For me, the only TRUE payoff to the RJ storyline is if one of Jane's closest people turns out to be RJ (Cho, Rigsby, Van Pelt, etc...)
I'd like to think that Red John is smart enough NOT to let himself be narrowed down to 7 (obvious) people.
I'd like to think that Patrick Jane is smart enough NOT to tell Lisbon the 7 names cause he KNOWS she would go tell everyone on the team (unless that's what PJ wants her to do, knowing that its someone on the team)
I'd like to think that Bruno Heller is smart enough NOT to tell us that only 7 possible people could be Red John.
