I'm pretty sure the college kid (winner) has been through at least two rounds of the 'game'. Eventually, there will be just one person left on Earth.
False: all conservatives are stupid people;
True: most stupid people are conservative
That's what I was thinking. The game gets played over and over again. And he's a master game played. I took his look as sizing up the competition.
shareIt's the rapture, just not the Christian one where the meek inherent the Earth.

I am not completely sure myself but this is how i see it,
The guy that is left, timed his voting for the woman at just the right time that the girl would be stepping off the spot so, woman dies by majority vote, girl sacrifices herself, he lives.
look around you, in your work place.
shareThe aliens obviously wanted to thin the human population and they forced humans to make the decision about who gets to stay on the planet.
The ending was kind of a survival of the fittest in the group, and it was implicated that there were many groups, many different standards of 'fit'.
In the very end, outside of the spaceship, we can see that among the survivors from other groups there actually were little children. So it's likely that in some groups there were different standards of 'fit' and / or no liars and cheaters.
This Eric guy was clever and even ready to lie and cheat little children in order to save his own life. He probably started calculating from the very beginning.
The aliens obviously didn't care about the moral standards by which humans made the elimination. They let humans do it for them.
The ending solution was that in the new, smaller human population there were pregnant women, children, honest men and so on, and probably a generous amount of cheaters, too :D
The main point of the film, though, was the question of the value of human life: is a young person more valuable than an old? is someone who contributes to society by working more valuable than an unemployed person? is someone who's physically violent less valuable than someone who hasn't used physical violence? etc.

the ending isn't what it may appear in my opinion, the last person left was returned to earth not because they "won" but because they lost.
the people playing were not killed, they were stunned and taken aboard the ship.
the one left would be the one that displayed the most despicable and selfish traits.
it's a reverse on how it actually may appear , but i think it makes the most sense.
the study therefore has a purpose and a reason.
interesting movie.
Then that would mean the pregnant woman in the ending, voted for her unborn child. She was still huge, so the unborn baby didn't get dragged from the woman's womb to join the others. In our group, when the unborn baby got zapped, it didn't get pulled from the mother's womb either like the rest of the group.
shareI would have sacrificed. The men in this movie were cowards. Who would vote to kill a little girl? I might have stayed in long enough to try and kill those scum off.
