I think that McAllister been RJ is the worst idea..! Who is McAllister, we don´t know anything about him... That sucks.. Mentalist fan´s we know that RJ MUST BE PARTRIDGE.. his look and especially his attitude OMG.. Came on nobody could fit the meaning of RJ(RJ means a lot, ) better than Partridge. So why hope that Bruno Heller doesn´t disappoint us
What do you think..??

Brett Partridge was killed by Red John.  However, it happened at the
Elliston Barn in 1988.  Red John's bloody hobby was just beginning.  He
knew that he liked it and knew that he wouldn't want to stop.  As John
Stiles, son of Bret Stiles, he would be under more scrutiny during his
lifetime than the average individual.  Brett Partridge had little-to-no
family to miss him.  So, Red John assumed his identity when he left the farm.

Let me clarify something, because I can't stand  some people anymore.

I can't think of anybody else as Red John.


"He's not charming"
"A jerk like that can't be Red John" well, if he's Red John, he has to put a mask when he's with Patrick and in public appearences.  You can't deny he's attractive (more than the other suspects anyway) http://tmsimg.com/celebs/v3/AllPhotos/162486/162486_v3_ba.jpg

"He's a bad posture" 
Not muscular, but not soft either. Just look at this  http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lLsdaCVk3Kk/TAcnBF4_klI/AAAAAAABpbo/QgAShi3Dv7E/s1600/JackPlotnick07.jpg

"He's too young" The actor is 45, he's the one who fits the age window more with  Reed Diamond (Ray Haffner).

"He's dead" Every suspect but Smith and Bertram is dead. If there's someone who would fake his death, it's him.

"He's really dead, we saw his body twice". Why didn't they show us the face?
"Because they'd have to pay the actor for nothing" Oh. Tell me, couldn't they show us just Cho checking his face? The camera is on Cho as he verify that he's death, so they don't have to pay Jack Plotnick and we are all sure he's dead. Don't tell me it's useless becuase I don't buy it. Or at least, Lisbon asking Cho to check if it's really him, then Cho texts her saying it's him.
There were loads of ways to show the audience that Partridge is really dead, without paying the great Plotnick, but they didn't, get over it.

Also, Lorelei told Jane that he looks like Red John. Imagine Partridge putting off his geek forensic guy mask. If there's one from the 7 list, that looks like him acting smart, then it's him.

McAllister is helping Jane, he always wanted to help him. He even told Jane he isn't Red John and  Jane looked him in the eye, and he realized he was speaking the truth.

It's impossible for RJ to trick Jane, even if he's a good actor, when he's asking the big question directly. 


If Bruno Heller said the list is true, and he didn't lie, then Brett Partridge is Red John. I wasn't 100% sure because McAllister was there since the beginning (episode 2 though) but the latest episode told me he isn't red John, and so does the promo. (Congratulations to everybody who thinks it's McAllister because he's in the promo crashing in a window. Really guys, you're amazing)

I didn't want to write too much, but I couldn't help it.

Why Bruno why? Why are you playing with us? 

If partridge is dead, why not tell us the reason behind it..?  Why are you keeping this secrecy till the last moment..?

You are just killing us...Even though you have shown us his body...why to introduce this burnt shoulder crap...?
You could have shown us tattooed or clean shoulder...but no...

Seriously, I am feeling other fans are lucky...as they either completely know their suspect is dead or can not be RJ or he is definately...

What happened to Partridge?

Patrick surely was a member of The Blake Association. He knows Tiger Tiger and he had a tattoo.

In Season 6 Episode 1, Jane took a close look at Partridge at the beach. Partridge was disturbed. He questioned Jane's behavior towards himself, asking "Why are you acting like this in the past days?"

After the scene, Partridge freaked out. He became paranoid. Does Jane know I am a member of the association? How much does he know? Why else would Jane inspect me like that? And he shared his concerns with someone else from the club, he was talking about leaving the association. Word got to Red John. Partridge wanted to be out, but he knew too much. He was a loose cannon and he could talk. 

That is why Red John killed Partridge, and also sliced his skin to remove the tattoo, this was Partridge's punishment. Partridge was a disgrace to the beautiful community Red John formed. He dare could he ask to leave? This was also a message to other members of the association. No one leaves The Blake Association. And anyone who knew that Partridge wanted to leave, got the message.

When Lisbon came to house, Partridge said "Tyger Tyger". His last words were in hope to tell Lisbon the existence of such club.

There's a lot of deception surrounding Gale Bertram.

I'm going to try and put some guesses forward.

Bertram is in Tyger Tyger and working for Red John...

But he's also a player in Patrick's team.
0. If you don't know this. Robert Kirkland's first appearance is in season 2. After a meeting with Minelli, Minelli retires. Gale Bertram becomes the new boss. Why would Robert Kirkland put a guy in Tyger Tyger as CBI Director. Robert's got a plan! 1. Gale Bertram calls Robert Kirkland after Patrick Jane invites him to the meeting.2. Patrick somehow knows about Tyger Tyger and all its details when he's interviewing Smith. Patrick talked to Robert Kirkland too.3. Gale Bertram leaves a list of all names in Tyger Tyger in the Flash Drive.4. Only Kirkland has the authority to call in SWAT team from all Districts in California to help out Bertram. He's even planted a SWAT outfit in there *beforehand.* There's some elaborate plan going on.5. Patrick wakes up just as Bertram arrives... convenient, or they're both playing a trick. But for who? Lisbon?.. She's the only one there. Why did RJ keep her alive, is she bugged or something. Is Patrick helping Bertram keep up his Tyger Tyger appearance to Red John.5. Patrick calls a news conference to say Bertram is Red John. Is he playing the real Red John somewhere out there into believing he thinks Bertram is Red John?6. Patrick barely tries to stop Bertram escaping.7. Bertram kills a Bartender. During this scene, the frame rate slows down. Then you get a crap angle of Bertram killing him. Sure- it could be gory. Or its a perfect chance to deceive the audience. If you listen closely, you can hear Bertram punching ice after the initial unmistakeable smashing of the glass bottle on the guy's head. And he glances back at the Bartender, as he leaves... concerned or something? 8. Bertram is definitely being used deceptively. But the way in which he is playing suggests he is on Patrick's team. 9. Patrick agrees to meet Bertram, "Red John," in a park. Patrick asks for Teresa's gun. If Patrick and Bertram are really in on the same plan, Patrick can do a huge stunt at this point. Patrick can give Bertram his gun and say "I want you to finish what you started 10 years ago. Kill me." Or something really crazy.Then at this point, the real Red John would step out and reach out to Patrick. He would be there initially to watch Patrick kill Bertram. But he'd be so surprised when Patrick unarms himself he'd step out and reveal himself. Then Patrick chases and slays him.
