The View panel has never been to Burning Man, but after this year’s muddy disaster, it’s unlikely they ever will. During their first episode back this season, the co-hosts discussed the heavy rains that have left Burning Man attendees stranded at the Nevada festival for days.

Joy Behar, who introduced the topic, couldn’t hide her distaste for the event, admitting that she “couldn’t think of anything I would rather not do than that.”

And she wasn’t the only one.

Sunny Hostin told the panel she “didn’t understand the premise” of Burning Man, citing the lack of “bathrooms,” “food trucks” or “performances.”

Sara Haines took it one step further, claiming attendees of Burning Man had to “bring [their] own poop bucket,” but Ana Navarro swiftly corrected her, insisting that there are Port-a-Potties at the festival.

Her comment didn’t sway Haines, who shot back, “Same thing! Have you been in a Port-a-Potty? It’s a poop bucket! That’s what that is!”

Hostin continued the bathroom chat by noting that “you can’t leave anything behind” at Burning Man, but suggesting that attendees “must have left a lot of poop behind because everything backed up and they were pooping in buckets.”

While Behar had stayed silent, her expression said it all. As the camera swiveled to show her face, the longtime co-host scrunched up her nose in the disgust.

Meanwhile, Hostin continued, “It’s like a biohazard.”

Burning Man attendees were first told on Friday (Sept. 1) to shelter in place at the festival after heavy rains caused muddy, swampy conditions. They are finally leaving the festival after organizers lifted a driving ban yesterday (Sept. 4), per NPR.

Indeed, the Port-a-Potties at Burning Man did become “disgusting, muddy and almost-overflowing,” per USA Today, and Hostin and Haines weren’t joking about “poop buckets.” CNN notes that Burning Man attendees are encouraged to arrive with a “poop bucket,” specifically “a 5-gallon utility bucket with a lid and garbage bag liners.”

Despite the less-than-ideal conditions, plenty of Burning Man attendees didn’t seem too flustered by the rain and mud. One even told The New York Times, “The rain provided an amazing opportunity to walk, to move more slowly, to connect with people who you may not have,” adding, “There were many silver linings.”

The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
