One of them was a couple named Kim and Josh Zabec, who claimed that the show made them look like amateurs when, in fact, they were already successful homesteaders.
Raney's helped them fix their farm in the episode after the pigs ruined it.
However, later, the pair claimed they already knew how to fix the problem, but the show made them call the Raney's for help.

Both the Raney family and the production have not commented on the topic.
