The Circle's Emma Willis explains what sets the show apart from Big Brother
Emma Willis has explained what sets The Circle apart from her former show Big Brother.
The presenter will take over the reins of the Channel 4 reality show for its second series, which begins next week.
Speaking recently, Emma explained that unlike the "social experiment" vibes of the now defunct Big Brother, The Circle is pretty much a game show, with people constructing their character in order to win money.
See. Totally different.

"I know there's this kind suggestion it is just a replacement for Big Brother for me but I view it quite differently," she said.
"The thing with Big Brother is that for me, I always viewed it with the purist mentality, it was a social experiment. That is always how I watched Big Brother. But this, I very much watch it as a game.
"I hated Big Brother being compared to a game but this is clearly a game with the interaction of people, how they'll react in certain scenarios and then seeing who is going to be themselves and who is going to play it to try and be the most popular and win that money."
