cereality July 8, 2021 Share July 8, 2021 So when he isn't being called in to make some money working on a natural disaster, is Law's means of support mowing lawns still?? I don't think he gives pilot lessons yet as he hasn't fully finished his own licensing bc in one of the episodes Nathan was saying if he wants help, he needs to finish it in 2021 - presumably before Nathan is married and getting his girl pregnant. How on earth does Law expect to be able to afford a ring, let alone a wife who looks like she would like to make a life in San Diego!? Bc this isn't like he's running a landscaping business making good money. Bc let's be honest he spends 75% of his time now with Tiffany in California - so who is really going to hire him to mow a lawn weekly only to get the weekly text that's like sorry I'm in Cali, I'll be back next week, I'll do it then. No commercial property is going to deal with that on a weekly basis and frankly neither would most homeowners given that landscaping services are a dime a dozen nowadays. So he's likely on the friends and family plan - mowing for the Bates' "sweet friends" when he's in town and skipping weeks when he isn't!? We know he takes care of Michael's lawn and probably has another dozen or half dozen clients. Enough to make some money to fuel up the plane, fly to SD, and have some spending money to take Tiff out to In-and-Out and the zoo; he bunks at Tiff house so at least that doesn't cost him money. He posted IG videos this afternoon re how hot it is in the south in the summer, how he was out mowing lawns; uh usually ppl born and raised in the south know to take care of those kinds of tasks at 8 am - not waiting until 3 pm. In any event Tiff may want to reconsider life in San Diego, or consider how SHE will pay for a house/apartment, cars, car insurance, and health insurance for them bc his $12 or $15/hr jobs won't cut it. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101990-the-lonely-bates-club-still-looking-for-love/page/4/#findComment-6881635

iluvobx July 9, 2021 Share July 9, 2021 I saw read the other day that Lawson and his dog are now in law enforcement. It also went on to say that Trace is also in law enforcement as a deputy. There were pictures of them in their uniforms. I don't know if they are working in the Sheriff's Dept or their local police force. Something was mentioned about Nathan's real job and I can't remember what it is but it was in aviation. If that is the case, Nathan can move anywhere he wishes too. So much is scripted, especially with the guys. Someone else who did a "reality" show similar to this has said that they usually try to cram everything into a 2 day shoot. If that is the case, then some of them can be filmed when off or on the weekend. Still don't get why Zack quit law enforcement unless he didn't pass the physical. He had been in law enforcement for a long time and really loved it. IF he left because of Whitney (& Kelly), shame on them both because that can come back to bite them on their collective asses. I really wish Whitney would get her head out of Kelly's ass. Kelly needs to back off from the boyfriends. She is so pushy and why would you want your teenager to be married? It seems that some cracks are starting to show within the family or at least the show. Not all of them are buddy-buddy or even close to each other. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101990-the-lonely-bates-club-still-looking-for-love/page/4/#findComment-6882981

Hope this one has less personality than Chaney. Chaney dared to NOT want to jump right in and act like his sisters and mommy were her best friends and that she'd of course want to model for the boutique and move to Tenn and live his family's life. She dared to require her husband to move away from his mommy and sisters and to Texas. She dared to be good at sports and beat him at games multiple times leaving him whining about - oh she's so much better than me at everything - and then she wouldn't kiss his @$$ to make him feel like superman as Gil advised Carlin to do with Evan in their vows, nor would she purposefully lose the next time. I mean it's only been under 2 years, we know HE hasn't grown in any way.

cereality March 31, 2022 Share March 31, 2022 (edited) That diamond is . . . incredibly modest to put it politely. Nathan and Law were able to afford bigger for their babes - likely getting some product placement credit let them get a better ring, as both were shown going to the store on an episode to discuss and buy the ring, with the jeweler's name prominently featured on the episodes. I mean usually you can photograph a diamond in such a way that it looks bigger than it is and with this one it's so small, even photo tricks aren't doing anything. Guess the odd jobs as and when needed for Chad, Gil, and the constable's office aren't paying all that well. How does he plan to support a wife and the kids their going to start popping out immediately? I mean I guess she'll be an influencer like all the sisters/SILs but that usually gets you free products, not money to rent/buy a home and put food on the table. Are they really going to be scrapping along on her photography + his odd jobs? Interesting that he went and spoke to Z when he was dating the first girl and Z told him to get with the police dept full time [before he quit/got kicked off] AND use downtime to make extra money working with Chad, as Z lamented that's what he should have done before marrying Whit so it'd be financially easier. Nice to see Trace took that advice. Chaney appears to be single and must be feeling like she dodged a bullet breaking it off with this loser two years ago.

