‘Survivor 49’s MC Chukwujekwu reveals unseen race conversation with Jawan

“Survivor 49” star MC Chukwujekwu is shedding light on the real reason she got voted out.

The 30-year-old exclusively told The Post about a conversation that she had with Jawan Pitts about race. The moment, which didn’t make the edit, led in part to Chukwujekwu being unanimously voted out on last night’s episode.

“So Sophie [Segreti] told me that she wanted to put that vote on Jawan, and after sending Nate [Moore] home previously, my heart did not feel good about doing that,” Chukwujekwu explained.

“I watched Season 42, and I saw how there was multiple black people in a row getting put on the jury, and I didn’t want that to happen again because it made me feel horrible watching it,” she continued.

Chukwujekwu said that during her “out-of-game conversation” with Pitts, 28, she warned him Segreti, 31, planned to vote for him, but promised Pitts that she was on his side.

“So it wasn’t just telling Jawan just to tell Jawan,” Chukwujekwu noted. “There was so much more to it. And I know some people might say, ‘Oh, you’re playing a game for 1 million dollars, don’t bring race into it.’ But I think people that are not people of color or black, they’re not going to understand that this is always a chip on your shoulder that you have to deal with.”

“Jawan, even though he said he wasn’t going to tell people, he ended up telling other people, and that made it get messy and led to the result that it did,” Chukwujekwu added.

The Texas native also called Pitts’ decision to rat her out and then vote her off “very hurtful.”

“People ask me, were you upset with Sophie S for voting for you?’ And I’m like, no, because it was the game. But this was out of the game,” Chukwujekwu said. “And maybe shame on me for trying to have an out-of-game moment in the game, but I felt like we were on the same page. So yeah, it was extremely hurtful that I was protecting him and I was on his side and he didn’t do the same for me.”

When asked if there were other conversations about race on the island, Chukwujekwu, who is now the second member of the jury, teased, “At this moment, no. At this moment, there wasn’t. That’s all I’ll say.”
