Mark the Chicken was a chicken on Survivor: Kaôh Rōng and he was originally a member of the Gondol (Beauty) tribe. Mark joined the Gondol tribe along with Jeff the Chicken after Gondol won an early reward. Although Jeff was killed by the human members of the tribe and eaten, Mark was spared, with his leg tied up.
After a week into the game, Mark was untied and stuck around camp. Due to Tai’s insistence, the Gondol tribe kept Mark alive. In order to ensure they wouldn’t kill Mark, Tai spent a lot of his time searching for food, making sure everyone had a full belly. Although some felt they should eat Mark, the other members of the tribe stopped seeing him as food and as a member of the tribe. Mark spent a lot of his time clucking around doing his own thing.
Mark managed to make the merge. Although some of the tribe mates would whisper about eating him, he managed to avoid being slaughtered. He sometimes alienated himself by pecking some of his human tribe mates, including Aubry. According to Aubry, Mark would crawl under the bamboo shelter and peck at them at night, giving them an awful massage. Mark ultimately outlasted everyone and made it to the Final Tribal Council, where he answered no questions and received zero votes. Jeff Probst summoned Tai to release Mark back into the wild following the Final Tribal Council, as his human tribe mates traveled back to the United States.
Mark the Chicken was named after executive producer Mark Burnett, with his chicken-mate Jeff being named after Probst. Mark’s current status is unknown, but he was initially taken in by Columbian locals. He was not seen during the filming of Survivor: Cambodia, which filmed after Koah Rong. Tai’s treatment of Mark and other creatures led to pop singer and wig-enthusiast Sia to give Tai a combined $100,000 to himself and the charity of his choice.
A true strategic mastermind. He was able to outwit, outplay, and outlast all the other chickens in all 33 seasons, becoming the only one to reach endgame! Move out of the way Russell Hantz, Parvati Shallow, Rob Mariano, and Cirie Fields! Mark is #1!
