As much as i really thought it was Brett partridge, he really did fit the profile.. and i do like the theory's that he pulled Lisbon over, i just don't think is plausible! if he did fit the profile SO well, Patrick would of figured it out before us... surely! 

In one the the first episodes, jane says red john is an artist, the first thing you see before you see is the bloody face, THEN and ONLY THEN do you see the body. Red john knows that when Patrick finds lisbon (unconscious i'm guessing + hoping) and brett, his attention will be straight to her (thus, seeing the face) then to the body Of brett partridge! So does make sense that red john drew it on lisbon

However i think the list may be fake, as Patrick was happy when he knew someone had broken into his room thing, however he looked terrified when red john red out the list! So now partridge is most likely dead, i have no idea who to suspect now!

Well, of the remaining 6 suspects, I believe that Bret Stiles is too old to be RJ, and that neither Gale Bertram nor Reede Smith fit the description of RJ given by the blind lady. (Can't remember her name.. Rosalind, perhaps?) Anyway, so that leaves Thomas McAllister, Bob Kirkland and Ray Haffner. I really don't think that we have seen enough of Thomas McAllister for him to be RJ, so I rule him out too. That leaves Bob Kirkland and Ray Haffner. I'm really haven't made my mind up as to which one I believe RJ to be.. I think the idea of RJ being more than one person isn't all that plausible, given that only ONE person saved Jane from those creepy teenagers.. And the fact that RJ has always been referred to as one man..

I loved the first episode of the series though!

Does anyone agree with me?

First, I hate long and boring theories, so I`ll try to be as
brief as possible.

For me, there are TWO possible theories:

1.      
The first one, which is insane and complicated
(but which, I confess, would satisfy me more) is that all this  7-suspects-list and Brett Partridge`s death are
bullshit, which means that Jane has some brilliant plan in mind and keeps the
REAL RED JOHN for himself. I mean, come on, doesn`t he always say “RED JOHN IS
MINE”? “MINE”, not Lisbon`s or, even worse, Van Pelt`s or the team`s. I mean,
Jane isn`t that stupid to make such a mistake by telling Lisbon the names,
knowing that she would probably want to put the suspects under surveillance. So
I think he orchestrated this intentionnaly, so this way HE will mislead Red
John, and not the opposite. Further than this I won`t go for the moment,
because if RJ isn`t one of the seven, I don`t know who he could be. Mashburn?
Maybe. But even better, what if RJ is one of the CBI team members? Maybe…Rigsby?
If Jane planned this, it means that HE wanted CHO, VAN PELT and RIGSBY to know.
Why then? I`ll continue this theory after we`ll watch some other episodes of
the  6th season.

2.      
The second one is strictly based on Bruno
Heller`s statements. In the second one I choose to believe them and to go with
the story. To think that there is no mislead and that there where  suspects, and now they`re 6. And one of them
is Red John. In this case, I have to confess that I am really disappointed because
my money were from the beginning on Brett Partridge who fits perfectly. But,
like I said, I will go with the story.

If Red John is one of the 6, and Patrick
was honest with Teresa and told her the names because he wanted help, and then
Lisbon called Van Pelt for the same reason, then this is pretty messed up. I
have always imagined Red John as a charming men, very resemblant to Jane. I
always thought they`re almost the same age, they`re both clever and precise,
manipulative and charismatic. I don`t know why, but I can`t imagine an old man
being  Red John, because I want him to be
like another side of Patrick, a darker and distructive one. Not just a random
man. For some reason, in this scenario, I`d guess that RJ is McAllister; I have
no arguments yet, but I`m searching for them.

Ok, that was long. Sorry for that. 

In the Canada promo for episode 2, Jane says something along the lines of:  "I know something that RJ doesn't, he's killed two people within days now, he's getting desperate, a little crazy, he doesn't realize he's made a terrible mistake."

I think this is the clue that's the beginning of the list being revealed as a fake.  Jane's real list was the names shown in his notebook around midseason.  He spent the rest of season 5 subtly advertising a fake list to trap RJ.

What better way to get down to a more manageable suspect pool than by having Jane announce that the list is fake and he's narrowed his real list down to three people?

Most people on this site have decided to accept the list and perhaps I'm as delusional as the people that think Jane is RJ, but if I'm right that the list is a fake then I'd say I'm also likely to be right on my Walter Mashburn theory.
