My MentalTwist Exegesis.

Jane knows he has been bugged and spied on in cbi. He used this to his advantage. Jane made two list. Both were fake. There is a real list as bruno heller said but i think it stayed in pjs mind or notebook. Kirkland takes the first one and red john knows this because of his people in the fbi. Red john thru spying with moles, and wire taps found out about janes other list.(who knows how) Jane purposively put on the list names of men he did not shake hands with as a trap. Or at least a few fake names. Jane knew rj would feast his eyes or ears on the second list so he faked it knowing this would reveal how rj got it. Revealing his identity to jane only. The first list was a trick. Making the second list look like the truth but there both tricks basically.

Red john thinks he's one step ahead because he believes he is watching jane plant a decoy and keep the real list when in reality jane is pulling a double move . Red john wants tiger tiger dealt with and uses jane to do so. Red john then plants the info for jane with Sophie miller . The info was descriptions of the tiger tiger members different neuroses. Jane knows this . Rj does not know jane knows this. Jane gathers the people on the list . Jane fakes macalister, styles , and haffners death to lower the list to two. Jane knows red john is waiting till the end to make his move ;) Reed smith is taken in and deemed not red john . Bertram is janes checkmate . This forces red johns hand for obvious egotistical reasons. Red john thinks jane believes its Bertram. Jane knows better . Next episode jane will decode the usb and find a secret tiger tiger safe meet up point at the church. Red john shows up after jane shoots Bertram. Jane chases him to the park. The rest is history.

If Red John isn't one of the 3 "burned" suspects, how do you explain that 3 bodies are identified after the explosion? If one of them escaped, who is the third body ?

I've kept up with many of the theories on here, with some discrediting others and some interpreting show clues and actor interviews.  I think I have seen valid arguments against each of the 7 suspects being Red John. Taking that into account, I have a feeling that most people are going to be let down.  Personally, if Red John is not Partridge, Bertram or Stiles, I'm going to be very underwhelmed.  How are the creators possibly going to convince us that one of these 7 men is a deeply evil, charming, nearly infallible genius?  Is it going to be satisfying to have someone simply revealed as Red John, and then have him be killed?  Aren't you going to be curious how he pulled off any and all of his crimes?  How he maintained his cover, attracted a legion of loyal followers, turned someone into a vegetable, and outsmarted Patrick at every turn? Do you think this is all going to be addressed?  I sure hope so.

SPOILERS concerning the show LOST below...
To me this reveal is reminiscent of the final season of LOST.  All that buildup, all those questions, and all the fans wondering how it would all tie together.  The big surprise - almost nothing tied together.  No explanations for anything.  Thanks a lot, Abrams and Lindelof.  Huge disappointment.

Don't get me wrong, I love this show, and I've been watching religiously since the very beginning.  I sincerely hope Bruno Heller has pulled off a masterpiece here, but my expectations are low.
