I have to say season 6 has been my favourite to date with all the twists and turns although the peaches and cream episodes were fantastic too.

I'm pleased the main focus of the season is solely on Red John as I believed some episodes in previous seasons were mainly there to bulk the program out and were of no importance what so ever to the show (although very clever). 

Although it's convincing in the promo, I don't believe its the sheriff because there are to many twists and turns in this show to comprehend at times, and do we really think that they'd ruin their many years work on a promo, knowing that die hard fans will go through the frames and spot the characters???

My picks on who Red John is, have changed from week to week at times but I now believe the missing tattoo on "Partridge" means a lot more than we think. 

I still hope and believe the long con with Partridge would be the most exciting end of Red John and that there are many more twists to come.

What will we watch after The Mentalist, any recommendations are welcome. Cheers

Just want to clarify something , the reason we don't see partridge's body on 6x02 or his face at 6x07 is simply because the production of the mentalist would have to pay jack plotnick to do it , its simply this , money , relax , patrick saw it, I'm not saying he is dead, patrick may have seen and knows this to , but the body not shown to the audience is simply business, no meaning

Here is an article that gives some incredible clues to what goes down in next episode, although it definitely doesn't spoil anything.

Because of the survey including all of the suspects, and because of the appreciation quote, I'm back to Partridge. Sorry I ever doubted you

At the end scene when Patrick is in the church, there is an other person in that room. Hmmm, looks kinda like Loralei Martins...

So, this is really offbeat, and totally not plausable,but, everyone I talk to thought it was cute. Here is my theory.

Red John is actually tea. Yes you read right, tea. Here's why I came to this conclusion.

1... It has been said that Red john has been there from the beginning. Maybe not always in plain sight, but as a Where's Waldoesque element. Tea is always there, wether PJ is drinking it, or it is in a CBI ofifices or in a victim or suspects home etc....But tea has been there from the start.
AND
2.. PJ has shaken hands with Red John..We have seen PJ shake hands with tea on more than one occasion. He can't help it..tea aka Red John are his biggest weakness. PJ realises in The great Red Dragon that tea MUST be Red john when it is knocked out of his hand and the cup shatters.

Hope this makes you all chuckle, can't wait till next week when we finally get our answer!

Lol. Watch this turn out to be true.

Green: You think Jane will kill Red John physically

Red: You think Jane will kill Red John with a weapon

What is up with the pigeon at the end of the extended promo ? Heller is just trying to wreck my head.
The guy running on the graveyard looks like Bertram.
The guy smashing through the glass looks like McAllister.
The guy in the church sounds like Kirkland.
Then the pigeon in the church indicates Partridge again.
WTF. ??
