With Alyssa Farah Griffin on maternity leave, Chrisley Knows Best star Savannah Chrisley stepped in as the conservative voice on The View. It didn’t go the way she imagined.

“I came into this with some ideas of what was going to happen,” Chrisley admitted later on the show’s Behind the Table podcast. “I thought Whoopi and Joy were going to be a pain in my ass and just these mean women. And I was wrong… Yes, I was wrong, and I went into this, and it goes to show: stop judging.”

Generally liberal co-host Joy Behar, in particular, was different than Chrisley expected.

“Joy and I had a blast off camera. I mean, she’s hysterical, and she was asking me about my parents. She was like, ‘What did they go to prison for?’ I go, ‘Joy, you should know. You called them “tax cheats.”… It’s the funniest thing, though. Like, you literally tell her something, and she talks about it, and then she forgets it.”

Co-host Sunny Hostin, a former federal prosecutor, was a surprise of another sort.

“I’m the only one at the table who believes differently. I thought there was going to be some contention. Day 1 was a little iffy. Sunny and I, we didn’t have words, but during a commercial break it was conversation about my parents, and she was like, ‘Well, didn’t a jury convict them?’ And I was like, ‘Did you know that prosecutors were spewing false information and there was Fourth Amendment violations, Brady violations?’ So there was a little hostility there. She’s a prosecutor, so I was like, ‘I’m not a fan of hers.’ But then today she and I had a conversation off camera. She was like, ‘Well, I didn’t understand this.’ And I was like, ‘I am sorry if I came off as defensive. It’s obviously my family and I’m always going to defend them.’”
