Bachelor contestant Sydney Hightower (open in new tab) won the heart of Bachelor's Peter Weber early on and has been involved in some drama this season!

That's odd, isn't it?" you'd think the show, which loves to explore every aspect of drama imaginable, would have totally dug this tidbit, asking Brown about Hightower and vice versa. And yet, there is absolutely nothing about it. Even though Hightower attended the exact same date (open in new tab) as Brown and won a rose on that date. Hmmm.

Hightower and Brown both went to Tuscaloosa County High School and graduated at the same time, according to the Tuscaloosa News (open in new tab) (Brown was class vice president and homecoming queen (open in new tab)). Hightower is not keeping this a secret, but she doesn't seem to want to make a big deal about it either. She posted Chris Harrison's self-introduction, in which she mentions it:

However, it was never mentioned on the show, nor have I seen her talk about it on social media. Brown has made two cameo appearances on the show so far. Did they not get along?" does Hightower not want to be known as "the girl who knew Hannah"? Certainly she talks about her past, including how difficult it was to grow up biracial in the South, so we know she's not afraid to tell Weber about herself. (Perhaps she doesn't want to mention her unpleasant younger years, because that would be a little too much for her.) Also, there is no girl on this show who exactly loves Brown right now, after Brown has been distracted and distracted by Weber (lol). Or maybe they just know each other and never really connected. But then why did the show bring it up in the first place?

Huh? Yes, Hightower and Brown both went to the University of Alabama. The University of Alabama is a huge university (33,000 students), so one would not necessarily expect two people from a class of over 8,000 to see each other a lot. However, the second similarity is interesting. Again, the two must have at least known each other.

Obviously, this is not the same as Hannah Ann Suras and Hannah Godwin being good friends (open in new tab) and always posting pictures together.
