The seven remaining contestants are asked by RuPaul to participate in an improv mini-challenge, called "Slap Out of It", that pastiches a similar scene from the finale of season two. Each queen has to try and make RuPaul fake slap them. Asia O'Hara, who is accidentally slapped for real by RuPaul, wins the mini-challenge.[1][2]
On the main stage, Monét receive positive comments for her performance and mixed reviews for her runway look, conversely for both Eureka and Miz Cracker with their runway and performance; all three contestants are deemed safe. Kameron receives praise for both her runway look and Cher performance, and wins the main challenge. Aquaria, Asia and The Vixen are complimented for their runway looks, but their performances place them in the bottom three. Aquaria is declared safe, while Asia and The Vixen lip sync to "Groove Is In the Heart" by Deee-Lite.
Asia wins the lip sync and The Vixen is eliminated from the competition.[6]
Oliver Sava of The A.V. Club said "Slap Out Of It" "might be the best Drag Race mini-challenge ever".[7]Yahoo! Entertainment's Lyndsey Parker said the musical "needs to go straight to Broadway and win all the Tonys. I could watch 'Cher: The Rusical' over and over, and I'd never want to snap out of it."[8]
Amanda Duarte of The New York Times wrote, "The Rusical should have been unauthorized by the producers of this program. The off-Cher (Sherm?) songs, the fact that none of the terrified, dead-eyed queens had ever done a Cher impression before, and the insane final number in which they attempted the Watusi in front of a bunch of glittery foamcore cockroaches added up to the kind of triple threat that warrants a restraining order. The whole thing was (TW: Cher puns) half-bred. I wanted to “Silkwood”-shower it off me. I wished I could turn back time. I cannot remember a worse challenge in the herstory of this show. I was moan-struck."[9]
