Okay, so I agree with those who postulate that Red John isn't any of the 7 on the list. Here's why. We have to assume that at the end of the day, Jane will have bested RJ, outsmarted him. If it turns out that RJ is one of the 7, then Jane gets his man but never really gets that "aha!" moment where he tricks RJ. SO, I think that it will turn out that Jane KNEW that RJ would get his list, one way or the other, so he made up TWO dummy lists. One that he would call his real list, and one that he admits is his dummy list. He wouldn't even tell Lisbon about the real list, because we keep seeing how unreliable she is at keeping secrets. And he know that this would put her life in jeopardy if RJ knew that she knew. Since Jane doesn't believe in ESP, he knows there no way that RJ could read his mind, BUT, he led him to choose the 7 that he wanted him to think are on the list. This would throw him off the fact that Patrick is getting close, and Patrick IS getting close, using RJ's actions in response to the list to further whittle down his actual list. I sure hope that this is the case, none of the remaining suspects are attractive candidates. And, in the end, I think it will be someone else, hopefully, my boy Ellis Mars, who most RJ seekers see only on the surface, missing his hapless brilliance, for reasons pointed out in an earlier post.... Either way, enjoy the final shows!!
