Not a fan of Vanessa Ferlito

I never liked Ms. Ferlito in CSI and I do not think she is a good fit this show. This show has always been on the bubble to me. I am a big fan of Scott Bakula, and that has kept me in it. They already added a "hard chick" character with Shalita Grant. And then they tried to do that forced romance with LaSalle. Which has zero chemistry. They do not need two hard chick types on the team. Brody was the softer side. I was not a huge fan of that actress but now I wish she was still there.

Jan 2017- I am bummed out. I am finding myself skipping ahead on these episodes with her in it. I am not sure I can stick with this if they make her a permanent part of the team. Which it looks like is going to happen.

We agree! Don't like her!

[–] g_ann 8 years ago

I don't like either of this season's female agents. I thought Shalita Grant's character was obnoxious, but they really upped the biatch quotient with Ferlito. The producers need to fire them both, and hire a decent actress who can kick ass *and* maintain her composure. Since when do women have to be ball busters to be tough? Brody did just fine.

I can't figure out why no one likes her. Loved her on Graceland....and she is a much better fit on the team than Brody (in my personal opinion).

she is quite possibly the most annoying character i have ever seen. like others have said here herm grumpy face and terrible acting is honestly going to make me stop watching this show. Which is a shame cos I like most of the other cast and location.

Some people are put off by certain looks on women but could give two shyts about men who look like frogs. I'm not a fan of Ferlito either but it has nothing to do with her looks. Her acting style is not my cup of tea, but I would take her over that Brody character any day, she was boring.

[–] lbrn-94434 8 years ago

I can't say that I have ever seen this actress before so I don't know anything about her but I know from the few episodes I have seen her in I do not like her. I never watch CSI NY. I'm a big fan of all the other characters and I think they all work well together as a team but she is not a good fit to them or the team. I don't know why Brody left but I wish she would come back.

Tammy (Ferlito) is really hard to look at. I look away when she is on screen. Her lip transplant is giving me nightmares. I can't tell if she's pouting them out intentionally, but it looks like it.

I haven't heard of Federal Agents with half their fake boobs pouring out, high heel shoes and painted on pants. I read and agree with all the other comments here. She needs to go, before I get tired of looking away in horror.

I have seen her before she butchered her lips, she was very pretty. Peer pressure is hard to fight for some people, I feel sorry for her.

I love your post! I had to laugh out loud! Especially this one:

Her lip transplant is giving me nightmares.


Completely agree with you on all points. I've quit watching since she came on board. I really miss the show, but until she's gone, I can't watch.

I thought her face looked odd. Now I totally see what you are saying. Ugh, not I will be noticing that too! :)

and she walks/runs so weirdly

[–] darkavenger77 8 years ago

I do not think she is a good fit this show.

I'm watching the latest episode now and it struck me that she never smiles. Her facial expression never changes.

I am a big fan of Scott Bakula, and that has kept me in it.

Same here.

I like how the buttons on her blouses are getting progressively lower as the season progresses.

[–] jk-692-236394 8 years ago

oh you made me laugh with that remark! Good distraction from the scowling face.

[–] kam57 8 years ago

Yep. Not a fan of the character or the actress. Hate the pursed lips look, the aggressive stance, the cocked head and heavy lidded eyes as her fall back and go to expression, loathe the boobs bursting through the shirt look in tight jeans that both female characters go for in a VERY hot city. Hate the whole "I am superior coz I am a strong woman" shtick that bad writers seem to feel all strong minded young females should espouse and most of all don't think Ms Ferlito can act. Please let the FBI take her back to DC.

[–] SindyLan 8 years ago

you may not like her, but she adds to the show, which is why she's still there.

loathe the boobs bursting through the shirt look in tight jeans that both female characters go for in a VERY hot city

wow, never heard anyone say that before,

[–] kam57 8 years ago

Well I don't like the "boobs bursting out unbuttoned look" when worn to work as its not a very professional look. Belongs on the weekend when out having fun!!!!! Secondly have been to New Orleans and it is a very hot place. Who would wear boots and super tight jeans in a job that can be very physical? You would melt into a puddle and fall over from heat exhaustion.
Thirdly you say she adds to the show and yet there are so many folks who don't see it that way including me. That is what this thread is about!!!!! I think she detracts from the show greatly as her poor acting makes me cringe. I hoped as time went by she would settle in to the role but it does not seem to be happening. If you like her then please start a thread to say so and balance this one out!!!!!

[–] maryrosenkranz 8 years ago

With the outfit, lol, many shows do this. It is rare that anyone is actually wearing what would be deemed appropriate on the job. As for those who don't care for her, I wouldn't go by what is posted on IMDB boards as they are notorious for people to "crap" on what they don't like. Now if you go to Facebook, I would say it's half & half. But even if you combine everyone who goes on to any of these boards, it doesn't even make up 1/2 of the viewers. The only way to get a true basis would be if a petition was sent out, or the powers that be surveyed everyone who watches.

I personally see nothing wrong with her, but I'm easy going when changes occur. I do note that on every show I watch, people have a very hard time with change no matter what or who it is.

[–] jk-692-236394 8 years ago

Also on this last show, her gut was hanging out the entire show. She just has a sloven strange look. The bottom line is I think she is a terrible fit for this show.

[–] SindyLan 8 years ago

Kam, this is not real, it's Hollywood at it's best, it's a male type of show, every man, and some women, like what they see, the days of 1957 TV have been over a long time,

you say she adds to the show and yet there are so many folks who don't see it that way including me. That is what this thread is about!!!!!

Are you telling me that only people that are Not a fan of Vanessa Ferlito can post here? because I'll post where ever I want and say whatever I want and if you don't like it they have meds for that. back to the statement, "many folks don't see it that way are you talking about the 15 people on this board? out of the millions who watch the show? talk about balance,
do you work for IMDB?

[–] kam57 8 years ago

I am well aware this is not real and I really don't take any of this seriously. As to "1957 TV" I was just saying people should be dressing appropriately for work and the weather? What has that got to do with 1957? Most jobs require this in todays world. Also I was not suggesting that only non fans could post here I assure you. I was just saying that if you are a fan then by starting a post saying good things, that would add balance and would be a nice thing to do. As to only 15 people on this board not liking this actress/character I was including all the people I know who watch and don't like the actress/new character either. I hope that clears things up and that you see that I was not trying to be in any way offensive.

[–] SindyLan 8 years ago

that's ok Kam, it's not a big deal, sorry for getting testy, it's not like me, just some days just don't go right and yesterday didn't, but that's my problem and I took it out on you, ;)

[–] kam57 8 years ago

No drama. We all have days like that. Hope the rest of the week goes well for you.

[–] SindyLan 8 years ago

glad you're not mad at me, today was 1000 times better, thanks for understanding. :)
