The Firm: Season 2 Premier

Last night marked the premier of The Firm: Season 2 on ntv7 - an event clearly not forgotten by the contestants of the show who have been waiting in anticipation for the day of the screening. The gang, consisting of Ain, Dyan, Joo Lee, Masami, Jennifer, Ridzuan and Yuen Wai plus Team Equity's corporate leader Peter Pek, made up the 'reunion' crowd at Hush, Bangsar as well as the production crew from Popiah Pictures, and contestants and winner of The Firm: Season 1, Anrie and Joel.

It was a thrilling experience for the contestants who were seeing themselves on telly for the first time. It was amazing how the end result turned out. With 50 hours of footage compressed into 45 minutes of TV airtime, a lot of 'drama' and dialogue had been cut out but if you expected something a lot more 'dirty', hang on! There's still more episodes to come!

The crowd at Hush that night was a noisy one, filled with laughter and jibes. The Firm: Season 2 may lack the fast-paced, adrenaline-stoked action of The Apprentice, but The Firm: Season 2 made for quite a comedic and entertaining show.

The night ended with everyone feeling quite good about themselves (and of the show, of course!). A lot of time, effort and money (or, sweat and tears, if you like) had gone into the tasks performed - with each task ending either in cheers or tears - so for most of the contestants, the fact that they could, for once in their life, feel like a TV star was reward enough.

For those who have missed the premier of The Firm: Season 2, fret not! You may still catch it online here. Happy viewing and do leave us some comments!
