episode "Unleashed." The episode features a Homecoming Queen who is seeking retribution against Maria, the VictimOfTheWeek. Maria's only crime appears to be that the Homecoming King dumped the Queen to be with her, but this doesn't stop the Homecoming Queen from unleashing truly nasty attacks at Maria via cyberbullying. She and her cheerleading squad post obscene messages about Maria online, they upload a viral video of Maria allegedly saying "slut" and "whore," and they even manage to create a website that features Maria's face on a mule, claiming that 'she's a bitch' The website alone garners over 1,000,000 hits. Sadly, the pregnant Maria has a mental breakdown from the onslaught of abuse, along with other tragic circumstances in her life, and commits suicide. Fortunately, the Las Vegas police are on hand to save and deliver her unborn child through a C-section surgery, while the Alpha Bitch and her friends end up going to jail as the CSI team correctly assess they were the ones to blame for Maria's death.

* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'': A girl named Libby was pretty nasty: [[spoiler: she pretended to make friends with homely girls, dolled them up, had her boyfriend take their virginity, wrote all about it online, and gave the girls big necklaces so everyone would know. The sister of one of her victims strangled her, and then part of her house fell on her. Incidentally, that was the second time that week the killer on a ''CSI'' show said "I killed [them] and I'm not sorry." (The other time was on ''CSI'' where a kid shot his abusive dad.)]]

* Subverted in ''Series/ThirtyRock'', where Liz Lemon dreads meeting the Alpha Bitch at her ClassReunion. As it turns out, that school's Alpha Bitch was, in fact, a nice popular girl, whereas all of her classmates regarded Liz as a [[SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp bully]] because of her cruel putdowns.

** Jade Cole is arguably one of ''the'' examples of this trope. She always talked smack about the other girls, exploited Gina's fear of cockroaches and generally went out of her way to antagonise her and got mad at Wendy for taking up the phone because she'd just got back into contact with them after ''Hurricane Katrina.'' Even the judges disliked her bitchiness, she landed in the bottom two ''five'' times in Cycle Six.

* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' strongly hints that Penny was like this in high school. It's played interestingly in that she has always been a very sweet and kind person, showing few signs of having being clique-ish or targeted harassment. They only find out when the others talk about their high school bullies and Penny just shares a "fun prank" she pulled that was actually being an Alpha Bitch bully. [[HeelRealization She immediately shows signs of regret]], and even confesses to Sheldon how [[TheAtoner she probably would have tormented him if they knew each other as kids]].

** Marcia's main moment comes in "Juliet is the Sun" (where she becomes convinced she's the newest diva on the Shakespearian theater circuit)

** Her sidekick Harmony proceeded to take this position up until being killed and turned into a vampire; then, she became the IneffectualSympatheticVillain.

* Heather Chandler in ''Series/{{Chuck}}'', played to great effect by Nicole Ritchie, is Sarah's version of this trope, tailored especially for Sarah in this case, as Heather is also a [[spoiler:Femme Fatale]] in addition to still being an Alpha Bitch as a grownup.
** She somewhat redeems herself in her second appearance, where she admits she genuinely ''did'' [[spoiler: try to love her husband, whom she originally married for money, but failed. At the end she sincerely wishes Sarah better luck in her relationship with Chuck.]]

** "The Sleepover" revolved around a [[TitleDrop sleepover]] at the house of a middle school alpha bitch who poached the victim's former best friend into her GirlPosse. She was also a CreepyChild who killed the family cat when she was young. [[AbusiveParents Her parents]]' form of discipline was disturbing, to put it nicely. She has not changed at all in the present, to the point that while she didn't commit the murder, it was a shame the detectives couldn't arrest her.

