Angela Anderson

Angela Anderson, from San Diego, CA, was a contestant on Season One of Scream Queens. She was known for hiding in the background. She placed 4th in Season One.

Episode 1
In the opening mini challenge where the girls had to convince a homicidal maniac not to kill them, Angela gave an average performance, and commented that Lina "looked crazy". In Homa's class, the girls had to be seductive while eating fruit. Angela commented, "I'm a very sexual person, and so I definitely went for a banana." However when Homa explained he wanted seductive and not sexual, Angela proceeded to give another average performance.

When the girls were notified about the director's challenge via a note under a pile of live snakes, Angela was the only one not to run away screaming, and in fact picked up and held one of the snakes. While acting in a bathtub for the director's challenge, Angela yet again gave an average performance. Behind the scenes, Angela and Lina laughed at and commented on Kylah's poor performance. Angela was not summoned to the Grand Ballroom.

Episode 2
Angela and the other girls were shocked that Jo-Anne went home in lieu of Kylah. Michelle, Kylah, Angela, and Lina christened themselves the "queen bitches" while designating Marissa, Lindsay, and Sarah the "more homely girls" and the "girls who wouldn't have been popular in high school". They talked about how they didn't think Sarah deserved the previous episode's Leading Lady.

For the mini challenge, the girls were given 15 minutes to dress themselves up and impress a casting director. While getting ready, Michelle and Angela agreed that if they, Kylah, or Lina did not win the competition, it must be rigged. Angela also commented on Marissa's outfit, saying that "it definitely looked like her thespian side was coming out" and that she should stick to theatre. Angela spoke to the casting director about how she had the horror film star look, to which the casting director agreed, also mentioning that Angela did a good job of separating herself from the other girls. When Lindsay and Marissa were sent for makeovers, the latter returned with a black choppy haircut, and Angela stated she was "pissed" because she was no longer the only one who had that look.

In Homa's class, Angela gave an average performance. In the director's challenge of a horror photoshoot, Angela was given the theme of "Monster's Wedding". She gave a good performance, posing smiling in a wedding dress while holding a severed hand. However some of the other girls, particularly Lina, were annoyed at how apparently easy Angela's theme was. Angela was not summoned to the Grand Ballroom.

Episode 3
In the mini challenge involving jumping out a window, Angela gave an average performance. She again commented on Marissa's acting being too theatrical and coming off as "fake and very unbelievable". Sarah commented that Angela could have gone further with her performance. When the girls were treated to a night out, Angela got very drunk very quickly and ended the night crying in Lina's lap, but none of the other girls knew what she was upset about.

In Homa's class involving stunt and fight training, Angela was paired up with Marissa and gave an average performance. In the director's challenge involving the stunts they'd learned, Angela gave a good performance, and also christened Michelle's "power stance" as a "freaking power dump". Angela was not summoned to the Grand Ballroom.

Episode 4
Angela voiced her frustration that she hadn't yet been in the Grand Ballroom and therefore had not had any direct feedback from the judges. In the mini challenge involving playing a head in a horror-comedy scene, Angela gave a good performance with a commitment to the seriousness of the scene but a bit too much over-acting. In Homa's class where the girls learnt about different types of screaming, Angela gave a good performance with a scream depicting being in an elevator that dropped, but again expressed her frustration when Homa provided no feedback.

For the director's challenge, the girls auditioned for roles in a trailer for Reform School Zombie Squad. Angela auditioned for Dana, the psycho, because she wanted to "stand out", but gave a poor audition that James called "very weird". Ultimately Angela was cast as Vanessa, a cat burglar who made out with Lina's character, which Angela said she had absolutely no problem with. She gave a good performance but still struggled to fully commit.

Angela was called to the Grand Ballroom alongside just Lina, where they were named the bottom two. The judges mentioned that they were concerned that Angela had failed to make an impression and had been fading into the background. James said she had good moments but did not seem to commit fully to her acting. In the end, Angela was given a callback and Lina got the Axe.

Episode 5
In the mini challenge, the girls had to perform a vengeance monologue in a pool of blood. Angela invoked her emotions with thoughts of her absent father and gave a great performance. Despite not winning the challenge, Shawnee personally commended Angela, and Tanedra chose Angela as her acting partner for the director's challenge. Homa's class, set in a morgue, had the girls spend time in body drawers to experience the feeling of death, before emotionally reading out nursery rhymes. Angela gave another good performance.

The director's challenge involved the pairs of girls performing a scene in a tent filled with cockroaches. Tanedra and Angela worked well together, with Tanedra helping Angela get through her immense fear of bugs. For the first time, all six remaining girls were summoned to the Grand Ballroom. James mentioned that Angela still had a lot of improvement to go, but that his happiest moment so far on the show was when Angela performed her scene with Tanedra. Homa agreed that Angela had improved greatly. Ultimately she was given a callback.

Episode 6
In the mini challenge, Angela gave a decent performance about becoming possessed by the Devil. Angela expressed concern for Lindsay's struggles with anxiety and self-esteem. The weekly exercise in Homa's class intended for the girls to act as each other and expose their weaknesses. Angela was paired with Lindsay, and they were ultimately the only ones who properly understood the exercise. Lindsay exposed Angela's inability to be emotionally vulnerable while Angela touched on Lindsay's lack of self-confidence. They both agreed that they enjoyed and learned a lot from the exercise.

The director's challenge saw the girls becoming vampires and acting alongside Michael Rooker. Angela gave a great performance while committing to an accent and was convinced she would win Leading Lady. She was summoned to the Grand Ballroom and was praised by the judges, but was ultimately only given a callback, with the judges telling the girls to let Michelle know she had won Leading Lady.

Episode 7
As soon as the girls returned from the Grand Ballroom and Lindsay informed Michelle of her Leading Lady win, Angela expressed her disappointment that Michelle won over her. In the mini challenge, each girl was given a camera and had to film themselves alone. Angela's scenario was that she was being stalked through the forest by an alien. She produced a good performance. In Homa's class, the girls had to act against a dummy. Angela struggled to control her emotions and at the end of the class, had an emotional breakdown about Michelle's win over her in the previous episode.

The director's challenge involved the girls acting opposite themselves via a green screen and performing the good and evil sides of the same character. Angela gave an average performance and once again struggled to express her vulnerability. Behind the scenes, Lindsay, Angela, and Tanedra bonded over wanting to beat Michelle due to her inflated ego. All four girls were summoned to the Grand Ballroom. James commented that Angela's scene was weak and that she didn't trust herself enough to access the necessary emotions. Ultimately Angela was placed in the bottom two alongside Tanedra, and Angela got the Axe.
