All good things must come to an end.

It was a rather short-lived dancing career for Gilda Kirkpatrick after getting voted out of the competition by viewers and the judges tonight on the first evening of eliminations on Dancing with the Stars.

Gilda Kirkpatrick scored 17 points and looked absolutely gutted as they left the stage.

Judges Rachel Winter, Julz Tocker and Camilla Sacre-Dallerup scored the dancers tonight:

• Roger Rakete- 21 points
  • Suzy Cato - 21 points
  • David Seymour- 20 points
  • Gilda Kirkpatrick - 17 points

The scores of Sunday night's eight contestants:

• Naz Khanjani - 24 points
  • Zac Franich - 24 points
  • Chris Harris- 24 points
  • Jess Quinn - 23 points
  • Shavaughan Ruakere - 21 points
  • Samantha Hayes - 18 points
  • Roger Farelly - 16 points
  • Marama Fox - 14 points

The show has been doing well in the ratings, with the first episode last week besting TVNZ 2's Survivor NZ in the same timeslot.
