Amber and Daniele from Big Brother 8 won a trip out of the house a few weeks back during a Power of Veto competition. We soon learned that this trip involved some CBS cross-promotional goodness: the two were flown out to New York City to compete on the Drew Carey hosted game show Power of 10. Tonight, CBS aired the episode with Amber and Daniele in the hour before Big Brother. What happened? Well, there was lots and lots of crying.

The new primetime game show, Power of 10, will premiere in CBS tonight at 8pm ET/PT, with Drew Carey as its host. The 49-year-old comedian and actor, known for his work on the American version of Whose Line is it Anyway?, will be giving contestants the chance to win $10 million by asking them five percentage-related questions created from public-opinion poll's results. The game proved interesting enough for Carey to return to television.
"I would have been quite happy to never, ever be on another TV show," Carey said, "but this sounded so interesting to me, I said I'd do it. It was a big thing that [Who Wants to be a Millionaire? executive producer] Michael Davies was doing it, and I think people who watch it will rethink what they believe America believes."
