Rewatching the show for the billionth time, I got to where Yuri is trying to figure out Eros and he says that Victor can get away with not figuring out what eros means to him before explaining the playboy story Yuri can see in the program. But I didn't but the Victor didn't think about it so I was wondering if he was maybe thinking of Yuri when he choreographed it?

The playboy story could kinda describe Victor's and Yuri's relationship to that point if you squint hard enough at it: Victor meets Yuri at the banguet, where he dances and flirts with Victor, getting him infatuated with him, only for Yuri to leave back to Japan and reject Victor's advances when he follows aftet him.

Not sure if the writers thought that deep about it, but I like the idea of Victor imagining his dance with Yuri at the banquet when he planned out Eros so I'm going with it.

So I just watched the show for the first time cuz it was up on YouTube for free. I was confused when at the end of the Grand Prix in the finale, it looks like JJ was standing on the podium in 3rd place. I was under the impression that after he choked in short program and he had a bunch of mistakes in his free skate that he wasn't going to do well enough to medal whereas Altin landed all his jumps and had solid if less memorable performances. So how did JJ manage to outscore Altman and everyone else? Did I miss something or was it just cuz the writers wanted him in 3rd so he got some plot armor?
