LATEST THEORIES

are you all smoking crack?
i mean please, dont be so frickin' stoopid!
after six years of hype and suspense you believe the shows producers firstly leak the finale to some idiot, that the idiot is allowed without fear of prosecution or breach of confidentaility clause to leak the plot and ending of the finale, and that CBS dont remove the link?
hello? planet earth to everyone...are you there?
doesn't anyone smell the faintest whiff of a mentalist twist here or are the beer fumes to over powering??
the obvious release of misinformation to get you all nashing your teeth and wringing your wirsts.
its a set up. sure as day.
in a twist you could almost predict the "spoiler" is simply Heller and CBS having a laugh at you.
can we all put our brains together and come up with at least one cell and think it through.
sheesh.  theres been some good theories. dont give in now!
ok, good nite.

I'm surprised so many people would believe that this would be the real episode.

They accidentally posted the real episode up on their own website two days before it aired?
Come on people!

I suspect, that BP was RJ in Hellers mind till season 6. But then fans figured it out too quickly, so he switched to another character which was there from the beginning. Less obvious plan B, I might say.
That is why nothing is explained. Clues don't entirely match. And the whole thing is rushed to the end. Even the last episode was about nothing most of the time. Unimportant events, feeling up the episode till the last showdown. Heller simply did not know, how to connect all those clues to McAllister, so he filled the episode with nothing really.
This is the only good reason for such a poor end of RJ.

I'm even more convinced now that RJ was originally Brett Partridge and Heller changed it, and screwed it up, because people figured it out. In the season two finale it doesn't look like anyone but Brett Partridge when paused as he slits the girl's throat. I guess he could be "doing RJ's dirty work" but imo it's more likely that RJ was changed.

Wait for a moment!
The first spoiler was that Partridge is Red John, after a lot of people said that the Sheriff is RJ. Everybody claim, he/she saw the episode. I believe it! It's possible they made alternate endings, so we can't be sure it's the real episode. The rest are the same in the episodes, except the identity of Red John! Jane kills Red John the same way etc. Yesterday I thought that Red John is Partridge, and I woke up in the morning, and i saw its Mcallister. So what the hell are going on? ( I'm from Hungary, so we are in the morning ). I hope the real episode will be different like that, which people spoilerd!

Ok, everyone stop! You're breaking the interwebs! You have not watched the real episode. Someone did in fact, post actual spoilers and you're all fixated on a rough cut leak. This smells suspiciously like red herring. Or at least, lay off the gloating emails just in case you've been duped.
