(CBS) And you thought the feuding was over when Gary Busey got the ax on "The Celebrity Apprentice." This week, a new fight broke out and it meant disaster for one contestant. (SPOILER ALERT)

Sunday night's episode began with a row between LaToya Jackson and NeNe Leakes, that grew so troublesome that project manager Star Jones had to stop the task to broker a peace.

The two appeared to have made strides in cooperating but when the women's team was called into the board room, Leakes sided with Star Jones and Jackson was fired.

In a departure from most segments, both teams failed miserably at the task - designing a four-page ad spread for the Trump luxury hotels. The women's team - with a cheesy, cluttered package and lackluster presentation - were the losers.

And this despite the news that the men's team failed to include a phone number, website or any other contact information in their package.

In the board room, Star argued that Jackson was the weakest team member and got support from Leakes. Host Donald Trump fired Jaclson because he said he needed to give the women an opportunity to build a strong team and prove themselves.

Interestingly, before departing in the elevator, Jackson gave Jones the cold shoulder but hugged Leakes affectionately. So much for feuding.
