My least favorite character would have to be Gideon. In the first season and part of the 2nd, he was the only one who ever solved the crimes. He's the one who always took credit, even though it would be a comment or movement that someone else would say that was the huge case-breaker. I also didn't like Rossi (Enters during Season 3) when he took Gideons place because he is just a glory hound and there's no team to Rossi. But he does begin to change halfway through the season, allowing for a slower, less tension free season.
