Simone Zipser- This bright and shining star has reported to DWTTS that she sees herself as the next Jennifer Lopez! AND we agree!!!! Simone is the much loved Co-Director of Sacred Heart Preschool in Turlock. Her little preschool friends adore her and so do we!

She loves everything THS Bulldogs and enjoys going to all the football games. Go Dogs! Simone is known for having fun wherever she goes! Have so much fun tonight Simone!
Craig Pacheco- This amazing and selfless star is full of LIFE!
Craig has been the proud husband of Jill for
the last 21 years and is the proud father of 3 handsome boys Case, 19, Cole, 16,
and Cooper, 11. He loves all the outdoor guy stuff there is including camping,
fishing, coaching his boys’ baseball teams, and even mowing lawns! Let’s not
forget that he is one of the biggest Dodger fans EVER!!! In October of 2014,
Craig was diagnosed with testicular cancer, underwent surgery, but was
diagnosed a second time in 2015 as well. He and his family fought and won the
battle after intense chemo treatments at Stanford Cancer Center and received a
cancer-free diagnosis in November of 2015! The community fought for him right
by his side and nobody will ever forget the meaning of #SHOVEIT!!!
