Pitts was voted off during the Wednesday, Nov. 26 episode, placing in 8th. He was the fourth consecutive Black cast member to be eliminated, following Nate Moore, Michelle “MC” Chukwujekwu, and Alex Moore.
“First off, it was a topic of discussion out there,” Pitts said, noting he spoke about it with a fellow Black contestant on the island. “Me and Kristina [Mills] had a back and forth about it.”
However, he said he doesn’t believe there were “any alternative motives” in how the boot order played out.

"So that ask at Tribal Council started with what was happening at camp as we were prepping for Tribal Council. So whenever Sophie told me that she was going to put a vote on Jawan, I didn’t want to do that," she said. "It messed with my heart a little bit. Because, just in case, somehow the vote on Jawan did send him home, I did not want to have or see two Black people in a row on the jury."
Chukwujekwu was ultimately voted off that night, but noted that Pitts let her know ahead of time so that it wasn't a surprise. Along with Chukwujekwu, Pitts also voted for Nate and Alex to leave the game.
In his interview with New York Post, Pitts said he wanted to address “the elephant in the room” regarding the fact that he voted out Black contestants.
“When MC comes to me and talks, she really confides in me like, ‘Hey, I do not want to see another black person on the jury.’ And I was like, ‘Hey, thank you so much. I appreciate you,'” he explained. “I took matters in my own hands not to target MC. I want to make sure me and her see another day.”
“Every decision I made out there was about my family,” he said. “I’m a broke dude from South Jersey. I live in L.A. My bills do not stop. But I just thought this was my one opportunity that have a safety net for my siblings. So every decision I made moving forward, I put that to that scale.”
