Head-On Collision Between 2 Bates

Gil Bates waits outside the hospital

When a head-on collision with Warden Bates leaves Trace Bates in bad condition, it's time for a visit to the emergency room. And it just so happens that Tori Smith is in the hospital at the very same time, preparing to deliver Kolter Smith. You know what they say, when it rains it pours. Or, when one of your 19 children ends up in the hospital, another is sure to follow. 

You won't want to miss tonight's new episode of Bringing Up Bates, scheduled to drop on UPtv at 9pm ET/8pm CT.

  3. Scared me! I thought it meant they had a head-on car accident. Thank goodness it was just playing basketball!

  4. A head-on collision refers to a traffic accident. Confusing.

  5. Don't those young men have jobs? It's all play, play, play for the Bates.

    1. I was thinking the same thing. They seem awfully lazy for a family that preaches about hard work.

    2. Yes,they work for Gil's tree cutting company,they work hard and play hard unlike many boys who grow up playing video games and end up getting easy sedentary jobs,the Bates boys weren't brought up to be lazy.

    3. Warden was 16 when this was filmed and still in school.

      The show has covered what Trace does, works in construction and part time with the sheriff's department.

    4. They do have jobs. Trace works in law enforcement and also works with Chad's construction company. Warden also works for Chad's construction company. The TV show does not give a 24/7 view of their lives. They are allowed to enjoy time off with friends and family, no rules against it. The show likes to show more of the fun play than the boring work they do. Please do not be harsh on them. God bless you.

    5. They are actually pretty hard working people but this was during the quarantine so no, probably not working at the time.

    6. Yes they do have jobs. Quit being so judgmental

    8. NOT, don't you watch the news, Lawson is in Texas helping with the hurricane victims as are a few others, if you can't say something nice don't watch the show. 🤐

    11. They all work in the family tree business.

    12. Maybe you should watch the episodes where they talk about their jobs and training.

    13. “Helping with Hurricane Laura” is a job? Really? Who is your employer? Are there retirement benefits?

      Delete
    14. It’s odd that Gil’s tree cutting business has no internet presence, no reviews, no website. And yet it supports a family of 12+, and employs so many sons.

      Delete
    15. Not sure where everyone learned Lawson and maybe other Bates are helping victims of Laura? I do think what people are asking is: what do these young men do for daily work? Is it working the tree business; is it the reality show; is it music; is it piloting??? Honest questions without any factual answers! Volunteering is awesome; but doesn’t pay the bills!!!

    16. @4:51 What is a “sedentary “ job?

  6. As a mother of boys I understand that awful feeling of another trip to the hospital!! Never a full moment with boys.

  8. Praying for a complete and speedy recovery. Been a fan since I first saw your family guest starring on the Duggars show. God Bless all of you. Thanks for the blessing's.

  9. A head on collision is a horrific traffic accident. Very happy Trace and Warden are fine, but that headline was not ok.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Glad they are OK. Often such a game related hit is still a brain injury event. Err on the side of caution.

  11. I don’t think the injury really warranted a trip to the hospital. It didn’t need stitches. I would be more concerned that Trace would be exposed to the coronavirus in the crowded ER. But, of course, I wasn’t there and didn’t see Trace. That’s why it’s good it’s the decision of the parents and not the viewing audience. 😏 I feel, sometimes, I get too nervous about the virus. I’m trying to put it in a better perspective. I don’t want to let that dictate my life.

  12. Having Addee take care of Kade is not keeping them from exposure since she lives with her parents. They might as well have had Tori and Bobby over.

  13. Praying for you guys! I know that head-on with the boys heads was scaredy!!

  16. A sedentary job is a job that does not involve physical labor; like office jobs/ customer service answering phones; on in which you sit a lot at a desk or a counter.
