The thing with ropes that help them get down to the tunnel has six slots, so obviously they went in two turns to bring down a total of 12 people. In a couple of establishing shots you can only ever see 12 at a maximum. Later on in the sacrificial chamber, 5 people can be seen left behind to get facehugged, which is too many considering that in the other group:

2 get killed by Predators (one strangely choke, one throwy spear)
1 falls through the floor and is facehugged
2 more get facehugged (Van Halen and Jewy rat Scotsman doctor)
1 Sebastian gets facehugged
1 Bishop killed by Predatumz
1 The dindu main character survives

That brings the away team up to at least 13 people unless I missed someone. How the hell?! Rushed production??

Agreed, the movie seemed rush, and now that you point it out.. there WERE too many Aliens to count the number of victims, so basically 8 aliens....BUT... if you saw the deleted directors cut, at the beginning there are aliens attacking the whalers when the predator wants to skin him.. so you wonder WHERE did those aliens go..!?!

BTW, you forgot the black dude who gets a net and speared by the predator :)
