It's not that I dislike het, I just don't like the het they choose to explore.

Exactly. I'm violently opposed to Sara/Gil (they're just too much alike, and they bring out unfortunate qualities in each other), but Warrick/Catherine I'd really like to see. We've have had hints, though, so maybe someday. The one Gil pairing I was curious about was Gil/Lady Heather, and he sabotaged that pretty completely, Mr. Social Skills that he is. But Gil/Sara is a big neon "no" for me. Which means TPTB will pursue it, of course.
