'Survivor': The Final Four

Tears And Surprises Ahead In "Survivor" Finale

It seemed that it would have been so easy for the women to form an alliance; they had the opportunity and the motive, so why didn't they unite?

"Because Katie and Jenn were not playing to win at that point," Caryn explains. "They were playing, maybe, to be the runner-up. The only way to really win is to make moves. And neither one was really willing to make a move. They were really going to be led along and told what to do, and not take charge, and not really start making the decisions. So it didn't work. Again, the women lost an opportunity to oust the men."

And even thought she was close to Tom, Caryn says she never had an alliance with him.

"We had a friendship and said we'd watch out for each other. It wasn't really an alliance," she says and clarifies that what she said at Tribal Council was the truth, even though they both disagreed on the conversation that took place at the beach.

She says, "There's always different sides to it, and everybody perceived it differently, but, yes, that is what happened. That is how I remembered it. I wasn't intending to lie at Tribal Council. I wanted everything out in the open."

So now the competition is among Ian, Tom, Katie and Jenn, and the way to victory is winning the challenges ahead, Caryn says.

"If the challenges can be such that one of the women can win, then that will be a different game from if the men keep winning immunity and control the game," she says.

As for her, Caryn says she has no regrets. "It was a great game. Loved the experience and would do it again in a heartbeat."

Don't forget, on Monday morning, the last "Survivor" will get the million-dollar winner's check on The Early Show.
