Well this has been going through my mind a couple times since I saw the finale. I was thinking that maybe Patrick knows exactly who Red John is now and wants to drag him out slowly. I say this because when Kirkland stole Patrick's info and Patrick found the toothpick, I think he knew he tricked whoever was stealing his info by giving them false info. Now here's why I think Patrick knows exactly who RJ is now. Somehow Patrick tricked RJ and gave him a list to come up with from the board, but only of six people, and Patrick knows as the cocky person Red John is he'd feel compelled to put his own name on the list. So maybe Patrick knows who he is, because the one person on the list that he didn't trick him to put on the list is on there. I think Patrick won.

Apart from Who is RJ there's other questions to consider.

How will he be revealed?
Will Jane shoot him or will RJ go to prison (or maybe go free for some reason)?
What will happen to RJ's accomplices?
What were his reasons for killing - apart from being crazy?
How will Jane go on with his life?

so it has been confirmed by heller that RJ is one of the 7 on the list, is he lying? i don't think so it would upset too many fans to do that at this point,  So it's now not going to be such a surprise when we find out WHO is RJ no... but the surprise will be of WHY I suppose?...

I am intrigued to know why RJ does it? what made Rj like that to start with? how he gets so many people following him? killing themsleves for him? just the whole RJ thing!! so for me I'm hoping the shock value now will be in all those things as we know now its def one of the 7 on the list.

Lorelei - I don't believe she is dead either, I think the whole thing has been a set up somehow by RJ.

ok lastly i have just to say this...

PJ is not rj....

and Lisbon is not rj (or an accomplice)...think about it... she loves jane, that much is obvious especially after series 5 & no matter she is always there for him.  She won't turn or be turned and she will prob get her heart broken by Jane as he will always put his revenge on RJ 1st no matter what!!!!  without her, the show has no true characters in it? does it? & you need that in a show like this one especially when you can't even trust the main character (in most situations.) 

Unless we've all been hypnotized, I think we're still free to voice a theory on anyone...on the list or not. Keeps it interesting. Carry on...

For all of you f'ng toolbags who are too stupid or stubborn to do some research before posting, please read this:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: After all that craftiness on Patrick Jane’s part, Red John is still a step ahead of him. So can we really trust that the list is accurate if Red John is so willing to confirm it?
Bruno Heller: Yes, we can trust that list. As much as much as Red John has been one step ahead, Lorelei Martins’ intervention changed the game. So as much as Red John is trying to play from a position of strength in reality Jane has gotten a lot closer. This last episode of the season really sets us up for next season: The hunt is on, no messing about.

Once again, you’re making moves that make me wonder if Patrick Jane is Red John — after all, how else could he know that memory from inside his head? But by saying Red John is definitely on the list, can we rule out the theory held by some fans that Jane is actually Red John?
Heller: I would say that definitively: Jane is not Red John.

SO ACCORDING TO THE SHOWS CREATOR:  RED JOHN IS ON THE LIST OF 7 and JANE IS NOT RED JOHN.

Please take note of the 2 most important parts: First, although Heller doesnt say the words "definitely on the list" by not refuting the statement, he is saying that Red John is on the list of 7.  Second, Jane is not Red John.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pick one of the seven people on this list when posting or provide a credible theory as to why we should believe that Heller is lying to his fan base if you are foolish enough to choose someone who is not on the list.

So maybe it's Jane's father. Remember when Jane had flashbacks and it was revealed he worked as a carny? Well Jane's wife was from the carny too and so they ran away together and his father was maybe disappointed at him for letting him down on the job. So he decided to watch over his every move since then... Just saying
