The women of "CSI": who's the hottest?When I did a post on women who were turning 50 in 2008, I was dismayed to find few previous AfterEllen.com mentions of one of those women, Marg Helgenberger.
As it turns out, we have not been too attentive of CSI, in general. I have to confess, I don't watch any of the CSI shows regularly. I thought it was because of the goriness, but my love of all things Dexter sort of blew that theory out of the water. I have, however, always been appreciative of the CSI casting directors' taste in women. Despite the fact that they let my favorite investigator go.
Now, research has confirmed that, indeed, the women of CSI are hot. Duh. I won't go into the particulars of the survey because, frankly, it's lame. But, in one of the questions, researchers asked men which of three CSI women they'd most like to romance: Calleigh Duquesne (Emily Procter) of CSI: Miami, Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) of the original CSI or Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes) of CSI: New York. The results? Calleigh/Emily won, with 37 percent of the vote.
Next was Catherine/Marg with 34 percent.
Bonasera/Kanakaredes was third with 27 percent.
Well, OK. Although I personally have never seen the attraction of Kanakaredes (I'm a little afraid of her hair), I can live with the ranking. But why just those three? I can think of four other hot women on the various incarnations of CSI — and I'm not even a die-hard fan. Sofia Curtis (Louise Lombard), for example.
Or the very epitome of hotness, Alexx Woods (Khandi Alexander).
And what about Linsday Monroe (Anna Belknap)?
Wendy Simms (Liz Vassey) deserves a spot, too, although I'm not crazy about Simms. I liked Vassey better on The Tick. (Although she should've been American Maid, not Captain Liberty. The real Tick knew nothing of this Captain Liberty person. But I digress.)
Of course, no research is as valid as what we do right here at AfterEllen.com. So let's do a study of our own. Who's the hottest woman of CSI? Which one would you like to be with in, you know, that special way? Oh, and Sara Sidle is not eligible. That just wouldn't be fair. Submitted by on March 14, 2008 - 10:55am. |

Marg gets my vote
Marg - hands down.
I'm a regular viewer of CSI: Las Vegas (aka the Original), and Marg is by far the hottest. Those eyes, voice, cleavage....the total package. And, she is more beautiful now than she was on China Beach - talk about aging well. I think Karmen said it well during an episode of WGN - she can excavate my cadaver anytime (I'm paraphrasing).
Patient: There's like this longing ... this pull. I mean, does that make me, you know, like, some kind of...?
Maeby: Homosexual.
Tobias: Maeby, please. She's right, though, you probably are a homosexual.Not elegible!!!???
SARA!

Sofia
Back away from the hairspray!
Whoa! Personally, I find Liz Vassey's hair here a lot more frightening than Melina Kanakaredes'. What's going on there?! I'd have to go with Kanakaredes for hotness too as I've loved her since she played the deliciously evil Victoria in Due South. For secondary characters I liked Maxine Valera in CSI Miami back when I used to watch it: she's cute as a button and has always pinged for me which never hurts.
Ahhh Melina
When I think of Melina Kanakaredes, the first thing that always comes to mind is her in the movie, The Long Kiss Goodnight.
Well you know who gets my vote...
Liz Vassey!! The Foxy Liz is the total package -- hot, funny and willing to take one for the team. She was my Nikki in the most scene never broadcast pilot "Nikki & Nora" where she solved crimes and smoked up the screen with my other go to girl, Christina Cox.
Liz is a great addition to CSI -- more please.
And here's some inside scoop, Liz and Christina are showing up on 3Way doing a send up of Nikki & Nora... Stay tuned.
Do what you love, with those you love.

Nikki & Nora
Oh bless you YouTube for allowing me to watch my favorite unaired pilot with obssesive fangirl glee! And they are going to be 3Way? Cool ... I'm so there!
P.S. Did anyone else catch the episode of the Sharon Osborne show where Ms. Alexander seemed to be hitting on Ms. Osborne? That was pretty wild. Not that it matters much as her previous acting stints (ER, The Corner) show that outside of the contraints of this show, she's really a marvelous actor.
Thanks for the heads up!

Not fair to leave Sara
Not fair to leave Sara Sidle out, but ok, technically she's no more CSI so I can live with that ;)
Anyway, I totally go for Sofia Curtis. She's the personification of hotness. My second choice would be Stella Bonasera. She's a great character.
Linsday Monroe...
does it for me. Sweet and tough. Yummy!
Sofia Curtis
Marg, without a doubt
No Sara?!
i say sara sidle always and
No question...
Louise Lombard is hawt all the way!!!
Loves how she wears a button down with pants and have guns on her waist and oohh when she wears the sunglasses...She's so pretty! Love her straight blonde hair too, sometimes very cute with pony tail...ah, I want her!!
She deserves more attention, please!
oh Sofia Curtis
Totally Sofia Curtis. She looks so hot with the gun.
Sadly, she's off the show now. She got offered her own pilot show elsewhere.
Sofia Curtis
Gosh! Sara deserves the nomination!
Easy!
After Sara, Sofia Curtis (Louise Lombard), all the way!
That woman is HOT!

