THE THEORIES

First of all, I love everyone who posted your thoughts and theory on this site. Reading them are so much fun.

Many of you have very solid arguments. However, I think there's one important aspect many of the theories fail to address: 

Could you please try to explain about the bomb in Jane's house?

To be more specific: Who planted it? And for what purpose? What do you think happened before the bomb went off? And, if the person who planted the bomb was also in the house, how did he make sure he can walk away without getting hurt?

If you can't answer that, I think it's very hard for me to believe you have the right person as RJ.

Hit "Green" if you agree with me.
Hit "Red" if you think that's irrelevant.

Some other thoughts about the promo :

I wouldn't read in too much about the 6x08 promo. I find it hard to disagree that the person in church with PJ is indeed McAllister. But that does not mean McAllister is RJ. Yes we hear RJ says "The game's over and I won". But I didn't see those words coming out from McAllister's mouth. Very likely McAllister is sent by RJ. Remember Timothy Carter? I don't think RJ will just show up and let PJ shoot him.

I think that the owners of this website should beef up their servers a bit for Sunday. This website was down a lot for almost 2 days after last Sunday's episode, so I think they should try to get a bit more bandwidth for this final reveal. It looks like the hosting company is OVH, so it shouldn't be too difficult to bump up the server capacity for this weekend. No more 404 errors!

Does anyone think Bruno Heller came to this site and wrote his own anonymous theory (either a fake one or the real one)?

Green = He was here.
Red = He wasn't.

Coffee Cup was bugged. All these years. All those talks with tea. Always taken into his lair. Once he decides he wants RJ to find him, he breaks the cup and bug. Read that and liked that.

Uh... Im really tired of Partridge's theories... I know he would be a great Red John, I thought he was Red John till the beginning of season 6 and then I started looking at facts, reading interviews and putting things together.

OK Jack Plotnick (Partridge's actor) said that he was playing Partridge as he was Red John the whole time. That's why everyone is so convinced that its him.

Its a trick that Heller played to us so everyone will believe its him till season 6, and yes he has too many fans that still stick to him.

Additionally, the actor that plays Red John said he was stunned and fluttered when he learned that he will play Red John, which ofc doesn't fit with Plotnick who was playing Partridge like he was Red John.

I try to minimize the people that write Partridge theories because its getting annoying, Partridge is not Red John please choose someone else and stick with him otherwise you will be really disappointing.  

Please read his interview here: http://www.tvequals.com/2013/09/23/exclusive-interview-the-mentalists-jack-plotnick-talks-playing-brett-partridge-being-a-red-john-suspect-flies/

I wanted to note that Red John didn't just killed Partridge but he also hit him, he had bruises on his faces which is a little bit weird. For me it indicates that he did something wrong and Red John punished him. Best thing i can guess is that he gave away himself as not being Red John and reducing Jane's list to 6 suspects when Patrick looked him in the eye.

Sorry if my post disappointed you,,, but please dont trick yourself, open your eyes, do not just see what you wanna see otherwise you will be blind to the truth.

If Red John isn't one of the 3 "burned" suspects, how do you explain that 3 bodies are identified after the explosion? If one of them escaped, who is the third body ?

Hello guys, i'm not going to make any theory in this post, i just saw something strange in the promo of the 8th episode so i made this screen capture here http://i.imgur.com/LBmQm0R.jpg and as you can see RED JOHN has a little quantity of white hair (or not) and a head like ball.

PS: We're not sure all the suspects who died are really dead ;) 

so.....
