First. We can't ASSUME just because BERTRUM is listed as appearing in episode 8 that he's Red John. I'm pretty sure through my other series experiences that the "guest" list on IMDB doesn't mean poopoo
Anyway. There are a few things that have come to light that DO INDEED strongly suggest BERTRUM, but I really hope he isn't.
First off. Can we believe ANYTHING that Heller has told us???? If Heller ISNT a liar, then I can't see BERTRUM being Red John.
He said its a WHERES WALDO kind of reveal. How could the head of the CBI be concidered a "Waldo". Really???
He said "People will be disappointed" when they find out who RJ is. I think that takes away even more.
Lastly. With the IMDB thing. Suppose that there's a "twist" killer. Obviously he won't be listed on IMDB, but BERTRUM may be listed because he just isn't dead!!! Maybe he's arrested and the team interrogates him over Tyger Tyger!!
My official percentages.
BERTRUM 36%
Partridge 23%
Smith 14%
McCallister 9%
Stiles 9%
Haffner 8%
Other 1%
