Something about the ritual that I need clarified

They have the whole jock and virgin and fool and slut and brain set up they have to go by to satisfy the Gods or whatever. But where does it say in the ritual that it has to be those specific five people to satisfy the archetypes? I know they chose them and set the whole thing up to kill them. But when Marty and Dana got into the underground and all the people started getting massacred by the creatures that were set loose, that's where my confusion stems from. Are you telling not one of those people that was killed was enough of a "fool" to satisfy the role and finish the ritual? Were they not eligible because they weren't the ones "picked"? Or did it just not work because their blood wasn't put into the carvings in that underground chamber?

I'd say its that they weren't eligible because they weren't the ones picked and sent into the cabin setting to 'entertain' the viewers.
For a while I was also confused by which of the 9 year old Japanese schoolgirls were to be the brain, whore and athlete, but I assume the point is each nation's horror films have different tropes/criteria which would fit in with the apparent point made in the film that US and Japanese horrors are 'the best' and 'win every time'.
I had no idea what this film would be like and was put off balance by the initial appearance of Whiteford and Jenkins. Overall pretty good stuff that makes me surprised why Buffy left me stone cold.
