All of Savaii and all of Upulo went to TC prepared for the rock draw: does everyone have the stones to go through with it? Well, actually, because Ozzy had II and Dawn had II and Whitney would be covered by HII, those three didn't have to worry at all, they wouldn't have to draw rocks if it came to it. Easy to say let's stand together and draw rocks when you yourself are exempted from drawing rocks.

So, 3 Savaii and all 6 Upolu went to TC understanding they prospectively would be drawing rocks. The two people caught in the tie could not participate in the second vote and were also then exempted from the rock draw if the tie couldn't be broken in the second vote, so okay I'll give Keith and Rick a pass, they didn't have to decide at that point, they couldn't decide anything.

Jim and the five voting Upolu all had the stones to not change their votes and risk the rock draw. Those six and Cochran were the ones who would have had to draw rocks, the other five wouldn't have.

So, Jim was the only Savaii to prove he had the stones to do it.

(If you think that's complicated, just try figuring out the part of the Survivor contract covering three-way ties and three-way ties becoming two-way ties.)
