Sure Trace/Jackson/Warden/Isiah can lay tile or rip up carpet but they all have champagne tastes on a beer budget. If they want a house like John's or to be able to travel all the time, they need to hit up a trade school and get licensed in something which can take several years + cost tuition money -- money which would've been easier to come up with the show. Same with Z - bet he wishes now he hadn't quit [or get kicked out of] the PD where he had a salary + benefits. Whit's clothes selling business may go the way of social media income - dwindling over time. Sure he has contractor skills and can do foundation work, as well as dry wall but excuse me if I have a crack in my foundation, am I really going to hire a hobbyist or a licensed contractor?? wonder if someone thought far enough to put $$ aside for Jud & Jed ? Ole Jackson- are you still friends with the military recruiting office? Steady paycheck twice a month , plus benefits .. 1 3 Link to comment
answerphone January 22, 2022 Share January 22, 2022 Lawson’s getting married in San Diego. I live nearby and it’s not an affordable area to stay for multiple families with a zillion children. Plus, they will need to rent a few super large passenger vans, with car seats and infant seats for all those children. I’m guessing they’ll reach out to members of the bride’s church for some type of help. 🤨 Good luck… 1 3 Link to comment

Peanut6711 January 25, 2022 Share January 25, 2022 (edited) Late to the game but agree there is definitely something up (no pun intended) with that cancellation. I smell a stinky scandal brewing. No way does a network put that much money and resources into a season and then pull it right before it's due to air simply because of a focus shift in programming. If that was solely the case, BUB would have just been moved to a lesser time slot for the last season. If ratings were the issue, it would have never gotten renewed when they looked at the previous season's numbers, and there certainly wasn't a lack of content. This dropped season likely included 2 weddings, one Italy engagement, 2 pregnancies and gender announcements, 3 June births, and possibly even Erin's "miracle" baby. The network's announcement is both vague and non-sensical. It almost implies that the kids are older so the show has lost its origional focus. Except this isn't a sitcom where the teens and younger children actors/actresses are all grown up and the show is lacking in "cute" shots/scenes/smiles while losing their targeted family demographics. There was no last-ditch effort with Cousin Oliver that failed and now the only option is cancellation. 😁 This family will never run out of babies and children for the cameras. The Netflix special is a year or more out. Even if there's something new and particularly juicy in that about the Bates, UP has plenty of time to air/dump the last season and still get out relatively unscathed. I'm not really convinced it was the Floyd comment either. And the Insurrection was over a year ago. Unless the Bates boys had a bigger involvement and federal charges are about to come down on them, I'm leaning towards something that hasn't broke yet.

If Up was cancelling the Bates' because they wanted to have more scripted content, then they would've had said scripted content in the can and ready to go when they announced the cancellation. There is no point in cancelling a show which is already filmed and ready to air to replace it with shows that, as far as we know, still need to be written, casted and filmed. No way there is anything ready to replace BUB for at least a few months, probably longer, which makes it unlikely that wanting to change direction in their programming is the reason TPTB canceled the show. 14 Link to comment

Yeah, that's what I meant by their official announcement was vague and non-sensical. It doesn't add up. Even when networks change or shift focus, it's often more gradual as they weave in new shows that fit the change they are going for, while still keeping the ones that have established viewers. Kinda like testing the waters. 6 Link to comment

GeeGolly January 26, 2022 Share January 26, 2022 The UPtv explanation was all over the place and poorly written. Almost like someone received news and quickly put out a statement to get ahead of something. Yet here we are a week later with no news. Maybe 1/6 pic of the Bates brothers from inside the Capitol was sent to the network. 2 5 Link to comment

If they call the show "scripted" and not reality, the pay changes and the laws governing the show. The kids couldn't be filled all the time and they would have to be paid. No way would the Bates/Duggars or those others want that. Opens doors to government that they do not want. 3 Link to comment

So unbelievable January 27, 2022 Share January 27, 2022 Maybe enough people complained to UP about cancelling a show that has racists. I did, there had to be others. I don't really care the reason UP gave for cancelling them. I'm just glad they were and no longer have a platform to show their "perfect, god loving, hypocritical family". 3 Link to comment
GeeGolly January 27, 2022 Share January 27, 2022 Without going into too much speculative detail... Jackson Bates was recently doing a huge construction reno with some Duggar brothers for Jessa. He recently posted a Lawson-like photo and now he's missing the big CO ski trip, travelling through New Jersey with Gil's college friend. ...and the show was abruptly cancelled. 4 4 Link to comment

I wouldn't be surprised at all if there wasn't some sort of revelation that Kelly and Gil don't want to be part of the show and they refused to film something and UP cut them loose. They're as bad as the Duggars when it comes to pretending their lives are perfect and everyone lives a pure and godly life by their standards. And, of course, UP is known for its conservative Christian POV and if said revelation is not in keeping with the particular mores of the network, it could be that UP was equally concerned with keeping it out of the news and canceling the show rather than address it was their choice, too.

sATL January 2 Share January 2 (edited) Happy New Year !! I'm just popping in to see the latest news on the Bates -really wanted to know the grandkids count. And who is winning b/w the Bates and the Duggars. Prayers out to Kelly on her mother's passing. Anyone else pass since they have been off the air? Any news on if another network is going to pick them up - or spin off with just the kid-adults like the Duggers had for a hot minute? For some reason, I feel sad that the girls are consistently popping out babies. I love children and sex - but the thought of constantly doing the latter just to have the former - no.. How's Michela? Any moves on doing something medically for pregnancy, adoption or has she really thrown herself into her nursing career ? I don't understand why one of her sisters (or any one else) can't be her surrogate? I'm happy that Alyssa finally will get her son, but there has to be some kind of price for this. And I thought Erin heath issues would slow her roll, but I guess I was wrong on that too. I didn't know COVID effected the ovaries.. https://fundamentalists.fandom.com/wiki/Bates_Grandchildren Edited January 2 by sATL 2 Link to comment
