I think RJ is Adrian Monk. He's been killing people on the Mentalist to get even for them ripping off his TV show.

Hey haven't had time to read through all comments here so apologies if my theory mirrors anyone else's - I think after the season 5 finale that the 7 names is defo a red herring and that red John has come up with list after reviewing Janes fake info that he left for Bob K to find in the CBI loft. (As Loreli was already dead he prob edited video and had her say a lot more names - video editing not big deal for a murderous genius) I think that red John is Alex Jane who will actually turn out to not be Patricks real dad and his motive will be all to do with anger regarding his wife cheating and Jane being better mentalist that him etc etc! We may even find out Janes wife cheated on him too n red John feels he's done him a favour - cannot wait to find out!
I believe that Bertram is Red John.
Bruno Heller said that the list was real. Technically, Patrick only named one person on his list and that was Bertam (when he was talking to Lisbon in the car). The rest of the list, albeit from PJ's pictures, were read by Red John....so that is Red John's list, not PJ's. Meaning that Bertram was the only one cleverly mentioned straight from PJ.
Just my theory....
In my opinion Red John is not one person alone rather a group of people ie.something like a terrorist organisation.The level of ingenuity,the planning behind every homicide is so precise and perfect.This is not something that can be accomplished by one person alone.
Although many people throughout the show they have been referred to as "Red John's Friends".They are just people who have this collective motive of killing people and bringing about terror!

Apparently name definitions are very important to Bruno Heller. Check out this interview question answered by the creator himself:
"Q: Can you tell us why The Mentalist's name is Patrick Jane?
BH: Hello! This is the first time that someone asks me this question, and this needs to be developed. Primarily, Patrick is a good old Irish name and I adore it. Moreover, his surname -Jane- is a woman's name, an aspect that I wanted to sneak in his identity, because his personality is gracious and seductive. Lastly, in English, Jane is pronounced "jaine", like an ascetic religion that extol the virtues of the
nonviolence. The Mentalist likes better other tools to reach his goals."
After looking up all the definitions for all 7 men on the list, only Gale Bertram's was of any significance:
Gale = strong wind (denotes mystery, elusiveness, and of course strength)
Bertram = "The name Bertram comes from the Germanic name Bertram, which is composed of the elements berht, meaning "bright" or "famous," and hrabn, meaning "raven." So basically a dark, brilliant, and famous creature--not to mention the notorious reputation of ravens in our culture.
As for all you pinning the red on Bret Partridge. Would Bruno Heller name Red John after a "plump game bird"?
PS: Check out the creepy music tone with the picture of Gale Bertram on the wall at the very end of the episode "If it bleeds, it leads" (Season 5, Episode 7) when Patrick exits with tea in hand. It illustrates perfectly how Bertram, like a raven on his perch, has his eye on everybody's back, from a position of prestige, advantage, and control.
Dexter Morgan is R.J. Patrik will get Dexter and both shows will end simultaneously........
I know, I know.... far from the truth, but wouldn't it be nice ?