BitterApple March 31, 2022 Share March 31, 2022 The ring leaves a lot to be desired, especially after the whopper that Tiffany got. The US Magazine article claimed it's a carat, but there's no way in hell the center stone is that big. It looks like .5 at most. Lydia has large hands so it sort of disappears on her. One option is to reset it with a halo, to make it stand out more, but if she's happy with it, that's all that matters. She's a beautiful girl though, so between her and Chaney, Trace has consistently punched above his weight. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101990-the-lonely-bates-club-still-looking-for-love/page/4/#findComment-7375271

They were running around like chickens with their heads cut off to secure another venue, while Lydia is whining about how she doesn't care about the weather and still wants to get married by the pond. Yeah, honey, your guests might have an issue with that. They're the ones who're going to be sitting around freezing and sopping wet waiting for the ceremony to start because none of these idiots can be on time. I also think the drama with the bridesmaid dress was manufactured to promote Miss Renee's business. For those who didn't hear, Lydia's bridesmaids ordered dresses from someplace in China. The gowns took forever to ship and when they finally came in one of them was (allegedly) bright pink rather than white (like the others). Ordering anything from a Chinese clothing site is a massive risk. Sure, the stuff is cheap, but there's huge variations in quality and the sizing can be way, way off. An Asian large is like an American XXS. So anyways, this dress is totally wrong and Lydia puts in a call to Miss Renee who swoops in to save the day (insert manufactured drama and eye roll). She insists they can either bleach the pink dress to make it white or tear apart Josie's dress to make a pattern and then sew one from scratch. And all of this will be accomplished within a week of the ceremony. Yeah, my bullshit meter is ringing too 🙄. I find Lydia wholly unlikeable. She comes across spoiled and childish. She also has a weird habit of running up super close to the camera so the entire frame is filled with her nose. At first I wondered why she chose Trace, but after watching her I think they're perfectly suited. 3 4 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101990-the-lonely-bates-club-still-looking-for-love/page/4/#findComment-7678580
GeeGolly October 1, 2022 Share October 1, 2022 Was renting tents to put up at the original venue site not an option? I've actually been to a handful of outdoor weddings with no Plan B incase of rain. They all ran into various problems both big and small, from heat, bugs, wind and yes, rain. The rainy wedding rained all morning and the sun broke out about 15 minutes prior to the ceremony, but the seats were permanent wooden log benches so needless to say most of the guests stood. I get wanting what you want for your wedding, but I feel SM has turned them into competitions. And obviously Lydia the Bates are all about SM. 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101990-the-lonely-bates-club-still-looking-for-love/page/4/#findComment-7678605
BitterApple October 1, 2022 Share October 1, 2022 (edited) I can't recall if tents were mentioned or maybe they tried and couldn't secure one in time. Full disclosure, the original venue has a covered area where they planned on having the reception, but it's small and if they used it for the ceremony they'd have to convert it into the reception set-up afterwards. Logistically I think it was too tough to do, because there'd be nowhere for people to go in the interim, not to mention a high of 62, cloudy and rainy makes for a pretty miserable experience, covered or not. Outdoor fall weddings are generally tricky. It can be unseasonably warm and gorgeous or freezing cold. For peace of mind, I think I'd go for an indoor venue from jump.

Self-centered and childish all the way. Mega-Bates. Trace looks like the love child of a ferret and a chipmunk. I wonder what his children will look like. I guess we'll find out in a year or less. I kind of hope the wedding gets rained on. It would serve them right for being idiots. 1 1 6 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/101990-the-lonely-bates-club-still-looking-for-love/page/4/#findComment-7678620
