Henner fails to utilize her teammates Lil Jon and Trace Adkins as best as she can to host a party in Foxwoods Resorts' King-themed suite at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

AceShowbiz - Another project manager was dragged down into a pit of elimination in the May 5 episode of "The Celebrity Apprentice". This time, Marilu Henner had to pay the price for her mistake as she took charge of Team Power, leading Trace Adkins and Lil Jon to host a Foxwoods Resorts party in a suite at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Going for the King theme, Team Power showed a poor teamwork as Henner decided to go solo for food and kingly props, leaving Jon and Adkins handling the entertainment. With Hunter Hayes and LuAnn De Lesseps building the festive mood, the regal-themed party was apparently a bit too much for Adkins. "I never been to a party with massages and chess where people had their clothes on," Adkins cynically commented on Henner's creation.
Plan B, meanwhile, worked in harmony as Lisa Rinna led the only left member Penn Jillette to work on their Joker-themed party. Inviting magician Teller, celebrity chef David Burke and Lisa Lampanelli, the duo held a more modest party than their rival's as shown in the decoration, which was less "fun" than it could have been.
In the boardroom, both project managers praised the way their parties eventually turned out. Even though the execs were in favor of Team Power's creativity, they still thought that the king decor was too obvious and the chess table was a misstep. As the result, Plan B was announced as the winner and Rinna received $100.000 for her charity, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The three members of Team Power returned to the boardroom and tried to defend themselves in front of Donald Trump. Since it was all because Henner, whose leadership was called "interesting" by Jon, did not trust her partners to work on the project together, the business mogul had nothing to say to her but, "You're fired!"