anybody else.-- Ani Difranco
We want...
Sara Sidle dammit!!! But, ok...I'll have to just go with Wendy Simms. (like that's such a terrible alternative...NOT!) ;D
So much pretty
No Sara? Okay then I'd like Sofia, Lindsay, Stella and Wendy please.
And no, I can't narrow it down to less people.
liz vassey
Oooh...
"Think Sideways"
Khandi
Calleigh
Calleigh Duquesne is so hot on CSI:Miami. Plus her character is very interesting. Her knowledge of firearms is very sexy.
Emily procter (Calleigh) is
afraid of the competition
Well...
I'm such a CSI-whore. When
I'm such a CSI-whore. When I first started watching, I fell in love with Sara. Then, when the third season started, I felt my attention being pulled towards the unbelievably beautiful Marg Helgenberger (who is still hot, but now way too botoxed for my taste). Then Sofia arrived. Because I was still in denial, I was a Grissom/Sara-shipper, so I had to hate Sofia. And then I figured out the whole gay thing, which included fanfic. So all of a sudden I loved Sofia, she became my favorite character (so badass, so hot, SO gay) and I wanted her and Sara to hook up. And I wanted that till the day she left (where did she even go?). So now I'm back to Cath and Wendy. But damn, I miss those two.
Oh, and I only watch the original CSI, but I've seen a couple of episodes from CSI: Miami and although Calleigh Duquesne is sexy, her voice annoys the hell out of me. I don't know why.
I'm such a CSI-whore I
I'm such a CSI-whore
I am totally with you on this statement =) I only watched the "original" Vegas show and first drooled over Sara, then finding fanfic began drooling over Cath and Sara =) Then Sofia...then Wendy...omg.
So ok, Sara is my first choice, and my second choice would be Sara and Catherine together...check please!
Im a Calleigh girl all the
SARA
Aiden Burn
I'm a huge fan of Sara but must admit I LOVED Aiden Burn in the first season of New York. Vanessa Ferlito is so hot!! Such a shame she was only on for one season.
She is not eligible and yet she still gets my vote.
Sarah Sidle!!!
Fine, if I play by the rules, it's a tie!
Calleigh Duquesne and Lindsay Monroe.
That is, if CSI still existed and wasn't dead to me now.
Thanks for even inviting me to the party.
Hi It's Liz. Fourth picture down: black dress, big hair. My dear friend, Nancylee, wrote me telling me that I was included in this poll. First of all, thanks for even putting me on a list with those other women....I'm way flattered. I'm a little sorry that the picture posted is the one taken after I was brutally attacked by a straightening iron and a can of Aqua net, as it naturally stirs up memories of such a traumatic incident in my life, but after some therapy and a good conditioner I feel that I've taken some baby steps toward recovery. Second, my vote is for Sofia. Not only is she hot as hell, but I can tell you from personal experience that she's as nice as she as gorgeous. Third, I just wanted to thank AfterEllen for being such a huge supporter of "Nikki and Nora", Nancylee Myatt, and "3Way". Three of my most favorite things. Also: huge fan of the site. Thanks again.
ps Sara really should be included, though. I'm just sayin'...........
Really?
really? are you liz, liz?
LIZ??!!
Jump back!! Unbelievable!!! You are the one who is hot as hell!! And Sofia may be nice and gorgeous and all...but, you are still my pick (and must be pretty nice yourself, you're so modest). And Sara should be included....you are right about that also. We are so glad to see you here and included on the list! And we want "Nikki and Nora"! Can't wait to see you on 3Way! We <3 Nancylee! ;-)
I must confess
I can't let this topic go by without adding
Jorja Fox...
...all the way.
Hottest. Woman. Alive.
And no, I don't care if she's "ineligible".
She was the reason I started watching CSI. I became a fan of some of the other actors and the show as a whole along the way, but I still stopped watching when she left.
Oh and did I mention she's the hottest woman alive? I did? Well, it bears repeating.
I loved Emily Procter on The West Wing (it was the accent that got me), but not on CSI: Miami.
I concur...
Jorja IS the hottest woman on the planet. I haven't intentionally stopped watching because she left, the episode directly after was actually quite good, but I have to admit I'm not so concerned about it anymore. Missing CSI used to be a huge thing for me, but these days it's more, "Huh. Missed CSI. Oh well..."
So I'd like to register that my vote would be for Sara/Jorja were she not ineligible, but I get it. She'd win by a landslide. What is it about her that us ladies can't resist? My (straight) best friend doesn't understand the fascination at all.
With Jorja ineligible, I'm torn. I love Marg, and she's even more beautiful in person (taller than I expected too) but I've recently developed a healthy lust for Louise Lombard. And they're both women with guns, so I can't even decide using that. I suppose I'll have to go with the loyal vote and go for Marg...
SARA
No Sara? Then I'll have Sofia...
With Montana (Lindsay Monroe) and Bonosera on the side. Please.
