That may have been part of it, but I think the real thing is that Fabio
wanted Jane gone. If you remember, Fabio was the one who suggested to Chase that Jane should go. Sash, Chase and Holly seemed to be assuming that Dan would be the one to go. Chase said that to Fabio, but Fabio was the one who said "No, it should be Jane" and then the alliance of three decided this was the best time to get Jane out since it had to happen sooner or later.
I had to rewind a few times to catch it, but when Jane puts the fire out and it goes to slo-mo before the commercial, you can see a smile starting on Fabio's face.
Fabio knows his only chance is to win immunity, because Sash, Chase and Holly will stick together. They said so last night. (I just do not understand these people who feel the need to lay it all out at TC.) But he also knows that if he does win immunity and make to it the Final 3, he doesn't want to be there with Jane. She is seen as a bigger Final 3 threat than Holly. So, it's in his best interest to get Jane out, especially if it can be done in a way that assures that she'll
never vote for Sash, Chase or Holly. Having her go out before the Final 4 does just that. If he makes it to the Final 3, he has her vote and he might pick up the votes of some others.
There's simply no way that Fabio could come out on top based on strategy, going against the alliance of Chase, Sash and Holly. So the task for him is to (1) win immunity and (2) try and make sure jurors have a reason to vote for him over the other 2 in the Final 3.
I said out the outset I didn't think he was as dumb as he was coming across.
