The second series of Dancing with the Stars premiered on 7 May 2006. It had an average of 804,000 people watching, more than the first series, and up to a million tuned into the finale.[1] Rebecca Nicholson (who partnered Tim Shadbolt in the first series) was the only dancer to be part of the series, and partnered Shortland Street actor David Wikaira-Paul. One of the most memorable moments in series two was celebrity Rodney Hide and his partner Krystal Stuart, who were awarded only one point from each judge for his cha-cha-cha, but also dropped her during the end of the performance.[2] On 25 June, Lorraine Downes and her partner Aaron Gilmore took the title of Dancing with the Stars, who ended up winning $111,961.63 for her charity, of the total $333,655, raised for all charities over the series.[3] According to a TVNZ news release, Lorraine Downes won the votes from the public by a slim 0.1%, winning 50.05%, to Faumuina's 49.95%.[3]
