THE View fans are furious as the hosts head out on a luxury beach vacation to film new episodes of their talk show.
Viewers have slammed them for flaunting their wealth while others are “struggling.”
The View that aired on Friday was pre-taped, as the hosts were busy getting ready to depart for their extravagant trip.
Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, and Sara Haines are hosting the daytime show from the Bahamas this upcoming week.
Over the weekend, the hosts were seen on social media living it up at the beach, relaxing in shaded lounge chairs, enjoying decadent drinks, and tasting delicious foods.
One fan sarcastically wrote on the TV personalities’ trip: “Awwww. How nice.

“Those who are struggling to put food on their tables and gas in their cars can see a vacation spot first hand on tv.”
Starting Monday, The View will be airing from the Baha Mar Resorts in Nassau, Bahamas.
The guest lineup for the week includes Tyra Banks, Simu Liu, Sherri Shepherd, Bowen Yang, Ne-Yo, and more.
The extravagant trip is to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary, after it premiered back in 1997.
It was all first announced back in May, when The View teased an “epic announcement” at the end of one of its broadcasts.
Fans were excited to see what it could be, whether it was a new permanent host or a massive giveaway for the show’s dedicated viewers.
Instead, it was to tell the audience that the hosts would be getting a luxury beach getaway.
On social media, fans blasted The View for teasing them and for flaunting the hosts’ vacation in their faces.
One upset Twitter user wrote: “For their big announcement, the View announced that they’re going to the Bahamas.
“They know all of us can’t go, but we can go to their site for information on tickets…… meanwhile I’ll be here, working from home while they enjoy their paid vacation.”
They added sarcastically: “Yay for everyone.”
Another said: “So let me get this right? I waited 58 minutes for this Epic Announcement which I thought was about a new co-host.
“And all y’all did was tell us about how ‘y’all’ are going to the Bahamas & how does that benefit us as the viewers, y’all didn’t even offer a sweepstakes?”
While The View hosts are able to celebrate their anniversary with their big Bahamas trip, they aren’t able to celebrate a Daytime Emmy win.
The show was snubbed at the award show on Friday.
The series lost out to The Kelly Clarkson Show, which cleared the board with a host of wins at the ceremony, but most noticeably in the category of Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show.
The Daytime Emmys loss came after The Celeb Report reported on The View’s plummeting audience figures.
According to Soap Opera Network, ratings for the week of June 6 reached 2,285,000.
For the same week in 2021, 2,360,000 viewers tuned in.

Ratings were even higher in 2020, as there were 2,586,000 fans watching.
The View moderator Whoopi has also faced backlash with fans over her controversial comments in recent months.
