LATEST THEORIES

(I picked Kirkland because he is the creepiest)

RJ isn't any of the 7 suspect, think about it this is a person who framed Jane of murder simply to see what he would do. he wouldn't be this stupid to allow himself to be caught by something as simple as a tattoo.

I think RJ is someone else who has a connection to everyone in the room, He knew about the existence of Tiger Tiger group for some time and his use of the poem is used to draw Jane in. He want Jane to learn about this group similar with the Fake Red John he want to know how Jane will re-act what he will do.

to this extent he hired the investigator or she worked for him, knowing that they would find the bug and Jane would suspect him. Tiger Tiger group would also suspect him and try kill her before anyone could find out.

there is also the Visualize connection we know RJ was connect to the cult in some way.

Bret Stiles big part of this week ep was his speech about taking someone under his wing  and grooming them for greatness. we also know that he is close to death my theory based on this interaction is that RJ was once one of his star student someone he groomed, mentored (not in term of killing). This could explain RJ God-like status among his followers much like Stalis.

The 5 main suspect are

3 Tiger Tiger members
2 Visualize members (Founder and his Successor) (Haffner is the Successor of Stalis)


What I'm thinking is
he wants Jane to leap down the rabbit hole and chase the tiger, there is a connection between Visualize and the group. This connection is important to RJ and he want Jane to find it.

For all Fans and Suspects:  Let's use this great site as a place to start a Petition to change The Mentalist to a different night and/or time slot.  Please click on Green button if you agree that The Mentalist is too good of a show to be ruined by the over run of Sunday Sports.  

The Mentalist and Fans deserve better treatment than we have been given.  Week long hype for tonight's new episode that is first delayed an hour and then is replaced with an old rerun.  Shame, shame.  If CBS won't give a new time slot, at least do a special late night showing that can be recorded properly and on time!

Forget how Redjohn guessed the list. How is this guy predicting what's happening in future episodes?

Everyone read theory #8619, posted many hours before the actual episode ever aired!

Hi I'm Ron, Waldo to intimates, or Charlie to Frenches.
I stay in the office from morning to evening, I love paperwork.
I walk through the bureau sometimes giving a few words to Lisbon's team.
I think I'm quite here from beginning.

We have to stop to over think after each episode, Heller is messing with us, we can't be sure about anything, there is no logical way of thinking.
We should just enjoy and wait until the 8th episode and pray it would explain everything.

No one has confirmed Red John had anything to do with the private investigator. Getting a amateur to bug the CBI and then killing her like that is just unprofessional. The three dots are what identifies the Tyger Tyger group. I am certain they are not related, but i have no idea how Tyger Tyger knew RJ recited those exact words to Jane and decided to call themselves that. My only exlanation is that they are a group dedicated to catching Red John and will do whatever is necessary to achieve this goal and a member of the CBI team is apart of it, maybe Van Pelt or Rigsby? but then why would they need to bug the office? It is all very confusing and Bruno Heller can play this however he likes but personally i think this whole Tyger Tyger group thing is just stupid. I also think he will not cover all of the RJ mysteries he has left e.g; Roll Tide, He is Ma... , Rosalind's connection with it all, so i think Kira Tinsley was murdered by Tyger Tyger and not RJ and that Bruno Heller is in over his head.

Here's my thoughts I don't think RJ and the tyger tyger group are related. I honestly think RJ is his own person. If you watched the promo you will understand why I am thinking this and I am talking about the part where rigsby is talking. Watch that part on the cbs website and youll see why I think that. I really think that this class is just a bunch of corrupted or grouped up cops looking for RJ. I think there is a bigger picture here with what RJ is doing and the clues and list he gave to jane. Im quite sure and this could be wrong that RJ is not one of those people on the list. My honest guess if i had to give one would be kirklands twin brother. Just for the fact he keeps saying have you seen me before just kinda stands out as a clue to me. With other past facts about Rj as well He just seems to fit. 

What's everyone think.
