I'm starting to think that Red John and Tyger Tyger are two different organizations altogether.  O'Laughlin was a Red John conspirator and it was assumed he killed Todd Johnson (I could be wrong but don't remember him admitting it).  But Bertram was on LaRoche's list of five as well.  I think that Johnson was an enforcer, killing mainly police officers to help protect Tyger Tyger, his "part of something bigger than Jane could imagine."  I think that Bertram killed Johnson to keep Tyger Tyger a secret.  This would also explain why, before killing Timothy Carter, O'Laughlin and Bertram hadn't put their heads together (they aren't part of the same organization).

Also, how do we know it was actually Red John that saved Patrick when the copy cats had him.  It could have been someone in CBI that was watching him (they were obviously putting resources in to keep tabs on him).

We have Kirkland dead; Partridge dead (more than likely, even CBS trailers whittled the list down after his episode, also he appeared to be in Tyger Tyger based on his last words); Bertram, Reede, and McCallister seem to be part of Tyger Tyger; and my gut is that Brett Stiles was a mentor of sorts of Red John.

This leaves Haffner.

But what are the purposes of the two groups (Tyger Tyger and Red John). Perhaps Red John was fed into more of rivalry with Tyger Tyger, perhaps Tyger Tyger stages some of their crimes and (with the help of people like Partridge) fixes the blame on others, perhaps Tyger Tyger had some purpose to kill Jane's family (to shift focus or cover something else) and blamed it on Red John (which would upset RJ and cause him to focus on both Patrick and Tyger Tyger.

Also, if PJ was given some type of post-hypnotic suggestion (by RJ or Tyger Tyger) perhaps it was to respond to the words Tyger Tyger? 

Also, perhaps Roll Tide is a Red John thing, (it was said a couple of times, and Roy Tagliaferro's associate bought a stuffed elephant for Rosalind Harker)? 

Final thought, Haffner is the only one I've noticed include the 'z' sound in pronouncing Teresa (although I couldn't find a clip of Partridge saying it and only one instance of Haffner saying it).  Most suspects say it Teresa, Haffner sounded more like Terezsa (z sound with a hint of s sound), while RJ pronounces it Tereza (with a clear z sound).

6x01 - Jane sees that Lisbon is calling him, but when he picks up expecting Lisbon, RJ answers.

However, when RJ hangs up from Lisbon's phone, there is a *click* then dial tone. Last I checked, cell phones don't have dial tones.

Hmmm....

scoop from tvline.

Can you tell us
anything about
Episode 6.05 of The
Mentalist? –Deshani
Before this Sunday’s
episode, titled “The Red
Tattoo,” is over, you will
get a kind of whopping new
clue to Red John’s identity.
Do you have any new
info on The Mentalist,
or have you already
given it all to us? –
Samara
Did you not see above that
I watched this Sunday’s
episode?! Well, I can also
share that one of the five
remaining possi-Johns is
about to reveal a certain
phobia. But does his fear
thus rule him out…?
It’s been a while since
we’ve heard
something interesting
about Cho of The
Mentalist. Is there
anything special
coming up for him? –
Sonia
What if I told you that
Leverage fave Beth
Riesgraf guest-stars in
this week’s episode, and
that her cute-as-a-button
character winds up asking
a certain stone-faced CBI
agent out for coffee…?
(Lucky duck.)

I really think people have over analysed (me included) the whole show, therefore making it more difficult to find the identity of RJ. If we go back to the basics and try to piece the story together we will get our answer. US shows have poor endings people will be dissappointed, a lot of questions will be left unanswered once the reveal happens because thats how TV shows work they come from so many angles that a lot of the things that happen become unexplainable, e.g. why didn't Harker feel the face of everyone on the list" "If _____ is RJ then who did ____ in a so called episode  even though RJ was doing ____etc etc" Think of it like Scooby Doo tv show RJ will be someone that's not too obvious but not too hidden just like the villains in Scooby Doo. I think Heller originally planned on it solely being Partridge but as the show became a hit he began exploring other avenues and now is trying to untangle it all as it was slowly turning into a big mess. It may still be partridge though etc . Also Van Pelt is linked to Ray (the footballing connection) he could be her dad/brother i dont know. Jane will go on the run after the episode "Red John."  Also the writers visit this website too, they are clever but not as analytical as many of the theories. Remember simplicity = The identity.