** The killer in the episode "Stand Up and Holler" was one of these. In the present day, she had two failed marriages (and was working on her third) and was desperately clinging to her glory days when she was the most popular girl in school.
** Another episode has a former Alpha Bitch from the Fifties, who became caught up in second-wave feminism and eventually became a teacher. Her remorse over her treatment of the victim causes her to give the team a vital clue.
** "Sleepover" revolved around a [[TitleDrop sleepover]] at the house of a young Alpha Bitch who poached the victim's best friend into her girl posse. She was also a CreepyChild who killed the family pet. Her parents' form of discipline was disturbing to put it nicely.

** Isabela was considered "the queen of the school" as Alex said. However she lost this status once she'd been revealed as transgender.
** {{Downplayed}} with Natalia, she acts like this even more than Isabela but being one of her best friends and hanging out with the popular clique to stay popular makes her more a BetaBitch. Though after her secret was revealed, she lost her popularity like Isabela.

Incidentally, that was the second time that week the killer on a ''CSI'' show said "I killed [them] and I'm not sorry." (The other time was on ''CSI'' where a kid shot his abusive dad.)]]

* ''Series/ReadyOrNot'': Older classmate Chrissy is the stereotypical popular, pretty and mean girl who always picks on Busy and Amanda. Amanda has fallen into InWithTheInCrowd trope a couple of times; one episode has her hanging out with Chrissy and believing they were getting close, only for Chrissy to use her to get a big assignment completed and manipulate her into shoplifting and blackmailing her to keep quiet.

* Yasmine from ''Series/CobraKai''. Mean girl, has a GirlPosse with [[BetaBitch Moon]] and Samantha (Daniel's teenage daughter). The main target of her meanness is Aisha, who is overweight and a bit nerdy. Yasmine would get a major comeuppance when Aisha (who got fed up with the abuse and joined Cobra Kai) gave her a front wedgie in front of everyone.

** ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' has Gigi, a snobby popular girl with a GirlPosse who picks on [[CoolLoser Alex]] and [[NaiveEverygirl Harper]].

* AlphaBitch: An adult version appears in, funnily enough, the episode where Adam proves that alpha males don't exist. She proceeds to mentally dominate Alpha!Adam while Normal!Adam narrates that humans' closest genetic relatives are not chimps, but bonobos, which are actually ''matriarchal''.

* ''Series/HenryDanger'': The one-shot Paula Makiato of the Man Fans from "Spoiler Alert" is way beyond alpha bitch levels, as she constantly bullies and berates Piper in her attempts to join the club and exploits her attempts at every turn. She rightfully gets punished when Piper becomes the new president of the club in her place.

* Addison (who is similar to how Alison used to be, being Queen Bee, having her own Girl Posse and bullying her classmates who are different, such as a girl called Claire who is deaf) is very popular and willing to do anything to stay there and get her own way. Not only that, but like Alison, Addison disappears on a girls sleepover, likely going missing just like when Alison went missing. Could that mean she will come back one day? As well as that, Claire, the girl Addison tormented, may very well become like Mona and take over Addison’s role as Queen Bee.

* Series/{{BIA}}

* In season 4 of ''Series/StrangerThings'', El is tormented at school and at the roller rink by a mean, blonde, popular girl named Angela.

* Maritza from ''Taina'' was one of these. She wanted to be an actress too, but she was far more ruthless than Taina and Renee. She even refers to herself as an "Evil Diva" -- which you really would agree with. However, there actually ''are'' several moments in which Maritza joins forces with Taina and Renee because they each have a common rival, or they want to make money and she would like to be in on it.

