MSNBC's Top 5 Bad Girls of TV: Cordelia mention

Our Top Favorite TV Bad Girls

Mean Girls don’t get any meaner than Cordelia, who ruled Sunnydale High School with a mouthful of blinding teeth and a head full of withering put-downs. (Not for nothing did the license plate on her bitch-red car read “Queen C.”) With a gaggle of sycophants trailing her every step, she terrorized boys and girls alike, demanding on one occasion, “Excuse me, who gave you permission to exist?” Even her dates weren’t immune to her disdain, especially not Xander, who seemed to get an equal amount of derision before and after they started kissing on a regular basis. Eventually, Cordy softened from narcissistic holy terror into a snarky, gently self-centered sidekick, moved to L.A. and became a genuinely sympathetic character on “Angel.” But in her heyday, she would have eaten “Gossip Girl’s” Blair Waldorf for breakfast and spit out the gristle for lunch.

Top 5 TV Bad Girls:
1. Amanda Woodward (“Melrose Place”)
2.Alexis Carrington (“Dynasty”)
3.Cordelia Chase (“Buffy The Vampire Slayer”)
4.Joy Darville Hickey Turner (“My Name Is Earl”)
5.Janice Soprano (“The Sopranos”)

Cordy's also #3 in the poll beneath the story. Don't forget to vote!

These polls always forget Nicole Julian. I only saw Popular a couple of times, but even so, Nicole made an impression.

I couldn't agree more. I just finished rewatching my S1 and S2 of Popular. Some of the things Nicole did really do rival Alexis Carrington. She was just as ruthless and power-mad.

They really put Joy on that list? Huh.

In the top three. That's our girl!

I was wondering where Megan Mullally's 'Karen Walker' was in the poll and after I voted I see that she is one of the top vote-getters. Another of my favorite "baddies" with a heart of gold.
