I didn't see the full interview, but CBSNews has some of it online -- including two interview clips as well as a transcript of something they called the "pre-interview")The information seems to match his live chat.

Excerpts:
Q: Did you think you were safe since you are strong and a man?
A:I knew I was voted off early on the third day. Love's a beautiful thing, no doubt about it. Gina and Hunter were falling in love ,and Rob and Sarah, and that created two couples right off the bat. Sean and V share a love of scripture. When we hit the island, there were three couples, and this was more Temptation Island than Survivor. Tricia was playing the mom role. I told her I couldn't call her mom. I looked in everyone's eyes after we lost the challenge and could tell it was me. No one would make eye contact with me.
Q: Why did you want to have a strategy meeting after tribal council?
A:To try and take as many people as possible into the jury. I didn't care if I made it or not. And when I left, there were three separate teams.
Q: Were you disappointed that the group didn't take you as their leader?
A:No. I really felt that the leader would need to unify the team, and I wasn't so sure if Hunter was the right one. That wasn't one tribe; it was three separate ones.
Q: Did you try and align with him?
A:I told myself I wasn't going to be part of an alliance. For a couple of reasons. I went in there, and I don't like doing things behind people's backs, and it would seem disingenuous. But then again, I was voted off first. Part of me thought that Mark Burnett would switch teams right away. The love was real you could smell it.
Q: Was there physical romance going on?
A:Their electromagnetic fields were merging, if you know what I mean. It's a beautiful thing, but I saw it as a deterrent. It wasn't for television either. It was real.
Q: They didn't even know each other?
A:Someone's getting a promotion. Whoever it was in casting. I remember when we were in the gym in Los Angeles before we could even speak to each other and I remember Hunter and Gina connecting. There was something there right away.
Q: Did it disappoint you that Sarah didn't help with the rowing?
A:She was sick, and I tried not to get judgmental. And I felt myself being too serious about this game. I vowed once I knew it was time to go, I would just accept it. I would not try and take someone else out. The day after tribal council, I saw their faces and went into the woods to have a talk with myself and agreed that I would accept it.
Q: He (Rob) didn't have a problem voting you out.
A:If I was falling in love, maybe I would do the same thing.
If this guy is to be believed (which I question) there are definitely at least two romantic couples, as well mention of possible existing alliances