* Christine in ''Series/DeadGorgeous'' is one of the coolest girls in school. Her parents are wealthy and that could be one reason why everyone wants to be her friend. When Rebecca meets Christine and her 'gang' of friends she desperately wants to be accepted. Rebecca will go to extraordinary lengths to be one of Christine's friends which gives Christine a lot of opportunities to take advantage of her.
* Tammy in ''Series/IAmFrankie'' is bossy, manipulative, vindictive, and obsessed with destroying Frankie's reputation to reassert her dominance at Sepulveda High. Over the last few episodes of season one, she began mutating into a LovableAlphaBitch.
* ''Series/TeenWolf'' has Lydia Martin in Season 1. She makes out with the guy her friend's been dating and blackmails Scott into rejoining the lacrosse team by threatening to set Allison up with other lacrosse players, and she does the latter purely so she won't be dating the captain of the losing lacrosse team, because she doesn't date losers. It's gradually deconstructed over the first season when it's revealed that her parents went through a ''nasty'' divorce and her father forced her to choose which parent she wanted to live with. Over Season 2, thanks to being psychologically manipulated into crazier and crazier things, she loses her popularity to the point that no one shows up to her birthday party, which had previously been the "biggest party of the year." By Season 3, she's much sweeter and willing to help.
* Prudence in ''Series/ChillingAdventuresOfSabrina'' is the Alpha Bitch of [[WizardingSchool the Academy of Unseen Arts]], combining this trope with WickedWitch. She [[FantasticRacism hates Sabrina for being half-witch]], but isn't above [[EnemyMine working with her]] from time to time.
* Stassi Schroeder from ''Series/VanderpumpRules'' has no qualms claiming this title, especially in the first season. She gains some humility in later seasons.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone2019'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone2019S2E5AmongTheUntrodden Among the Untrodden]]" Madison is introduced like this, leading a powerful clique of girls as she lords it over the others and bullies them. However, it's later indicated this may be all imagined.
* ''Series/WeirdScience'': Although they only appear in "Teen Lisa", Brenda Tomlinson and Heather are seemingly the resident alpha bitches of Farber High School. Brenda laughs in Gary's face when he asks her out and then proceeds to mock "Larry Wallace" with her friends in Gary's presence. When Lisa and the boys trade places and Lisa becomes a socially awkward teenager, Brenda and Heather take great delight in trying to make her life miserable while pretending to be her friend.
* ''Series/SexLife'': Trina has the mom clique wrapped around her finger and isn't afraid to use deception and out-right lies to keep it that way.
* ''Series/MotherlandFortSalem'': Abigail is the latest scion of the wealthy, illustrious Bellweather family, and is obsessed with living up to her family name, to the point that she tries to get reassigned to a new unit after fearing that Raelle will hold her back (which would mean abandoning Tally in the process). Adler turns her down flat. [[TookALevelInKindness She warms up though]] after getting to know her unit mates better, and befriends both. Later she no longer wants a reassignment, but says she'll ensure that they're up to standard. She eventually considers them both her sisters.
* ''Series/OnceUponATime'': Despite it not being high school, Regina pulls a lot of the same verbal snark tactics.
** In Season 7, Robin confesses to Alice that she was one in Storybrooke's high school.

* The fourth episode of ''Series/SweetVicious'' has Kappa Kappa Phi, an out-of-control sorority, as its [[MonsterOfTheWeek scumbags of the week]], and their leader Chloe Freeman is a textbook example of this. The InitiationCeremony that she and her {{Beta Bitch}}es (both named Lindsay) preside over for pledges consists of cruel and degrading sexual humiliation, [[spoiler:which they secretly film for the purposes of making money through a fetish site]]. Ophelia's mother Bobbi, back when she went to Darlington, was also apparently one of these, as it turns out that she came up with one of the Kappas' hazing rituals herself.

* ''Series/GhostWhisperer'' has an episode called "Mean Ghost" and it focused on a ghost of a cheerleader who died in a boiler room whom Rana accidentally locked her in. Tais likes to cause accidents of cheerleaders and make them suffer in despair.
** In a flashback, a teenage Melinda has horrible days at school when girls called her a freak for seeing ghosts she may not see because it's a gift.

