In a family with 19 children, big announcements are not all that uncommon, but they are always exciting. Late next week, the clan is going to reveal some Bates-sized news, so stay tuned!
I really hope that Michaela is finally expecting a baby. But it could also be that Whitney is having another baby (would explain why they did the vow renewal 6 months before the actual 5 year anniversary, if she's due around that time). Or either Josie/Kelton or Carlin/Evan (or both!) are engaged.
Either someone is pregnant or getting engaged. I tend to go for Carlin and Evan are engaged but I do hope it’s Michaela & Brandon are expecting.... we will find out soon 😊
The obvious choices are: Tori’s pregnant Josie’s engaged Carlin’s engaged
The truly biggest Bates announcement would be: Michaela is pregnant❤️ Lawson is courting Tori got a teaching position in a public school Josie got a job in a salon
Actually, (1) We already know Tori is pregnant, that was the last "Big Bates Announcement" and (2) Josie already has a job in a salon. So those are out. Another possibility is a baby gender reveal by Tori and Bobby but I think it's still a tad early for that.
Likely an engagement announcement from Carlin or even Josie but my heart TRULY prays and hopes that it's some baby news from Michael and Brandon. I would (literally) cry tears of joy to hear they're welcoming a little one into their lives! Infertility is SO hard and I know from personal experience that the mixture of emotions... being grateful to be an aunt and loving your nieces and nephews while longing for your own children... is so conflicting!
It remains a decent show because the material is fairly fresh and revelent, and not of ton of flashbacks. Adding more time could hurt the dynamic that works well.
I'm guessing Josie or Carlin's engaged. But I really hope Micheal is pregnant.. I know her and her husband have been trying for couple years and still nothing and they would be so happy.
I don’t think it’s a pregnancy announcement (but it could be baby Smith’s gender). I think it’s too early for a engagement. So my prediction is that someone’s courting.
Actually if Evan and Carlin get engaged after a 10 month courtship, this would be pretty consistent with prior courtships the Bates have had. I'm pretty sure the only one that lasted more than a year was Michaela and Brandon, and in their case there was no "dating in everything but name" pre-courtship period like the younger Bates have had.
And while Josie and Kelton have only been officially courting for 6 months they have known each other for 3 years, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear them announce an engagement either.
I have that same feeling. Josie and Kelton are both done with school and working. They've known each other longer than Carlin & Evan too so it's not surprising that they might move faster.
A big announcement is always an engagement or new pregnancy. The bates date for a while before courtship so I don't think it's a new courtship. Gender reveals are not considered an announcement. So here are my guesses in order of probability:
1. Josie is engaged 2. Carlin is engaged 3. Whitney is expecting 4. Michael is adopting or expecting
None of those would come as a big surprise except for the last one.
Ellie’s reference to Bates sized news makes me think it could be something bigger than just a gender reveal or engagement. Maybe both Carlin and Josie are engaged, maybe Tori is having twins, maybe Lawson scored a recording contract... it would be wonderful if Michael is pregnant or adopting a child. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
I would guess that Whitney is expecting which would be why they renewed their vows now. Otherwise she would be 8 months pregnant for their 5 year anniversary.
Thanks for leaving your comments! Our aim is to post all points of view, but we do not post anything that is profane, insulting, derogatory, or in poor taste.
Love this family, can't wait till next show
ReplyDeleteIt has to be about tori baby gender reveal or one of the girls are engaged
ReplyDeleteI really hope that Michaela is finally expecting a baby.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the announcement! It could be anything, cause with the bates family you never know! ☺
ReplyDeleteCarlin is engaged or Josie is engaged. Tori is already pregnant so that's out.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing either Michael is pregnant or Josie or Carlin is engaged.
ReplyDeleteJosie and Kelton are engaged :)
ReplyDeleteWonder if Gil and Kelly are expecting?!?
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. They are both over 50!
DeleteEither someone is pregnant or getting engaged. I tend to go for Carlin and Evan are engaged but I do hope it’s Michaela & Brandon are expecting.... we will find out soon 😊
ReplyDeleteWhere will it be announced??
ReplyDeleteLet's see: it's either 'get to know you', courting, engagement, marriage OR baby. There isn't much variation with these families, is there?
ReplyDeleteAlyssa, Tori, Whitney, Erin are all pregnant, due on the same day, all with triplets. Just my guess😉
ReplyDeleteMichel is having twins or Josie and Carlin get a double wedding.
ReplyDeleteThe obvious choices are:
ReplyDeleteTori’s pregnant
Josie’s engaged
Carlin’s engaged
The truly biggest Bates announcement would be:
Michaela is pregnant❤️
Lawson is courting
Tori got a teaching position in a public school
Josie got a job in a salon
Josie already has a job in a salon. She has been working there for months.
DeleteTori is pregnant. They announced that a few weeks ago.
It's your lucky day!
DeleteA Truly Big Bates Announcement: Josie has a job in a real salon. She's fully licensed and working for months.
