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

auntpetunia · 19/10/2014 19:42

The vote is for anton and not judy!

Thurlow · 19/10/2014 19:42

Votes for Anton

Bearbehind · 19/10/2014 19:44

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!

Northumberlandlass · 19/10/2014 19:44

I just can't believe it!!! She is painful to watch

capercaillie · 19/10/2014 19:44

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.

WowserBowser · 19/10/2014 19:45

Scottish votes and votes for Anton?

Yama · 19/10/2014 19:46

I love Judy Murray.

Bearbehind · 19/10/2014 19:46

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

Andy and Jamie probably

Bearbehind · 19/10/2014 19:47

scottish votes

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.

SauvignonBlanche · 19/10/2014 19:48

I'm delighted Judy is still in. Grin

thatwhichwecallarose · 19/10/2014 19:48

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
WipsGlitter · 19/10/2014 19:48

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.

WowserBowser · 19/10/2014 19:48

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

Clayhead · 19/10/2014 19:49

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.

PureMorning · 19/10/2014 19:49

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.

TheSpottedZebra · 19/10/2014 19:49

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?

Wowthishurtsalot · 19/10/2014 19:52

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

PetulaGordino · 19/10/2014 19:52

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

Yarp · 19/10/2014 19:53

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.

SauvignonBlanche · 19/10/2014 19:54

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

I'll vote for her next week! Grin
