OK it's not that I dislike him... the character himself is a little bit annoying... but my big issue is the fact that he came in, half-way through Season 9, and is all of a sudden the flipping lead! He's a rookie CSI in a suit and older than everybody else... Cath is supervisor, and has been senior to the rest of the cast since the first episode... she deserves to be the lead of the show now... and I hate that!
