Sasha Alexander was definitely the show's eye candy when she was on.
Pablo de Cote is so bland that she doesn't fill that role, so IMO
fanboy interest has definitely consolidated around Pauley Perrette
because, well, everybody's had time to contemplate her tattoos.  ;)

Lauren Holly's no longer eye candy and wasn't brought on to be eye
candy, she was brought on to be a) Jethro's boss and b) Jethro's
potential romantic interest.  And then c) Bellisario realized that
they have no romantic chemistry and brought on Col. Mann (played by
the smouldering Susanna Thompson), who the new regime stupidly wrote
out of the show.

I think she's had at least one stalker.  And McGee is ga-ga over her.

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.  
It never works.  I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work 
and what I could've done differently.  I'm analyzing all my shortcomings 
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan 
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent 
victim of my own stupid plans.  God, I need some coffee.
