ARGUMENTATION

I had my mind set on RJ being former CBI boss Virgil Minelli however with the latest developments occurring (RJ was a member of visualize, he is probably PJ's age) I have shifted my view.

SPOILER: Brett Partridge will be back on the next episode and I believe that he will be eliminated from potential suspects. I do not think he has enough power to be RJ and he is not the a-list actor that will portray RJ. The episode after that has Lorelei returning and going rogue. So, the next couple of episodes should be very interesting.

To me, I love the fact that all the names on PJ's list (the book with the names) and LaRoche's list are coming back into the fore: Brenda, Ardiles, Bertram to some extent. 

I believe that Bob Kirkland is RJ. Yes, too obvious but I think that Bruno Heller has double-bluffed us. He matches the descriptions of RJ, he is the appropriate age, he is in a position of power, he has been keeping tabs on Jane from the beginning and he is an a-list actor. Heller always said that the viewers would be disappointed by RJ's reveal and Kirkland's introduction was sort of low-key. The fact that Kirkland has been involved in all of Lorelie's episodes (bar one) this season also has me believing that he is desperately trying to keep her quite. 

Long live RJ and the Mentalist
