LATEST THEORIES

Red John seems to be a narcissitic and really intelligent Psychopath.
Wikipedia says the following points are typical characteristics of such psychopath:
-Glibness/superficial charm
-Grandiose sense of self-worth
-Pathological lying
-Cunning/manipulative
And thats exactly how I and I think most of you see Red John.. No weaknesses, a bit intimidating, powerful.
It would be a dissapointing finale if a person like Bertram, Minally, or also Brett Pettridge (he can't be red john: http://youtu.be/k26u5EOWWTU ) was Red John. The only person having those charcteristics so far is Brett Stiles (and Jane but he isn't red john; would be too dissapointing, too).
There are enaugh episodes with him that the audience will know him, he is a good friend and competitor of Jane and Jane and Bret know each other for longer.
Thats of course no proof that he is red john but maybe proof that the other suspects are unlikely red john.

I don't think RJ is a specific person. I think RJ is an idea influenced under a few people, or even a larger group of people. Whether that group is under the influence of vizualize, I don't know, but I do know that RJ can't be one single person.

This isn't a theory, but it's something I'm noticing.

Go back through any episodes you care to re-watch, from as far back as you can. Notice how many times you hear the word "visualize," used in conversation, either in interrogation or otherwise.  In the past week I've noticed it twice, once from the episode "Red Badge" (spoken by Roy Carmen) and once in the episode "Red Gold" (spoken by Wes Atwood). 

This can't be a coincidence.  Visualize is a big part of the puzzle, folks.

I think that Lorelei didnt know the real RJ, she thought that Kirkland was RJ because he is RJ's right hand and Kirkland her everytime, probably talkin like he were RJ. It's also posible that he did something similar with Jason. I dont think that the writers will give that obvious clues(the handshake thing and that scene at the hospital)

We all don't know, who actually RJ is but I'm 100% sure that it IS NOT Jane.
Maybe with some special effects they can give Simon Baker(Jane) another role as Jane's twin and he can play a second role at the final chapter. Why a twin(because RedJonh is as clever as Jane)