* Cheryl Blossom from ''Series/{{Riverdale}}''. Head cheerleader, twin sister of the captain of the football team and part of the richest family in town. Things get more complicated for her at the start of the series, when her brother is murdered, LovableAlphaBitch Veronica Lodge comes to town and is able to stand toe-to-toe with her (Veronica being a [[FallenPrincess former Alpha Bitch]] herself, and later [[spoiler: her family loses a lot of their wealth and status due to her father being outed as a murdering drug dealer]]. She tends to swing between this trope and LovableAlphaBitch, depending on her [[MoodSwinger mood]] - and [[ItsAllAboutMe what's best for her]].

* In ''Series/{{Hardball}}'', Tiffany Steel-Stone is the reigning queen of the schoolyard, mostly through her fathers' wealth.

* ''Series/Stargirl2020'': Cynthia "Cindy" Burman, aka Shiv, is an Alpha Bitch {{Supervillain}}. Captain of the cheerleading squad, dating the JerkJock, rules the student body with an iron fist, [[SlutShaming slut-shamed]] another girl and destroyed her social life, able to bully ''her own stepmother'' into submission... and also the [[DaddysLittleVillain daughter]] of [[MadScientist Dr. Shiro Ito]] (aka Dragon King), who has given her various genetic and cybernetic enhancements including a HealingFactor and a BladeBelowTheShoulder. Her life goal is to join the [[LegionOfDoom Injustice Society of America]].

* Rhonda from ''Series/SisterSister'' (played by Bianca Lawson) was 'prom queen three years running' and consistently Alpha Bitchy until the 4th season episode 'You are so Beautiful', where the character is played by male actor Larry Wrentz to imply (to a ridiculous degree) that Rhonda had lost her looks over the summer (along with her bad attitude). The character is never heard from again a la ChuckCunninghamSyndrome.

* ''Series/{{CSI}}'' had a very ''dark'' use of the Alpha Bitch in the episode "Unleashed." The episode features a Homecoming Queen who is seeking retribution against Maria, the VictimOfTheWeek. Maria's only crime appears to be that the Homecoming King dumped the Homecoming Queen to be with her, but this doesn't stop the Homecoming Queen from unleashing a truly nasty attack at Maria via the internet. She and her cheerleading squad post obscene messages about Maria online, they upload a viral video of Maria allegedly saying "slut" and "whore," and they even manage to create a website that features Maria's face on a mule, claiming that 'she's a bitch' The website alone garners over 1,000,000 hits. Sadly the pregnant Maria has a mental breakdown from the onslaught of abuse, along with other tragic circumstances in her life, and commits suicide. Fortunately the Las Vegas police are on hand to save and deliver her unborn child through a c-section surgery, and the AlphaBitch and her friends end up going to jail as the CSI team correctly assess they were the ones to blame for Maria's death.
* Brooke [=McQueen=] in ''Series/{{Popular}}'', despite Sam's initial beliefs, is not an Alpha Bitch, but more of a SpoiledSweet. The distinction of Alpha Bitch truly belongs to her nominal second-in-command, the wonderfully Machiavellian Nicole Julian.
** In one episode, Emory Dick's younger sisters, the twins Emily and Emma, ask Nichole and Mary Cherry to train them to be the alpha bitches at their junior high. When the duo later meet the twins, who are wearing [[PrettyInMink black mink jackets]], Mary tells the twins to pet their furs while making their best smug, superior faces.

* Doña Florinda from the Mexican sitcom, ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'', is thought by some to be an older version of this trope.

* Miu Kazashiro from ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' starts out as this trope. But after one of her sidekicks voluntarily turned into a monster and tried to kill her, its revealed that she is a LovableAlphaBitch when she forgives said sidekick. She also befriends the main character and joins his club, while she first thought of him as [[labelnote:'trash']]said in GratuitousEnglish[[/labelnote]] .

