rspec

Hi,
I am trying to get the following spec to run:
describe BlacklistController, "GET index" do
  it "should display the list of universally blocked numbers" do
    get :index
    debugger
    assigns[:blocked_numbers].should contain "190"
  end
end
Here's the action
  def index
    @blocked_numbers << "190"
    respond_to do |format|
      format.html
    end
  end
And the failure simply says that assigns[:blocked_numbers} is nil. Why's that?
