I think the phobia route is the dumbest method to determine who's Red John. A lot of people have phobias, and if Red John isn't just gonna reveal his in a super obvious way immediately the few episodes after the fact was revealed. "Hey guys, look at me! I'm afraid of blahblahblah!"
Also it's funny that every episode, the general opinion here changes. Probably next episode, Bertram or Stiles are gonna look uneasy for a few seconds in front of Jane and everyone will think it's them. So I'd say this whole list has to be a red herring and RJ is not on the list. The list can be trust can mean:
1. RJ believes that PJ trusts the list
2. PJ trusts the list
3. The team trusts the list
Now what really bugs me is why did Brett Partridge die? For now, I will believe that he's truly dead and he was part of Tyger Tyger... but who killed him for what reason?
Also, we need to look back at RJ's origins. He started out just killing seemingly random innocent women... yet slowly he transformed into a government conspiracy out to fool PJ in the series.
Where did this idea that RJ is left handed come from? I'm right handed and I usually hold cups with my left hand. Also, he clearly draws his smiley face with his right hand.
Another early clue is that RJ is a showman with a strong sense of theater. Any of the current 7 suspects have a background in that? He used to be very deliberate with how he kills people: stabbing, painting the smiley on a specific wall, painting the victim's nails, etc. This latest episode, the woman isn't even dead before the cops showed up and there wasn't even a smiley. I really hope that RJ didn't get this unsophisticated. I hope that maybe Heffner killed the woman and it wasn't even related to RJ. RJ kills for the show, he does not hurt the innocent and would never do such a sloppy job.