Actually, (1) We already know Tori is pregnant, that was the last "Big Bates Announcement" and (2) Josie already has a job in a salon. So those are out. Another possibility is a baby gender reveal by Tori and Bobby but I think it's still a tad early for that.
DeleteI hope it is either a pregnancy for Michaela or Tori getting a teaching job.
DeleteTori is pregnant and Josie does have a job in a salon. Otherwise, the rest is fair game!
DeleteI think this announcement will be the gender of Tori’s baby. They were filming her gender reveal party over the weekend.
DeleteI was there! We probably know each other :)
DeleteI was there too. Do happy for the little boy.
DeleteNo way!! Cant wait
ReplyDeleteIt's probably that Carlin and Evan are engaged and will be married by the end of summer.
ReplyDeleteOh I love Bates sized news! I am curious as to if someone got engaged, Someone is courting, or if there is another baby on the way!
ReplyDeleteA baby would have to be Zach & Whitney or Michael and Brandon. Tori's already pregnant, Alyssa and Erin both just had babies.
DeleteAWWWW I HOPE MICHAELLA IS PREGGO
ReplyDeleteUgh. I can't stand the word preggo.
DeleteI can't stand the phrase baby bump. It is a baby and not a bump. So childish sounding and I am in my early 20s, the age group that says bump!
DeleteAnonymous at 1:30pm same, poor baby keeps getting called a bump
DeleteI hope the news is that Michaela is pregnant or preparing to adopt. She is going to make an awesome mother.
ReplyDeleteTime 8:58PM
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for that.
Me eitherrrr. Im on the edge of my seat.
DeleteI wonder if it will be another pregnancy? Or perhaps it will be another courtship?
ReplyDeleteoh fun! shall see
ReplyDeleteLikely an engagement announcement from Carlin or even Josie but my heart TRULY prays and hopes that it's some baby news from Michael and Brandon. I would (literally) cry tears of joy to hear they're welcoming a little one into their lives! Infertility is SO hard and I know from personal experience that the mixture of emotions... being grateful to be an aunt and loving your nieces and nephews while longing for your own children... is so conflicting!
ReplyDeleteYes it is! Real bittersweet a lot.
DeleteSame!
Deletei hope its something like hour long shows & more specials! cant get enough of this family!
ReplyDeleteSame this is my favorite show
DeleteIt remains a decent show because the material is fairly fresh and revelent, and not of ton of flashbacks. Adding more time could hurt the dynamic that works well.
DeleteBetter to want more than bored 😐
I'm guessing Josie or Carlin's engaged. But I really hope Micheal is pregnant.. I know her and her husband have been trying for couple years and still nothing and they would be so happy.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Carlin's engaged! Or Josie
ReplyDeleteI hope for Michael that she pregnant but I'm guessing an engagement or preganacy by Zach & his wife.
ReplyDeleteCan’t wait! I bet it’s the gender of Tori and Bobby’s baby!
ReplyDeleteThey need a girl.
DeleteI don’t think it’s a pregnancy announcement (but it could be baby Smith’s gender). I think it’s too early for a engagement. So my prediction is that someone’s courting.
ReplyDeleteActually if Evan and Carlin get engaged after a 10 month courtship, this would be pretty consistent with prior courtships the Bates have had.

I hope that Michaela is pregnant! But I'm guessing that Josie is engaged. I just have a feeling that she's going to get married before Carlin.
ReplyDeleteI have that same feeling. Josie and Kelton are both done with school and working. They've known each other longer than Carlin & Evan too so it's not surprising that they might move faster.
DeleteLove this family. Can't wait for the big news!
ReplyDeleteI think it is the gender reveal of Tori and Bobby's baby. I would love it to be that Michael is pregnant.
ReplyDeleteCarlin and Josie are engaged, Michael and Whitney are pregnant.
ReplyDeleteA big announcement is always an engagement or new pregnancy. The bates date for a while before courtship so I don't think it's a new courtship. Gender reveals are not considered an announcement.
ReplyDeleteSo here are my guesses in order of probability:
1. Josie is engaged
2. Carlin is engaged
3. Whitney is expecting
4. Michael is adopting or expecting
None of those would come as a big surprise except for the last one.

ReplyDeleteMy guess is Tori and Bobby's gender reveal.Or maybe it's twins!
ReplyDeleteI’m hoping one of the boys is courting, or that Michael is expecting - that would be wonderful news!! 💗
ReplyDeleteI know! Tori is having twins!! Can't wait to hear what it is. Love this family!
ReplyDeleteI would guess that Whitney is expecting which would be why they renewed their vows now. Otherwise she would be 8 months pregnant for their 5 year anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI am always hopeful it's Michael and Brandon are expecting
ReplyDeleteEvan is in the pic. But Josie isn't......?
ReplyDeleteWhen will the news be during the episode? [I hope cuz I don't have facebook.]
