LATEST THEORIES

Im going to be laughing my arse off if Red John is the supposed victim in the blast who faked his death.
Talk about rubbing salt on the undead patridge wounds, in the extended preview we can see that McAllister is up on the board with stiles and haffner.

Im guessing that McAllister supposedly died in the explosion(im guessing theres a body which is burnt up in a sheriff uniform) and so joins the ranks of Stiles and Haffner(i dont think either of them died in the explosion though) as non
Red John candidates.
The most obvious choice now is Bertram and it will most likely be him but i have this niggling feeling in the back of my mind that there will be one last twist.

It could just be that Reed Smith is Red John but I remember reading how Robin Tunney was surprised at Red Johns reveal and she has stated before that she was suprised that Xander(Mcallister) was a red john suspect and that she expected Michael Gaston(Bertram) to be a red john suspect. (This is me just paraphrasing what she said, though in saying this im fully aware that Reed Smith would deffinately still be a surprise and probably a bigger one infact)

If you notice at the end of the 6.07 extended promo, they are showing a house with a tree in the front. I cant remember exactly the words but didn't patrick say that Red John lived alone/with his mom in a house with a lemon tree. Im too lazy to look up the exact quote but it was in the first episode when he appeared on a tv show and belittled Red John. (Just a note, Michael Gaston(Bertram) tweeted a picture of this set awhile back meaning he was at the location of this scene...)

Where did the body of Brett Partridge go. If he is truly deceased can't Jane check to see if he has the tattoo on his left shower, being part of the 'Tyger, Tyger' organisation.

I'm still going with McAllister as Red John.

The last episode shortened our suspects pool to just 3. And yes, I believe one of them is Red John. Sheriff has been my pick from the start and I'm sticking to it, eventhough Bertram is getting more and more suspicios.

Here are some of my questions. We heard Jane pulled the trigger. Did he actually shoot someone? Why did the house explode? Was that a plan from Patrick and everyone agreed or what? Who did Bertram call right after Lisbon and Jane gave him information about Red John?

I would count out Smith as RJ, because we saw him reaching for a gun. RJ wouldn't do that at that particular time. He enjoys games with Patrick. He wouldn't want to shoot him after his first threat.

I thought this episode is going to lead us closer to RJ. In a way, it did, but I have to admit, I'm more confused that I was before watching it.

I waited anxiously for many hours for an episode in which the promo contained as much plot as the 43 minutes of episode itself...

Worth every moment! I love the Mentalist!

Check his voice at the end and tell me it's not him!

I am not sure who is Red john yet. I see many reaction on the twin Brother of Kirkland, but as kirkland said he seen his brother dead. (So big change he is just dead) About Sheriff McAllister I am not sure ether, cause in the end he does not look like the intellegend guy that could have planned al this.Next to that there was a discrubtion by the blind girl friend of Red john, and that did not look like Mcallister. In the end of the scene Red john was drinking tea when looking at Patrick on the camara, the only person that can enjoy a tea like that in the show, is Patrick or Stilles, with there mental powers)

There is a change that Red John is not from the Tyger Tyger group, but most be really smart. We know from the discribtion from many episodes that he is a man, and he should have quit handy computer skills. A big suprise would be if Red john was 24/7 there to observate Patrick, and that why he knows so much about what he is doing, if this is true then Red John is somewhone from the CBI, and even thinking it is a man, what if it is a woman, and the only woman with that kinda computer skills, be able to hack te system all the time, trying to confince us about that spirituality excist, and trying to confince us there are people that are more then just human but there people that can see things, not telling rigsby that she loves him, been away on a computer course so she had time to be red john, And from the CBI team it would be a Suprise if Van Pelt would be red john.

This mean that in the end of the episode, Patrick has got quit closer to all of the team, and then he gets to the moral question if he should kill a person that became a close friend of him or not. *And if he does, what will Rigsby do, will he kill Patrick for killing his wife red John, or not because he understands"

(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.
