Just wondering why is Jon Bello being allowed in all these MLE contests without signing a contract?

Hector Alcosta is a Lieutenant in the Salvation Army and represented them today (from the facebook live video).

Some observations:
Doug Ecks and Jon Bello are both wearing black gloves.
Michelle Lesco brought Starbucks coffee with her to use to dunk.
Sam Barclay used the same line to introduce Joey Chestnut as in mutton gluttons.
There was an uncomfortable long pause as Barclay waited for the eaters to get their cups and drinks ready.
Carlene pushed her way to the front, as usual.
Rich didn’t appear to cheat this time. And when that happens, Michelle Lesco beats him.

Barklay recites the redundant one liners with George Shea in the office a few days before the contest to insure Barklay has it down to a science