* Abigail Armstrong or "Abby" of the Australian produced TV series ''Dance Academy'' is a highly competitive ballerina that will verbally assail any other student that she sees a threat to her goals sometimes outright sabotaging theirs. Despite all of this the other lead characters still put up with her in a somewhat friendly manner which softens Abigail's harsh personality very slightly. One of the leading male characters has an unconditional crush on Abby. No matter how she treats him he still seems to be in love with the alpha bitch. Abigail considers the other lead females to be her "Frienemies".
* ''Series/TheFinder'': Willa went to a beach party with a bunch of rich kids. The girls there in one exchange fit this trope and GirlPosse to a T, being catty and snobbish to Willa's more down to earth style of dress. ...Willa then ''borrowed'' the Alpha's car on her way out of there.
* Dawn Stiles of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' is an Alpha Bitch candidate for Prom Queen. She goes from a normal human to a BodySurf mutant and continues to be more interested in popularity (mainly in how people saw her original self while she was still a normal human) and the prom than in anything else.
* In ''Series/{{GCB}}'', the main character (Amanda) is a former AlphaBitch who moves back to her hometown to rebuild her life and has to deal with the long term effects of her teen behavior.
* In ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'', both Phoebe and Piper had to deal with their high school Alpha Bitches at their respective reunions. Piper's initially didn't remember her, gave her back-handed compliments and ordered her around ''in her own club''. Phoebe's was now married to an old flame and taunted her with an old EmbarrassingNickname. It's also hinted that Prue may have been one in school as well - it's mentioned that she was popular, [[CruelCheerleader head cheerleader]] and strung one of Piper's friends along knowing he had a crush on her.
* ''Series/TwoOfAKind'' introduces Jennifer Dilber whom Mary-Kate describes "has her own website at Prissy.com". She displays a few qualities in her first episode but by her next appearance her and Ashley appear to be good friends.
* In ''Series/TheAmandaShow'' skit "The Girls' Room", Amber is the AlphaBitch of the group. Her slogan is simply "I'm Popular".
* ''Series/HouseOfAnubis'': Each of the characters are given also sympathetic sides and never stay bitchy for too long:
** Patricia at the beginning of season one; she bullies and plays nasty tricks on Nina, assuming she had something to do with the disappearance of her best friend. However, it was a different variation, as the only two people who supported her were Jerome and Alfie, and they only joined her because of the humor value, and not out of actual malice, and they were horrified with everyone else when Patricia locked Nina in the attic. She got better quickly, and soon she and Nina became incredibly close friends and she joined Sibuna.
** Amber while running against Mara in the school election, this time over the affection of Mick. They made up quickly enough when Amber managed to get over Mick and supported Mara in getting with him.
** Joy in season two when she rivals Nina for Fabian's attentions. However, nobody supports her in her worst actions, not even Patricia. She also manages to be sympathetic, having deep insecurities and honestly feeling replaced by Nina since she was gone the year before. In the end, she joins Sibuna to help Nina, and gets over her meaner traits.

* In ''Series/EmilyOwensMD'', Cassandra was a gorgeous, popular high school bitch who tormented Emily. They both happen to be interns at the same hospital and Emily soon realizes that high school and adult life are not that different.
* Lauren in ''Series/FakingIt''. However, in her high school, where the most popular guy in school is gay, that's actually a ''detriment'' to her social status.
* Chanel in the upcoming ''[[Series/ScreamQueens2015 Scream Queens]]''. From the teasers alone, it can be gathered that she's named after a line of expensive handbags, and in early promos the name of her sorority was literally [[CountryMatters KNT]] (it was later [[{{Bowdlerise}} changed to KKT]]), which leaves little guess as to what sort of character she's supposed to be.
* Nina Patterson in the TV adaptation of ''Series/{{Scream}}''. In the eight minutes we get to know her, she outs a female classmate as a lesbian by uploading a video of her making out with another girl, and refers to it as "a time-honored enforcement of [[PopularityFoodChain the food chain]]". By the time Ghostface arrives, you can't help but root for him to kill her.
* In ''Series/NightAndDay'', Kate Ellis and Jane Harper both embody this at times, but the show is also careful to depict their vulnerable, human sides. Parallels between the two girls are drawn in an episode focusing on Kate’s birthday, which mirrors the show’s first episode (centred on Jane’s birthday) in several respects – and even features Kate, who has never met Jane, being berated by her in a daydream sequence.
* Blair Waldorf in ''Series/GossipGirl'' as a queen bee high school junior/senior at ages 17-19 in seasons 1-2.

