9pm: A First Time for Everything
After their fairytale wedding, Carlin and Evan head off on their honeymoon with a stop in romantic Charleston, SC. The newlyweds experience the romance of the city and try their hand at crabbing. But will Carlin show her claws when Evan dares her to pick up a crustacean? Trace's friend, Chaney, is in town and he introduces her family to the Bates. Will Trace win her family over or lose his cool during a competitive game of bocce ball? The countdown to Josie and Kelton's first baby is on and final prep with a doula bolsters their confidence, but no one could truly anticipate the difficult labor in store. With much perseverance, Josie gives birth to baby Willow and the family comes together to celebrate.

Can you watch bates if your not in the united states?
ReplyDeleteIt may depend on which country you live in.
DeleteHow is Michaela doing ? Crown College doesn't teach a licenced Nursing program. Where is she going to school ?
Deletei got to hand it to trace! how difficult it must be to play out his relationship, after its already ended. the right one will come along at the right time
ReplyDeleteHe isn’t playing it out exactly. He was going with Chaney when the se episodes were filmed. They hadn’t split up. Loving and losing is just plain hard. Watching himself happy with her in these episodes would be difficult, I think.
DeleteHe can certainly choose not to watch those episodes if the break-up still bothers him. No one would blame him.
by 'playing out his relationship' i meant it being played on tv after it ended, thats all. you cant find the episode available anymore when zach had his first courtship, and with the amount of filming they do, they could fill in that time with something else if they needed. like you said, loving and losing is hard and the fact that quiet trace is not against so many watching him go through this is amazing! and now we will all hurt along with him as it 'plays out' (is shown) over the season
Delete9:42. - you are so right. I didn’t think about all the filming they do. They could insert other film. I wonder if Trace had any say in the matter. It would be hard. 8:14
DeleteThat bbq is smoking too much! Too high of a temperature? It's out of control....
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's exactly why Zach was trying to correct him.
DeleteHe didn't play out the relationship. The episode we just seen is very real. All was good for most of the time until after Thanksgiving she decided he wasnt good for her. I cant imagine his pain. And maybe he want watch the episodes when he thought all was good. But he explained to us he was not cutting the scenes out. Best of luck to both.
ReplyDeleteI think the above commenter meant to say watching it play out. In other words, having to watch it now that they aren't together.
DeleteIt's a good thing she left the relationship if she wasn't happy and didn't feel connected. Much better than a loveless marriage.
Deleteshela, i am that original commenter and when i said 'play out' i meant it being played out over the season on tv after the fact, thats all. no disrespect intended! i'm sure it was a difficult decision to show the break up on tv which is what i was commenting on.
Deleteand thanks anon 2/19 @ 8:16am for catching my omission of the word 'watching'! no wonder my statement was misconstrued! lol. thank you, your explanation was spot on! (and no more typing on my phone, only the desktop for me lol)
Why isn't this show cancelled already?
ReplyDeleteWhy are you commenting on this fan blog?
DeleteBecause we love the Bates and want to keep on seeing them
DeleteThis show isn’t cancelled because there’s a lot of us interested in their lives, and they are obviously still interested in it as well. If it doesn’t interest you, then why are you even here making a comment??
ReplyDeleteAgree; it had to be difficult watching those happier times. He seems like a good guy and will find just the right girl soon.
ReplyDeleteDid BUB say that Carlin and Evan honeymoon in Charleston? Why is BUB changing the narrative when we all know they went to the islands right after the wedding?
ReplyDelete2 part honeymoon?
DeleteRead the blog post above. It will answer your question. Don't worry, there is no narrative conspiracy.
DeleteHow do you know they went to the islands immediately rather than stopping in Charleston first?
DeleteWhy isn't post showing up? Carlin, Evan, and this blog posted their honeymoon photos from the islands.
Delete4:48, no one is saying they didn't go to the islands. It looks like they went to the islands after Charleston.
Delete@feb.26. Wrong, Evan's voice in the video does.
Delete3:05, his voice literally says they wanted to spend a few days in Charleston before the islands, which is exactly what I said @Feb.26.
DeleteI enjoy vacationing in the US...I get to watch the Bates family (if the hotel or AirBnb has UPtv)
ReplyDeleteWill someone please clear up the confusion? Is Whitney a real estate agent OR a small dress business owner? The Bates program AND this website built Whitney up to be some professional real estate agent with that company they showed her signing up with. How can she do all of these businesses properly while having 3 children, a husband and a home to care for? I don't think the Bates family does anything very well at all, really. They are spread out too thinly to do any of it correctly.
ReplyDeleteEh, I don't really need to know how she spends her time.
Delete7:15- I hate to break it to you, but countless women juggle full time careers and their families. Likely the real estate job and the business are both part-time flexible endeavors that she can work at from home at times. Also, she has support from both families and likely no shortage of willing babysitters. She's lucky, as many people don't have this advantage.
DeleteMaybe she backed off the real estate when their family grew, or maybe she does it really part time. Just because they show parts of their lives on tv doesn't mean they have an obligation to keep us posted on things they show forever. If they want to give updates, sure. But no obligations. I don't demand that of people I know peripherally in my real life, and I won't demand it of people I watch on tv.
DeleteI think she’s both!
DeleteWhitney probably has some sitters to give her a hand when she needs to show a house or consult with a client. I’m sure for her boutique business; the kids can be there. Plus, Zach’s hours may work with her’s; in that he’s home when she’s working. Many families do the same “juggle”!!!
DeleteWow. It's quite a stretch to say that the family doesn't do anything well at all.
DeleteNo shortage of willing babysitters? Who would babysit? Allie and Elli are probably overwhelmed with requests for help from Erin, Carlin, Josie, and Whitney. The boys don't babysit. Gil and Kelly are always traveling somewhere or in meetings for the show. I honestly think a smaller family would have more eager babysitters, because there wouldn't be so many babies.
Delete6:54- The Bates are not the only relatives. Whitney has parents.
DeletePerhaps Chaney didn't like her courtship proposal being filmed.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe she was looking down the road to having all the other parts of her life on film.
DeleteThey went to Charleston first. Then they went to Putac Cana
ReplyDelete@feb.26. Wrong. This blog, Carlin, and Evan all shared they went to DR first. Charleston was for Evan's birthday. Ellie, please share my post. I keep answering and it's not showing.
