As someone who was blessed to watch some of these programs live, I can say that my impression was: "Wow, what amazing programs, perfectly suitable for the skaters!"
Many inovative ideas of programs, who many of us would have not considered for certain skaters, yet working out so beautifully. I don't think that Daniil's programs are pefect, of course he still has a lot of learn, but what he's doing is incredible, and he is still a young choreographer. It's clear that him and Eteri are studying meticulously every skater and are able to highlight all their strenghts. And I consider many of their ideas very original, for example Alyona's SP, and many others. (I won't name here other skaters because this is Alyona's FF
) Sometimes it isn't even about the music choice, but the way the program is created and presented on the ice.
About the ideas behind the exhibition programs. for all that we know maybe the skaters themselves wanted to skate on that specific music, or portray a certain character. I find them very modern, refreshing and I am happy that the girls have such thoughtful ex programs, even during Juniors. I don't think that Daniil and Eteri are spending time on Instagram waiting for exhibition programs ideas. And anyway, the amount of inovative and original programs that they choreographed for this season is speaking for itself. There are some programs, including Alyona's SP, that, deep inside, I wish will be kept for next season, and it is very hard for me to accept that what we are seeing at these last competitions will be the last showings of these programs. That's how beautiful they are!
Apparently Alyona told Dasha that she ate 8-10 kebabs, and then she told her mom she only ate 5-6...? 
Little devil indeed! 
But that would be such a sudden change - from "angelic" (per Ted Barton) to "rock vampire".
