    Krause, who has two teenagers, is still a bit uncomfortable with cameras following their every move on Stanger's long-running reality show. "That was just so crazy because I've never experienced anything like it before in my life," he told Spencer.

    "I felt like such a moron for not knowing who she was," Krause continued. "I remember calling her the next day, saying, 'My God, I feel like such a fool.'"

    Stanger said she was inspired to try online dating after her pals Jenny McCarthy and Ricki Lake gave it a shot. "They said, 'Listen, I didn't meet The One, but I had a great time,'" the slimmed-down star recalled. "You get older in life and you're like, 'Where do I meet people anymore?' Everybody's hooked up and there weren't that many catches in L.A. I said, 'I have to expand my net,' and I expanded it to Orange County. For an L.A. person, that's a big deal!"
