Before anything had even begun, the judges already decided that four units would live and four would die. The trial was just to decide which ones it would be. It had nothing to do with whether we were guilty or not of unit crimes, or how any of us had conducted ourselves until then, or whether we showed group cohesion or were entertaining enough for the audience.
The trial itself was the conflict that the producers apparently wanted to see. I believe the outcome of the trial, in regards to the gray plague, would have been the same whether we all slaughtered each other, or whether we had all quietly awaited judgement. It didn't matter. Because the condition of "create conflict so we don't all fade" was already being satisfied by the judges themselves.
