Not three days after the widely watched finale in which Evan Marriott picked Zora Andrich to share his life -- and a $1 million check -- there are rumblings that all is not well in the land of "Joe Millionaire," thanks, in no small part, to some statements from Marriott and Andrich in the latest PEOPLE cover story.

"Is it possible to find true love in just a month with someone?" Andrich, 29, tells the magazine. "I never rule out anything. But honestly, I think it would be highly unlikely. The chances of it are pretty slim."

She also admits to PEOPLE that she is put off by Marriott's apparent lack of compassion for the less fortunate.

Marriott, 28, meanwhile, says he was turned off by Andrich's seeming lack of appreciation for her surprise $500,000 windfall, and goes on to talk about the woman he didn't choose, Sarah Kozer, 29.

"Sarah and I got along like gangbusters," he says, "got along better than a lot of ex-girlfriends I've had."

Should Andrich indeed fall out with Marriott -- the two are due to appear on a "Joe" update on FOX next Monday -- she can conceivably take comfort in the arms of her ex, hunky New Jersey landscaper Tony Ercolano, who tells Thursday's New York Post that he still carries a torch for Evan's new girl.

"I'm still in love with her and I always will be," Ercolano tells the paper. "She still loves me. We have a great relationship. In fact it's probably better now than it's ever been ... We're still very affectionate."
