THE THEORIES

Well people i think it is highly unlikely that CBS people are that much dumb that they would reveal some serious info in a promo! The guy that is seen crashing in the window looks more like bertram and not Mcallister!
Also I am still hopeful that we are in for a treat and a huge surprise in the next episode..All those pics that everybody has put up dont prove anything..Also the scar that is put up in the pics is not seen in the promo..So calm down, let your nails grow for the next episode! ;)

According to my theory http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/12120 
McAllister is Red John. Just because I saw the promo and some clues from episode 7.

I'm going to reduce the 7 suspects list to 2 names.
 
Being more rational now, are we really accusing McAllister of being RJ just because of the promo?
This is the most stupid thing we could do. Furthermore, we can assume McAllister ISN'T Red John. Bruno Heller would never show us the serial killer in a 19 seconds promo.

Then we have:
-Brett Partridge - supposed dead in episode 1, they don't mention him anymore until episode 7, no one can say he's dead for sure (not even you, Partridge haters).
-Bob Kirkland - dead. 6-7 shots in the back. Unless he's immortal, he's dead.
-Gail Bertram - Jane declares he's Red John, but it doesn't take a mentalist to know that he's not Red John, given all the clues and after episode 7 (And Jane is sure he isn't).
-Thomas McAllister, if they showed who is Red John in the promo, then I'm Britney Spears. I've already said why he isn't-
-Bret Stiles - supposed dead, anyway too old to be Red John. They MUST show us what really happened in the house.
-Ray Haffner - supposed dead (but I think he's not). Again, they still have to show us what really happened in the house.
 

So, this is pretty cool, because all of the Ray Haffner fans who used to say "Partridge is dead, get over it"  have to admit that their favorite suspect might have faked his death too.

Someone between Partridge and Haffner is Red John. And whoever he is, he faked his death.

All in all, I'm asking this again. What's the meaning of Partridge's burned shoulder? They promised to explain his death, but they didn't. Why didn't just Cho look at the face? As episode 7 taught us, Black Association can edit any data report, and for a forensic guy it wouldn't be hard to do that.

People, we're all fans here and we need to respect each other's wishes. This site is as much about who we want to be Red John, as well as who it definitely is. This is how it is. All the polls indicate a total of 50% here are Partridge fans and a total of 50% here are Fans of Any of the Other suspects. So there's 2 groups.

But here's why we can't co-exist: There are actually 3 types of Mentalist fans:


Fans of any Suspect; These are the fans who want a completely original plot with twists and turns! These people value originality, and don't want the Mentalist defamed for having its much-revered villain, Red John, moulded into the stereotypical profile of a Forensic. Their chosen suspect is the one who they interpret oozes a sociopathic charisma, and a character they have their own beautiful, creative vision for.

Partridge fans; These are the fans that are loyal, scrupulous, puzzle-solvers! These are the people who watched every episode waiting for a satisfying completion, a beautiful ending where all loose ends are tied into one perfectly woven story, regardless of the surprise factor.

Retards; These are fans in EITHER of the above categories, who write stupid theories pissing off people from both groups in turns. These are the dumbasses who completely dismiss the presence of the other group and descend to calling them names. And most of all, they are a discredit to their favoured suspect.

I initially thought it was Bertram last week but now i'm convinced it's Partridge. 
We never saw a face in the morgue and I believe the skin on this body doubles arm was burnt to conceal the fact that Partridge doesn't have the tattoo even though he recited the tyger tyger poem. This I believe shows he is in fact Red John.  "Can't you see what this means??"

All his followers have the dots, but like stiles (his father figure) Partridge doesn't have the tattoo.

This is fantastically written and I take my hat off to everyone involved in the show

If you want a forensic analyst and serial killer, can watch Dexter.

Just kidding, it was also like the Partridge.
So, we have 3 options:

1 - Partridge
2 - Bob / michael
3 - Sheriff

Another thing, the guy in the church is not the RJ, please, you think BH would deliver everything in a 1 minute promo? That also goes for the Sheriff. About the voice, there is no known, this is just to confuse us.

Well, we'll soon find, greetings, I will miss this site.

Lol Red John is coming out of hiding because someone else gets the credit for his work? WOW, what a clever plan. I bet RJ never saw that coming! No. I can't get over how that stupid that is. It makes me laugh.

Red John would kill Bertram if he cared that much. Oscar Cordeiro, Red John's Tyger Tyger underling is helping Bertram long after Patrick announces to the media that Bertram is RJ.

RJ is alright with Bertram being called Red John because he thinks he's beaten Patrick. So he sends someone out to gloat to Patrick. Why would Red John himself go to the church, get shot, then randomly get chased down in the park. Just no. That's stupid.

Patrick plays him. He shows mercy to the guy in church after he shoots him because he knows its not Red John. Why else would Red John "agree" to meet him. Showing up randomly to a church, unexpectedly, is not "agree(ing)" at all.

The plot is not going to be simplistic and retarded.