* ''Series/ReadyOrNot'': Older classmate Chrissy is the stereotypical popular, pretty and mean girl who always picks on Busy and Amanda. Amanda has fallen into InWithTheInCrowd trope a couple of times; one episode has her hanging out with Chrissy and believing they were getting close, only for Chrissy to use her to get a big assignment completed and manipulate her into shoplifting and blackmailing her to keep quiet.

* Maritza from ''Taina'' was one of these. She wanted to be an actress too, but she was far more ruthless than Taina and Renee. She even refers to herself as an "Evil Diva" -- which you really would agree with. However, there actually ''are'' several moments in which Maritza joins forces with Taina and Renee because they each have a common rival, or they want to make money and she would like to be in on it.
* ''Series/FamilyMatters'': Cassie Lynn Nubbles, a vain and mean-spirited girl who started off as both head cheerleader and student body president. As Steve Urkel put it, she was "the poster child for useless people": she refused to cheer on players for sports that she found boring and did nothing of significance as student body president.
* ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks''
** Vicki Appleby is initially depicted as one of these, but it's subverted in "Smooching and Mooching", when she opens up to Bill in a TenMinutesInTheCloset session and becomes a bit of a DefrostingIceQueen.
** Cindy Sanders is originally set up as the sweet GirlNextDoor, but once she and Sam finally get together, she turns into a shallow, vapid, Republican bitch.
** One of the episodes features a transfer student who befriends the Geeks, who try to keep her away from the popular crowd in the fear that she'll become one of these. It doesn't work, and she joins the popular crowd -- but later episodes reveal that, despite what the Geeks fear, she's still friendly towards them.
* Twist from ''Series/{{Spaced}}'', a post-high-school version. Twist is attractive and fashionable, but she works in a dry cleaners and seems to have only one "friend", Daisy, whom she showers with back-handed compliments. Daisy doesn't seem to notice that Twist is an awful friend until the end of the show.
* ''Series/{{Glee}}''
** Quinn starts out as this, and her only subversion is that she's also deeply religious and president of the celibacy club. She quickly turns into a FallenPrincess when she reveals that she's pregnant and is kicked off the cheerleading squad.
** Her former minion Santana thus becomes the new Alpha Bitch. Santana is however a deconstruction of the trope. As she finds out, for all her bitchiness towards everyone, nobody save Britanny likes her. Also, her cruelty comes from her inner torment over [[spoiler:being a lesbian who is in love with her best friend]].
** Meanwhile, Terri is heavily implied to be a former Alpha Bitch and now has an unhappy adulthood because of it.
** Oddly enough, although Rachel is nominally the heroine of ''Glee'' and (at least in season 1) Quinn's antagonist, within the glee club itself, ''she'' actually functions as the Alpha Bitch due to her unrelenting tendency to belittle, disregard, and demean the other members of the club unless forced to behave otherwise (she calls Kurt and Mercedes 'lesser glee clubbers' to their faces, and tells Tina and Mike that if a potential new recruit can dance, their contribution to the club will be 'even more insignificant than it already is', in quick succession in 2x01, and then ''sends her new rival to a crackhouse instead of the audition''). Her specialty is sweetly offering a brutal putdown and justifying it as 'honesty'. While she gets brought down to earth relatively frequently, it never seems to stick.
** Season 4 introduces Kitty, basically Quinn 2.0 minus the redeeming qualities.
** Season 5 introduces Bree. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Kitty thinks she's a "vile human being."]]
* On ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'', there are ''two competing'' characters with AlphaBitch qualities. Marie, the family matriarch has basically been running the family for decades by guilt-tripping them into doing her bidding. Debra, Marie's daughter-in-law tries to assert herself against Marie, initially in a reasonable way but later on by adopting AlphaBitch qualities herself. Marie's ability to maintain her position as the senior AlphaBitch causes junior AlphaBitch Debra to take out her frustrations by asserting herself as the dictator of her own household, often beating or insulting her husband Ray when he attempts to rebel.
* ''Series/GilmoreGirls''
** Subverted: Paris Geller bullies Rory (and almost everyone else) mostly out of insecurity, has two sidekicks who are taller than she is, but isn't popular and is respected only for her intelligence and dedication. She also gets brought down to earth in later seasons.
** Played straight with Francine "Francie" Jarvis, leader of the Puffs, Chilton's "secret" sorority, and senior class president in season 3, who pits her two enemies, Rory and Paris, against each other and subtly manipulates the student council for personal gains.

