OWN’s Family or Fiancé puts another couple through its high-stakes relationship test this week, focusing on a romance built on excitement that now faces a sobering reality. “Bottoms Up and Rock Bottom” introduces Janae and Phillip, a couple whose whirlwind affair, fueled by travel and parties, is now at a critical turning point due to Phillip’s recent sobriety.
The episode, airing Saturday at 8:00 PM ET, places the couple under the same roof as their concerned families, forcing them to address the fractures in their foundation. With alcohol no longer a part of their lives, the fundamental differences in their lifestyles have become impossible to ignore. Communication has broken down, and what was once a passionate connection is now strained by the challenges of navigating a new, substance-free future together.
As is typical for the series, the families do not hold back, voicing their worries about the couple’s compatibility and long-term prospects. Janae and Phillip have just three days to work through these deep-seated issues and decide if their love is strong enough to withstand this major life change.
Family or Fiancé airs Saturday, June 21 at 8:00 PM ET on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
