On Episode 3 of Disaster Date, Nate finds out the hard way that his friend picked the wrong time of month to set him up. We followed up with the actress who played "Ms. PMS” to find out her favorite part of the prank and other inside info. Check it out:

The Mission: I wanted to get Nate to go the distance. I wanted him to be invested enough so at the end of this date he would do whatever I asked. I was trying to push his comfort zone.

Favorite Moment: By far the best part of this prank was watching Nate ask all the patrons for a tampon.

Planned vs. Spontaneous Tactics: I knew that I wanted to get my period and not have the proper remedy for it, but all the moodiness with the waitress and finding out that Nate was an EMT happened on the spot.

Shock and Awe: I actually couldn't believe how willing and helpful Nate was. He not only was willing to completely embarrass himself, but so sweet for offering to go and buy tampons for me. I've had boyfriends who wouldn't do that, ha!

Final Grade: I thought Nate was really nice and tolerant. He threw me for a loop by being in the medical profession -- he was so understanding of my mood swings. I didn't really feel bad about pranking him, but I did feel bad for the waitress ... Sorry girl.

++You also got a chance to witness the “Bruised and Battered" prank, in which Angela’s blind date was in a car accident just hours earlier and needs her help to eat, drink … and use the restroom. Hear from our actor what it was like fooling Angela, after the jump!

On Episode 2 of Disaster Date, Ashley’s blind date is a slacker surfer whose buddy Cruncher shows up like a tidal wave. We followed up with the actor who played the "Hardcore Surfer Dude” to find out his favorite part of the prank and other inside info. Check it out:

The Mission: I needed to be super believable as this surfer dude, so I decided to get into character the day before and I stayed up all night watching Sean Penn as Jeff Spicoli. I woke up and chugged a Coors Light and convinced myself I was gonna go hit the beach but first I had to stop off to meet some chick … I showed up to set in character and spoke to everyone as that guy. (I was actually worried the producers thought I truly didn’t care about my script or my job but I decided I just wanted be a dude who didn’t really care about anything but waves and free love.) My other goal was to have fun and let it all go once she arrived. It was one of the most fun dates for me because luckily I could tell she was totally not into guys like my character.

Favorite Moment: It was great trying to convince this girl that I was totally this guy, especially since I do not speak like that at all in real life and I can barely surf -- I’ve surfed three times in my whole life. I also loved demonstrating how to surf with my buddy “Cruncher” and falling over and knocking stuff off the table. This date was an acting dream come true.

Planned vs. Spontaneous Tactics: I’d say 99 percent of this date was spontaneous. I knew I had to use surfer lingo, and I knew my buddy and fellow actor Jeff Galante was going to enter, but other than that it was all improv and going with the moment. I didn’t want it to come across as shtick (i.e. a guy imitating a surfer). I wanted it to be so believable that she would think, “Wow this guy is a burn out!" so I decided to just go with what felt natural.

Shock and Awe: I felt that she was the perfect person to prank because she reacted exactly how you would hope: totally annoyed and in awe of my character's lack of ambition and dating etiquette. Mission accomplished!

Final Grade: She was a nice girl, but I didn’t feel bad at all because it was a very innocent prank. Other daters on this show got it way worse. I gave her an unforgettable story to tell friends forever! And she was totally cool after she realized it was a prank, so no emotional scars were left.

++You also got a chance to witness the “Nicotine Fiend” prank, in which Mike finds himself stuck on a blind date with a girl who just quit smoking, but the withdrawal is more than she can handle. Hear from our actress what it was like fooling Mike, after the jump!

On the premiere of Disaster Date, Frankie is set up with a gold-digging cat lover who orders everything on the menu and instigates a fight between himself and the waiter. We followed up with the actress who played this “Self-Absorbed Gold Digger” to find out her favorite part of the prank and other inside info. Check it out:

The Mission: My character for this date was actually the same character I used for my original audition. I played a snotty, OCD, wannabe celebrity. The mission was to be as rude, obnoxious, and pretentious as possible. I wanted to make Frankie feel so awkward and uncomfortable, that all he would want to do is run for the door!

Favorite Moment: I loved when Justin (who played the waiter) got into a fight with Frankie about the fact that I thought there were peanuts in my salad! I faked an allergic reaction and made Frankie scold Justin for trying to kill me. It was absolutely hilarious, and for a second I was almost sure Frankie was going to swing at Justin.

Planned vs. Spontaneous Tactics: One thing I loved about this particular date was the fact that I got to use so many props. The producers gave me a huge purse full of "tricks" to use throughout the date. I had a photo album of my cats, and made him talk to the pictures. I used hand sanitizer every five minutes and made Frankie use it as well. I pulled out a hypodermic needle to have Frankie stab in my heart if my allergic reaction stopped my breathing. All of the props really made this date fun, but some of the spontaneous stuff made for the best laughs! For example, making him feed me, exercise around the table and attempt to get him to apply to work at the restaurant were all thought of on the spot.

Shock and Awe: To be honest, I couldn't believe that Frankie put up with me and dealt with the situation as well as he did! He did EVERYTHING I asked him to do! I thought for sure he would tell me I was crazy and run out the door at some point, but he stuck it out the entire date! What a trooper!

Final Grade: I thought Frankie was awesome. He was so great at handling the Disaster Date, and trying to keep the awful situation under control. Every time I made him say or do something embarrassing, I felt horrible! I just had to keep telling myself, "He'll think this is funny after the reveal". Every guy deserves to be messed with a little, and this time he got to walk away with cash for surviving ... so I guess I can't feel too bad, right?!

++You also got a chance to witness the “Hypochondriac Germaphobe” prank, in which a total germaphobe has a meltdown when the restaurant isn’t sanitary. Hear from him what it was like fooling Amanda, after the jump!
