Dancing with the Stars Semifinal airs tonight
Maks Chmerkovskiy has always been a lightning rod on DWTS. Tonight he and Meryl Davis strive for the finals.

LOS ANGELES -- Maks Chmerkovskiy has always been a lightning rod on "Dancing with the Stars." He never expected to compete again when he left last year to focus on Broadway and his dance schools. But tonight Mad Maks and Olympic champion Meryl Davis vie for their spot in the finale. The semifinal of "Dancing with the Stars" airs Monday at 7 p.m. on ABC, featuring the ever-popular freestyle dance competition.

Meryl and Maks went from the top of the leader board to the bottom last week, but it's been a roller coaster race this season and this team is just magic, so anything is possible.
