  Hi guys!

I have two theories about the 6x06 promo:

1- It will force them all to take off their shirts, but none of them have the tattoo said the woman. Jane is surprised, phone rings, Rj: Hello Patrick, all suspects were discarded, and now? Booom, bomb explodes.

So,The list was false? May be the Partridge?

2-It requires 5 to take the shirt, one by one, from left to right, first Bertram, Reede then BOOOOOOOM, something breaks and everything is for the next episode, leaving only 3 suspects, haffner, Stiles and Sheriff.

So,Of these three, bet the Sheriff.


What do you think of the two, or neither?         ( Sorry my english, salute from Brazil)

I have no idea who Red John is, I mean like many i can guess but i think the show can make a case for any on the list . To be honest im already fed up with the whole thing becoming some sort of cult "tiger tiger". Firstly, any clue we think we know can now be disregarded as one of the members doing it and even more silly is that He kills any member caught, im sure one member would instantly give him up,knowing instant death is coming!

I think the main thing to come out of the first 5 episodes is that Teresa Lisbon must be a member, why else would Bret Partridge have said "tiger tiger" to her when dying? We assume Red John killed him, isn't it more likely that someone tracking red john killed Partridge, who when Lisbon arrived,he tried to warn her by saying tiger tiger? then left the blood face on lisbon as a message to red john's members? Of course maybe Partridge knew that one of the CBI team is a member and hoped it was Lisbon!

So, after watching and enjoying every show, we know nothing! Any discrepancy in the show, any missleading information can simply be put down to "that was done by one of his followers in tiger tiger"..what a waste of everyones time even trying to guess.

I think the phobia route is the dumbest method to determine who's Red John. A lot of people have phobias, and if Red John isn't just gonna reveal his in a super obvious way immediately the few episodes after the fact was revealed. "Hey guys, look at me! I'm afraid of blahblahblah!"

Also it's funny that every episode, the general opinion here changes. Probably next episode, Bertram or Stiles are gonna look uneasy for a few seconds in front of Jane and everyone will think it's them. So I'd say this whole list has to be a red herring and RJ is not on the list. The list can be trust can mean:
1. RJ believes that PJ trusts the list
2. PJ trusts the list
3. The team trusts the list

Now what really bugs me is why did Brett Partridge die? For now, I will believe that he's truly dead and he was part of Tyger Tyger... but who killed him for what reason?

Also, we need to look back at RJ's origins. He started out just killing seemingly random innocent women... yet slowly he transformed into a government conspiracy out to fool PJ in the series. 

Where did this idea that RJ is left handed come from? I'm right handed and I usually hold cups with my left hand. Also, he clearly draws his smiley face with his right hand.

Another early clue is that RJ is a showman with a strong sense of theater. Any of the current 7 suspects have a background in that? He used to be very deliberate with how he kills people: stabbing, painting the smiley on a specific wall, painting the victim's nails, etc. This latest episode, the woman isn't even dead before the cops showed up and there wasn't even a smiley. I really hope that RJ didn't get this unsophisticated. I hope that maybe Heffner killed the woman and it wasn't even related to RJ. RJ kills for the show, he does not hurt the innocent and would never do such a sloppy job.

Before this episode I was convinced that RJ was Haffner. However, Haffner's conduct in this episode was what I would expect RJ to be. He was quite angry and foolish, you would expect RJ to be calm and collected. This got me thinking about all the other suspects and this is what I came up with:

Ray Haffner: Was my prime suspect. He fits the descriptions perfectly and is of the right age. He is also a member of Visualize, who IMO will be key in finding RJ. Also he isn't in the law enforcement unlike the other suspects (except Stiles). However, as I previously said his behavior doesn't look like RJ's. He has a fear of spiders, we might have all misheard Sophie Miller's tape and also she she isn't sure if the "fear of heights" is actually his true fear.

Gale Bertram: He seems to be a member of the "Tyger, Tyger" group, which IMO rules him out as RJ. He also doesn't seem to have the character of RJ, he asked for poker lessons from PJ- would RJ do that? I don't think so.

Reede Smith: Its safe to say that he isn't Red John but is part of the "Tyger, Tyger" group. I reckon he will be killed off in the next episode.

Bret Stiles: Too old to be Red John and doesn't fit the descriptions at all. Also if it was in fact RJ who killed the PI in the latest episode, I doubt Stiles would be able to overpower the PI so quickly, he is rather old after all.

Thomas McAllister: To me he seems like a prime suspect now. Remember when RJ saved Patrick and shot the people who were holding him? That was some impressive shooting by him, especially the one in the knee cap. Now think about when McAllister saved Patrick at the top of the chapel a couple of episodes ago. Great shooting again. Some people also pointed out that RJ and McAllister wear similar types of shoes. I also reckon McAllister might be scared of heights and the only reason he got on top of the ladder was to save Patrick. He wasn't going to let some low life take Patrick away from him, after all RJ has been messing around with Patrick for about 10 years now- all that effort for some random guy to shoot him? If you are scared of heights it doesn't mean that you can't climb a ladder if you really have to. Furthermore, people who are saying that McAllister is too old, apparently he is supposed to be about 45 in the show, fits the age pretty well I think. He is also rather calm and clever when Patrick is around (unlike Haffner), he tells quite a lot just by looking a a dead body- almost as much as PJ. now the only catch is that McAllister was sat with Reede and Bertram in the office and he obviously knew something, so does that mean if he really is RJ- he works with the "Tyger, Tyger"? Or is he trying to infiltrate them like someone on here suggested.

Bonus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Pxzpl9BOoI this a promo for the next episode. Now I might be reading too much into this, but just look how Haffner and Bertram react when PJ pulls out the gun. Haffner especially looks like he is about to shit himself, RJ wouldn't react this way would he? RJ would have known this was coming. Reede on the other hand is rather layed back and is almost smiling, weird. We also get a quick glance of McAllister (before PJ pulls the gun out), he seems the most chilled out one there, cross legged, almost as he knows whats coming next.

Thanks and tell me what you think please

Haffner fans, I hope that after the last episode you don't seriously still think it's him? :D

How unimaginative..
