RSpec: Using view.should_receive with subject

Any ideas why this works:

it {view.should_receive(:update_method)}

but this doesn't?:

subject { view }
it { should_receive(:update_method) }

Everything else being the same. I get this error:

Failure/Error: it {should_receive(:update_method) 
(#<RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested_1:0x7faf27602d58>).update_method
    expected: 1 time
    received: 0 times

But I don't know what RSpec::Core::ExampleGroup::Nested.... is referring to. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
