My biggest competition on the show is me.

Im keeping my eyes on my own paper, she revealed.

I think everyone has a little bit of magic in them.

I had some questions for her, because its really this whole thing.

Its totally different to dancing and moving at a party.

Flannery said the training has been a bit challenging.

I did some dancing in college in musicals, like inWest Side Story.

But that was a long time ago, like 35 years ago.

Im pretty creaky and chubby now, so well see how I do.

Im trying to carbo-load.

I dont want to disappoint the fans by changing too much, she laughed.

I would love to lose a few pounds, of course.

Angela Kinsey, who was onTheOfficewith me will be at the first show.

AndJane Lynchis coming, too.
