Bringing Up Bates: Mystery Behind Bates’ Home Addition
Fans noticed a clue that TLC could’ve paid for Bates’ home addition. This was brought up in the Duggar Reddit because of the shocking revelations from the Amazon docuseries Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets.
Jill Duggar revealed that she wasn’t paid for her appearances on the show. She signed a contract without reading it when she was a teenager.
Her father Jim-Bob Duggar kept most of the profits to himself. He never shared it with his family. Most TLC families would receive around $1,000 per season.
The Bates claimed they struggled to pay for groceries. Some fans noted they received $1,000 from TLC to feed their children. It’s also possible that TLC paid for their new home addition.
The user BasicSwiftie13 posted on Reddit: “Did TLC pay for the Bates’ house additions? I was watching the story arc I guess you could say in Season 3 of 19KAC where the Duggars and Wilsons helped the Bates turn their small house into a big one. I’m wondering if TLC paid for their $1,000 grocery trip and all the construction costs.”
According to the Bringing Up Bates spoilers, they made an appearance on Season 3 of 19 Kids and Counting. Both the Duggars and the Wilsons helped to pay for their home addition. TLC could’ve paid for their expensive grocery bill.
Jill admitted in her memoir that TLC paid for their groceries on the spinoff series, 14 Children and Pregnant Again. They also paid for her wedding and trip to Thailand, and Josh and Anna Duggar’s honeymoon.
Bringing Up Bates: Bates Needed TLC’s Money
Fans took to the thread to share their thoughts. Most believed that the Bates needed TLC’s money. This could be the reason behind their brief reality stint. One fan wrote: “Considering the Bates ended up on TLC (however briefly), probably.”
The Bringing Up Bates spoilers suggest there are more questions than answers. Some fans want to know more about how that season played out. It’s also impossible to build a home addition without housing permits.
It was clearly planned for the show since they had to know what they were adding to their home. It’s hard to believe that Jim Bob would pay out of his pocket for Bates’ new home.
Gil Bates struggled with his finances. It’s likely that TLC paid for it, but made the Duggars and Wilsons look as if they forked over the money. What are your thoughts on Bates’ home addition? Do you think TLC paid for it? Sound off below in the comment section.
