Big Brother stars Janelle Pierzina and McCrae Olson launched a new podcast called Diary Room Open Mic, on which they will discuss Celebrity Big Brother 3 and other topics. In 2013, then 23-year-old pizza boy McCrae placed 4th on Big Brother 15, a season that was marred by the racist, homophobic, antisemitic, and misogynistic comments made by some of the houseguests. Although McCrae did not directly participate in this behavior, he did have a showmance with controversial contestant Amanda Zuckerman. While Amanda was in the house, McCrae stayed under the radar, allowing her to take the reins. However, after her eviction, he won some competitions that kept him in the game. Before the show began, Janelle had tweeted that she was rooting for McCrae because he was from her home state of Minnesota.

Janelle is a Big Brother legend who many regard as one of the greatest contestants ever to play the game due to her physical, social, and strategic game play. She earned the nickname «Queen of Big Brother» after her iconic appearances on several different seasons. Janelle first took the house by storm in 2005 when she placed third on Big Brother 6. She returned the next season for Big Brother 7, an all-stars season, during which she again placed third, and set the record for the most individual competitions won in a single season. Janelle won four Head of Household and five veto competitions for a total of nine wins, and became known as the «Veto Queen.» She also was the first houseguest to ever win the America's Favorite Houseguest award. In 2012, Janelle began Big Brother 14 as a coach and later joined the game as a player, placing 12th. Her most recent return to the game was during the 2020 Big Brother 22 season, another all-stars
