THE THEORIES

I hope Heller create a great turnaround on the show.I believe the easy money is now interresse of business writers is to make a big audience (and since most people are idiots), so a plot increasingly scrappy. I no longer believe that Heller manages to connect all the loose ends over the 6 seasons. I pray you get. If Red John is one person on the list is a disappointment because because he would be giving us the Red John identity in small doses and this is not in accordance with the magic of the show. Heller do not make the show become a mexican soap opera. Now everyone has tattoo and whistles :(  Red John was Max Winter.

Okay guys lets just be cool for a moment and think straight.After the last episode there are 3 possibilities in my opinion.

First Possibility which i hope is not true i will personally be very dissapointed is that Red John is not a single person it is just this 'Tyger Tyger' organisation in law enforcements and thats why it is very hard to caught him because there is no Red John there is just only a bunch of strong connected law enforcements officers who help each other.

Second possibility is that once again Bruno Heller tried to confuse us.I believe a lot of you including me believed that Red John was Timothy Carter from s03e24 and waited for a whole summer to see what is going to happen.So there is a strong possibility to make this happen again.So if this is happening either Red John was off the list of 7 from the beggining or is Brett Partridge.If it is someone off the list i will be very dissapointed also cause NO one can be Red John...And dont tell me about Ellis Mars(OMG) or Walter Mashburn or even worse CBI Ron...If it turns out to be out of the list then Bruno Heller better stop writing.But if Brett Partridge is Red John then Bruno Heller is very smart.I am saying this because before this season most of people's number one for Red John was Brett Partridge...Bruno didnt liked that and wanted to take us away from Partridge so he "killed" him and trapped us once again to believe that Red John is someone else from the list.

And the third possibility which i believe would be the best is Red John being one of these 3 men.Gale Bertram , Reede Smith , Sheriff Thomas McCallister.Of course that means he is the leader of this "Tyger Tyger" thing and thats how he can go away with so many murders...If the third possibility is true then we have to think from the beggining.We have to think the "He is mar" ,,we have to think Rosalind Harker's description ,we have to think the body type of Red John in s02e23 we have to think Rebecca's reaction(s2e08).From the description and the body type of RJ in s02e23 and also by thinkin straight we have to rule out Reede Smith.Come on now you believe that Bruno Heller put RJ in the show in season 5!!!! and made him a fat guy with violence tenses...Come on RJ isnt that type of guy.So Gale Bertram or Sheriff Thomas McCallister or Tom as he wants from PJ to call him...Or RED JOHN as i call him...Xander Berkeley is a great actor and its odd that he played only in one episode and was chosen to be one list.Im sure non of you when you saw the list remember this guy...And its also strange that the mentalist writers made him younger.This is odd isnt it??I am saying because he has to fit in age with this young man that possibly wil play the young RJ in the next two episodes in the Elliston farm.

1)RED JOHN IS JUST AN ORGANISATION(I LL KILL YOU HELLER IF THIS IS TRUE :) )
2)RED JOHN IS EITHER BRETT PARTRIDGE OR SOMEONE ELSE OFF THE LIST(ILL KILL YOU TOO)
3)GB or RS or TM...and my pick is TM(Thomas McCallister)

Glad to read your thoughts!!

Im going to be laughing my arse off if Red John is the supposed victim in the blast who faked his death.
Talk about rubbing salt on the undead patridge wounds, in the extended preview we can see that McAllister is up on the board with stiles and haffner.

Im guessing that McAllister supposedly died in the explosion(im guessing theres a body which is burnt up in a sheriff uniform) and so joins the ranks of Stiles and Haffner(i dont think either of them died in the explosion though) as non
Red John candidates.
The most obvious choice now is Bertram and it will most likely be him but i have this niggling feeling in the back of my mind that there will be one last twist.

It could just be that Reed Smith is Red John but I remember reading how Robin Tunney was surprised at Red Johns reveal and she has stated before that she was suprised that Xander(Mcallister) was a red john suspect and that she expected Michael Gaston(Bertram) to be a red john suspect. (This is me just paraphrasing what she said, though in saying this im fully aware that Reed Smith would deffinately still be a surprise and probably a bigger one infact)

If you notice at the end of the 6.07 extended promo, they are showing a house with a tree in the front. I cant remember exactly the words but didn't patrick say that Red John lived alone/with his mom in a house with a lemon tree. Im too lazy to look up the exact quote but it was in the first episode when he appeared on a tv show and belittled Red John. (Just a note, Michael Gaston(Bertram) tweeted a picture of this set awhile back meaning he was at the location of this scene...)

I'm still going with McAllister as Red John.

The last episode shortened our suspects pool to just 3. And yes, I believe one of them is Red John. Sheriff has been my pick from the start and I'm sticking to it, eventhough Bertram is getting more and more suspicios.

Here are some of my questions. We heard Jane pulled the trigger. Did he actually shoot someone? Why did the house explode? Was that a plan from Patrick and everyone agreed or what? Who did Bertram call right after Lisbon and Jane gave him information about Red John?

I would count out Smith as RJ, because we saw him reaching for a gun. RJ wouldn't do that at that particular time. He enjoys games with Patrick. He wouldn't want to shoot him after his first threat.

I thought this episode is going to lead us closer to RJ. In a way, it did, but I have to admit, I'm more confused that I was before watching it.

Now the list is down to three. Everyone knows that RJ is now a tyger tyger member. But who could Red John be? I guess many of us would believe it to be either Bertram or Mcallister. Very few would think Smith to be Red John. Why, because there is little or no proof to say Smith is Red John. All the clues from Sophie miller and Rosalind Harker prove Smith is not RJ, except for one. Smith has fear of heights. Now everyone would be really disappointed if Smith was RJ. He does not look like one. If there were no clues by Harker or Rosalind, then I would have thought he might be RJ. RJ could be either Mcallister or Bertram. But one question remains, did anyone know about who Red John was in the tyger tyger community. I believe it was Smith who really killed that woman. Let us wait and see who RJ would be. If it is Smith, then I would have to say that all of Heller's clues were wrong and he is nothing more than a sloppy writer.
