Aww, Tori's "friend" ;)
ReplyDeleteI PROMISE they ain't together lol
DeleteAwesome pices/The Bates/Diggers together again it's good to see y'all together again....Congrats to the graduates !!
ReplyDeleteTori and Bobby are courting!
ReplyDeleteI like it when both families get together, awesome group of people.
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteTori was sitting too close to Bobby for him just to be a 'friend'.....Is there something we don't know??
ReplyDeleteUmmm...Is it just me, or are Tori & her "friend" Bobby holding hands?!?!
ReplyDeleteWohoooooo! Looks like Toris got a man!
ReplyDeleteTori's friend bobby!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIs it true that Tori and Bobby are courting?
ReplyDelete"Tori's friend, Bobby"? Bobby, the one who's arm-to-arm with her? :) Hmmmm... do I detect a relationship? Methinks I do! Yay, Tori! So happy for you.
ReplyDeleteJust because they're sitting close doesn't mean they're courting. I'm a teen ager and I sit that close to my male friends all the time. What's the big deal?
DeleteWhen I'm with male friends, I usually don't lean over towards them to touch arms. Only couples tend to do that. Everyone else keeps a less intimate distance from each other. I don't usually feel the need to touch arms with my
DeleteMale friends. Please try to be more courteous in your responses. They are coming across as rude.
The Bates have a different standard. They try to have very little physical contact before marriage. Some of the kids didn't hold hands til engagement and some held hands and hugged. Some didn't hug til marriage kiss or anything.
DeleteAnd they also have chaperones. Which it looks as if Trace is playing the role of.
DeleteLoved last night's Mothers Day Special! Up tv knows how to take care of its fans. Thank you so much for the quality and expertise that you put into the production of your shows. Especially Bringing Up Bates! Love them all.
ReplyDeletecongratulations to the graduates! Is Tori courting!?!
The Bates have not announced a courtship, so we will have to wait and see what happens. We always try to respect their wishes and not speculate or make announcements before they wish to make them.
DeleteBlessings,
Lily and Ellie
We assume so since John mentioned that Tori has a boyfriend twice in a recent Name that Bates episode.
DeleteTori's FRIEND Bobby? Maybe he's the rumoured boyfriend that different Bates have hinted at..???
ReplyDeleteIs Tori's friend Bobby anyone special?
ReplyDeleteOh snap! Tori looks extra close to Bobby! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Readers,
ReplyDeleteThe Bates have not announced a courtship, so we will have to wait and see what happens. We always try to respect their wishes and not speculate or make announcements before they wish to make them. For now, any talk of a courtship between Tori and Bobby is nothing more than a rumor. :)
Blessings,
Lily and Ellie
How could the relationship be a rumor when John even said that she had a boyfriend in this clip?

Thank you for reminding us fans that we need to respect their privacy and not spread things that may not be true.
ReplyDeleteYes :-) I agree
DeleteAbsolutely! Me too
DeleteSorry but I'm going to need more proof then a random girl claiming their courting and them setting next to each other.
ReplyDeleteJohn (alyssa's husband) said tori got a boyfriend.
DeleteCongratulations to the graduates. These are great photos. Thanks to William for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteExactly, they're just sitting close to each other, they could just be good friends...
ReplyDeleteI knew it. Why is everyone so ready to pounce on the idea of Tori have a boyfriend? Goodness, just give her a break.
ReplyDeleteI go to bobbys church,Hillsdale baptist,and their dating.they have been dating since march
