I get that there's always the sympathy/ comedy vote (thinking Russell Grant and Mo Molland) but Judy Murray has no redeeming features as far as I can see- who's voting to keep her?

there are far worse dancers than Judy though - so they will go first

But that's not really how Strictly works is it- you don't have to be good to get people voting for you. I just find watching her quite excruciating really and honestly can't see why people would spend money on voting for her.

Will they, though? I can see Scott Mills the dancing lobster being in for weeks Angry

I was wondering the same as you, OP!

I voted for judy (and not because of anton). She's trying hard and she hasn't had previous experience unlike many of the others.

capercaillie genuine question- why do you think she's trying harder than anyone else?

Seriously? Do people really just vote based on nationality in anything other than Eurovision?

I've not voted for anyone but I'd far rather vote for the likes of judy and Scott than the stage school kids who've been dancing for years. I realise it's not the same type of dancing but pixie abd Frankie, for example, will be well used to practising dance moves. It's not a fair competition.

I admire the ones with zero experience who practice hard and give it a go.

Spoiler alert?!

I voted for both Judy & Anton and Scott & Joanne this week.

  1. I do it online so it's free
  2. Judy will build in confidence which will help her get better - others are just crap
  3. I like her anyway

I'm delighted Judy is still in. Grin

It's the ones who went to drama school and obviously did dance that piss me off - Frankie for example. It's totally different from someone like Tim, Scott or Judy who have no prior experience at all.

Louis always uses it as a tactic on The X Factor!

I'm voting for her. Follow her in twitter and love her on the radio, always so self deprecating and such a dry sense of humour.

I'm voting because she's enjoying it so much and I identify with her more than many of the others - to go into the competition with no performing experience.

I think there are worst dancers than judy.


Alot of the others are stage school brats and thats really put me off voting this year.

Maybe people who admire her for her tennis career?
Or who can empathise with her being the oldest woman, and not being super relaxed and able to shake and shimmy like all the stage school people can?

Or who, you know - like her?

Tim studied tap dancing at college if Wikipedia is to be believed

I've never voted on strictly but I heard Judy Murray on desert island discs and I think she is an absolutely fab woman

I think she's the worst dancer. I don't dislike her, she is obviously trying ( but then everyone is), but she can't last much longer.

I didn't realise you could vote for free online Blush

I'll vote for her next week! Grin
