Bianca Golden (born October 14, 1988) is an American fashion model. She is best known for being a contestant on cycle 9 of ANTM in 2007, where she was the tenth girl eliminated and placed fourth. She later competed on the spin-off series Modelville, where she placed fourth again. She was on the All-Stars cycle in 2011, where she tied for eighth place with Kayla Ferrel.

Early Life

Golden attended Hillcrest High School in Queens New York. She started to go to fashion castings when she was thirteen.

ANTM

Cycle 9

Golden was the second contestant selected to be part of the finalists. She was known for being the main villain of the cycle, clashing with Ebony, Lisa, Saleisha, Chantal and Heather (whom she was perceived as a bully towards) over the first three weeks. She landed in the bottom two at the second panel, but was saved over Kimberly.

She was originally supposed to receive a long blonde weave for her make-over, but due to her hair being damaged her head was shaved, a look that was praised among the fandom.

She revealed that she had a fear of heights, which handicapped her in both the rock climbing and gargoyle photoshoots as well as the first challenge in China.

After being criticized repeatedly, she studied fashion magazines to learn how to smile with her eyes and managed to impress the judges on her recyclable materials photoshoot, where she portrayed oil. She won the first call-out in the panel before overseas, and later won the go-sees challenge. Despite a heartfelt speech about her improvement despite her lack of natural model potential, she was sent home, giving a teary farewell interview that redeemed her in the fans' eyes.

Modelville

Bianca was one of five alum selected for the spin-off series within The Tyra Banks Show. In the first episode she discusses getting into a highly publicized fight with Nikki Blonsky at the Providenciales International Airport in Turks and Caicos. She also was known for clashing with Renee, judging her moms parenting skills. She was the first girl eliminated in the grand finale.

Cycle 17: All-Stars

In the premiere, Bianca was upset when Bre didn't tell her she was cast on All-Stars with her, because they were roommates. Bianca said the argument was nothing. She also expressed her hatred of Camille when she entered the house, and was worried that she was going to hug her.

She was involved in a rivalry with Shannon and Lisa. In episode five, Shannon miscalculated the phone time schedule for each girl and Bianca addressed this to her, causing Shannon to cry. Lisa stepped in to defend Shannon, angering Bianca further. They also fought again after the Kardashian runway show, with Bre blocking Bianca from the two. Bianca constantly dubbed Shannon "The Crying Christian" throughout.

In episode seven, Bianca complained that the challenge involved posing in a bath tub. She stated that Beyoncé would never pose in one. She was eliminated with Kayla because of her bad attitude.
