'''Banning Miller:''' Standards!

** {{Downplayed}} with Natalia, she acts like this even more than Isabela but being one of her best friend and hanging out with the popular clique to stay popular makes her more of a BetaBitch. Though after her secret was revealed, she lost her popularity like Isabela.

* ''Series/MotherlandFortSalem'': Abigail is the latest scion of the 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. [[CharacterDevelopment 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 they're up to standard.

* ''Series/ProvenInnocent'': Heather Husband, one of Maddie's old classmates, still refuses to believe that she and her brother Levi are innocent, and in the first episode, she and her husband Brian decide to frame Levi for assault so that he'll lose his job and get sent back to jail.

** Mandy McDaniels, Dawn’s arch-rival from ''Series/KirbyBuckets''. Dawn herself has some elements of this, but lacks the popularity.

* Missy Meany in ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'' -- an Alpha Bitch with ThemeNaming.

* ''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 1,00,000 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.

* ''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/{{ShakeItUp}}'': Candy Chow is the AlphaBitch cheerleader. Subverted with Gunther and Tinka who only act as Alpha Bitches to Rocky and [=CeCe=].

** 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. Paige became a subversion of this trope. 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.

** And ''her'' 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.
** Then in season 13, we meet Zoe who develops this reputation quick, including scaring the entire cheerleading team into taking nude photos for money.

* Milton Armatige (and later, Chatworth Osbourne Jr.) are male example of this trope to the main character in ''Series/TheManyLovesOfDobieGillis''. The female version of this is Thalia Menniger, who is also the Veronica to Zelda Gilroy's Betty.

* ''Bad Girls Club'': A bunch of 20-something girls get drunk in a mansion and do awful things to each other. Social dominance is the central theme and drama the thesis.
** The name itself is BAD GIRLS CLUB.

** ''Series/{{Shake It Up}}'': Candy Chow is the AlphaBitch cheerleader. Subverted with Gunther and Tinka who only act as Alpha Bitches to Rocky and [=CeCe=].

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': The Waif's treatment of Arya in "High Sparrow" has a strong "Picking On the New Kid" vibe.

* Chelsea Breur in ''Series/NaturallySadie''. Replaced in second season by Arden Alcot.

* Season one of ''The Sleepover Club'' had Sara Tiara, and season two had Krystal Beasley.
* Pinky (played by Creator/JennetteMcCurdy), on ''Series/TrueJacksonVP''.
* May Phelps (played by Laura Aikman) on ''Series/{{Casualty}}'', who also has elements of the DefrostingIceQueen trope too.

* ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'' had Jessica Wallace.

* Taylor from ''Series/CaitlinsWay'', although every once in a while she and Caitlin managed to actually get along.
* ''Series/SouthOfNowhere'' had Madison.

* ''Series/RaisingHope'': Virginia's cousin Delilah is an Alpha Bitch who never grew out of it.
* Sadie in ''Series/{{Awkward}}'', as well as Becca, who is head of the "Asian Mafia".

* ''Series/HouseOfAnubis'': No real straight examples, because each of the characters are given sympathetic sides and never stay bitchy for too long; however, some characters did gain some shades of this trope.
** Patricia fell into this at the beginning of season one; she bullied and played 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 also had shades of this 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 also had shades of this in season two when she rivaled Nina for Fabian's attentions. However, nobody supported her in her worst actions, not even Patricia. She also managed to be sympathetic, having deep insecurities and honestly feeling replaced by Nina since she had been gone the year before. In the end, she joined Sibuna to help Nina, and got over her meaner traits.
* In ''Series/MyMadFatDiary'', Chloe is one, in contrast to the main character Rae Earl.

* Maddie Van Pelt from ''Series/EveryWitchWay'' until she gets a HeelFaceTurn.

* Sage from ''Series/KnightSquad'' is the aggressive version.

* ''Series/ProvenInnocent'': Heather Husband, one of Maddie's old classmates, still refuses to believe that she and her brother Levi are innocent, and in the first episode, she and her husband Brian decide to frame Levi for assault so that he'll lose his job and get sent back to jail.

* In ''Series/{{Charmed}}'', 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, [[TheCheerleader head cheerleader]] and strung one of Piper's friends along knowing he had a crush on her.

* ''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/TheVampireDiaries'':
** Caroline initially appears to be one of these, but her image is gradually softened as the show goes on.
** Rebekah.

** Paige Michalchuk is, strangely, a RichBitch who isn't that rich. She's 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. Paige became a subversion of this trope. 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.

* Sage from ''Series/KnightSquad'' is the aggressive version.

* Stassi Schroeder from ''Series/VanderpumpRules'' has no qualms claiming this title, especially in the first season. She gains some humility in later seasons.

* 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.

* ''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 gets a minor CrowningMomentOfAwesome when she 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!"

* ''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.
