But at the same time I know there are a lot that really like her. Although whether they like her because she's 'her' or whether they like her because she isn't Ziva I wouldn't like to say.

The thing I've noticed about a lot of people who like her - and yeah, this is entirely anecdotal and not worth the digital paper its printed on - is that they are now defending everything they insisted they say they didn't want to see with Tony/Ziva. Office romance. Check. Said romance interfering with the job. Check. Constantly being bludgeoned by said romance instead of it just be a background element. Check. Utter lack of chemistry between characters involved in romance. check.

So yeah. I remain convinced that most of the people who "like" her are people who simply don't like Ziva or don't like Tony/Ziva.

YMMV
