The new poll asks who you think is better off signing the MLE contract. My understanding of the standard contract (which might be wrong) is that signees give up not only the right to participate in non-MLE eating contests and challenges, but cannot earn money from food / restaurant marketing without permission. In return, they receive a higher chance of getting contests spots, a ranking and travel expenses, but get nothing guaranteed.