* ''Series/TheNakedBrothersBand'' has one episode where Nat is trying to work up the nerves to kiss Rosalina. A girl (who, as she often says, is the most popular girl in their school) shows up to watch them do a music video, and makes fun of Nat because he's unable to do it. Rosalina tells the girl off in front of both her and her posse. The girl's (rather flustered) response is "Y-You can't talk to me like that! I'm the most popular girl in school!" Rosalina responds with a loud "I DON'T CARE!"

* The BBC TV series ''Series/NewTricks'' has an episode where Detective Superintendent Sandra Pulman was afraid to go to her High School re-union, eventually revealing that it was because she was the school Alpha Bitch. A colleague persuaded her to go, assuring her that people forget these things over the years. However, when she arrived, someone had drawn a devil's horns & beard in red lipstick on her photo in the lobby and she left in a hurry!

* A truly monstrous Alpha Bitch is the VictimOfTheWeek in the ''Series/CSIMiami'' episode "Stoned Cold". She ends up being stoned to death by ''[[spoiler:the parents of]]'' the people she tormented.
* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'': a girl named Libby was pretty nasty: [[spoiler: she pretended to make friends with homely girls, dolled them up, had her boyfriend take their virginity, wrote all about it online, and gave the girls big necklaces so everyone would know. The sister of one of her victims strangled her, and then part of her house fell on her. Incidentally, that was the second time that week the killer on a ''CSI'' show said "I killed [them] and I'm not sorry." (The other time was on ''CSI'' where a kid shot his abusive dad.)]]

* ''Series/{{Community}}'' has Megan, played by guest star Music/HilaryDuff in [[Recap/CommunityS2E07AerodynamicsOfGender one episode]]. Subverted when Britta, Annie and Shirley turn Abed into one to counter them. Re-verted when Britta, Annie and Shirley become Alpha Bitches themselves, which leads to Abed insulting them, then getting out of control and insulting everyone at Greendale.

* ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration'':
** Paige Michalchuk is the head cheerleader (who takes credit for other girls' work), and she's a horrendous snob toward anyone less popular than herself. But when school is out, she has to work a minimum-wage job. She becomes a LovableAlphaBitch from season 2 onwards. While she had a lot of moments setting this trope up, they peppered in PetTheDog moments to keep her from being irredeemable, mostly with Spinner, Alex, and J.T.
** Her replacement after she's graduated is Holly J., who followed this to a T. Rich, pretty, snobbish beyond logic and reason, and mercilessly cruel. However, the trope is subverted as it turns out that the school actually hates her guts. Then, she becomes poor and a FallenPrincess. Before her fall, they gave her a lot of IceQueen moments, showing that a lot of her issues were a poor role model at home (her sister, Heather Sinclair).
** Holly J.'s replacements are Katie and Marisol. Marisol is this trope played straight, Katie is friendlier but a bit of an IceQueen and non-confrontational and will usually go with Marisol's plans. More work was put into keeping Katie friendly than Marisol, who has developed a [[TheScrappy reputation]] with the fandom.
** In season 13, we meet Zoe who develops this reputation quick, including scaring the entire cheerleading team into taking nude photos for money.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** Cordelia Chase started out as this kind of character and then evolved into a LovableAlphaBitch, before rapidly becoming the FallenPrincess.
** Her sidekick Harmony proceeded to take this position up until being killed and turned into a vampire; then, she became the IneffectualSympatheticVillain.
** Buffy herself started out as the Alpha Bitch of Hemery High in the original movie (or as a {{Deconstruction}} of the AB, anyway).
* Stephanie Kaye from the 1980s ''Series/DegrassiJuniorHigh'' is a rare case where the Alpha Bitch is one of the protagonists. As a result, she has frequent PetTheDog moments in between her bullying.
* In ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', Jackie is a stereotypical example of this trope (although when ''her'' karmic retribution comes, it's a bit more severe than growing up to lead an unfulfilled life). The second season has Debbie, who is a copy of Jackie right down to being the blondr head cheerleader.
* Although her school life isn't gone into in much detail in ''Series/ModernFamily'', it's implied Haley Dunphy was probably this in high school, what with her beauty, popularity, general vapidity, and snarky putdowns.
* Missy Meany in ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'' -- an Alpha Bitch with ThemeNaming. While she’s stil a Bitch in Season 3, the Alpha part is de-emphasized.
** One of the teachers, Mr. Monroe, admits to having been a male example in his younger days, stating that he "ruled the hallways with his biting wit and vicious sarcasm". Being the NiceGuy he is now, [[IHatePastMe he deeply regrets this]].

* ''Series/TheSecretWorldOfAlexMack''
** When the series started, the Alpha Bitch was a girl named Jessica ([[TheDanza played by Jessica Alba]]), who would mock and pick on Alex. However, she disappeared after a few episodes because she got a more prominent role in the remake of ''Series/{{Flipper}}'', and was replaced by a similar character named Kelly.
** A one-shot character who also fit this type was also named Libby, a year before ''Sabrina''. The FreudianExcuse was somewhat subverted; Libby claimed that she has to worry about being popular, and that she really admires Alex, but she was ''[[ManipulativeBastard manipulating]]'' Alex into feeling sympathy for her, and she wasn't really sensitive or sympathetic at all.
* ''Series/ColdCase''
** The killer in the episode "Stand Up and Holler" was one of these. In the present day, she had two failed marriages (and was working on her third) and was desperately clinging to her glory days when she was the most popular girl in school.
** Another episode has a former Alpha Bitch from the Fifties, who became caught up in second-wave feminism and eventually became a teacher. Her remorse over her treatment of the victim causes her to give the team a vital clue.
** "Sleepover" revolved around a [[TitleDrop sleepover]] at the house of a young Alpha Bitch who poached the victim's best friend into her girl posse. She was also a CreepyChild who killed the family pet. Her parents' form of discipline was disturbing to put it nicely.

* Subverted in ''Series/ThirtyRock'', where Liz Lemon dreads meeting the Alpha Bitch at her ClassReunion. As it turns out, that school's Alpha Bitch was, in fact, a nice popular girl, whereas all of her classmates regarded Liz as a [[SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp bully]] because of her cruel putdowns.

* Banning Miller in the ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' episode "Shindig" definitely qualifies, complete with posse, and tries to cut Kaylee down over her store bought dress.
-->'''Kaylee:''' Isn't this party great? Everything's so fancy! And they have some kind of hot cheese over there.\\
'''Banning Miller:''' I liked it better last year.\\
'''Kaylee:''' Really? What did they have last year?\\
'''Banning's friend:''' Standards!
** Turned around moment later, when a kindly gentleman steps in and verbally takes Banning down a notch or two, which shifts the dynamic, and Kaylee soon becomes the belle of the ball.
