To honest, I'm kind of disappointed.. it's quite evident in the promo that McAllister may be Red John, I guess it's better than Bertram though. I hope they're both just big Red Herrings and the writers created some eccentric twist the next episode that explains EVERYTHING. From all the clues we received, whether they were just misdirections or it'll make us think 'Oh yeah! It's so obvious.' when watching over previous episodes.

It's really hard to accept McAllister or Bertram seducing a woman like Lorelei Martins, who is, let's be honest, young-ish and could be perceived as hot, when they seem pretty old and really.. how can someone be attracted to them? Unless they have this really seductive side to them, which would be expected I guess since Red John has like hidden identities. Thinking back I can recall McAllister acting like the biggest pervert towards Grace when she was undercover.. or maybe it was all planned or something, but seriously how can McAllister be that charismatic to obtain such loyalty? He seemed so repulsive during that episode haha. 

I would honestly love if Red John was Ray Haffner (highly doubtful) or Brett Patridge (100% sure he's dead though, like how can Cho not notice?or Michael/Bob Kirkland (that's a stretch though). I find them most charming from the list of 7, well not really Patridge but the writer's can easily manipulate him into one that is charismatic enough to get such a follow (can be for the others too I guess, but to me Patridge makes more sense). 

As for Bret Stiles and Reede Smith, we can probably deduce that Smith is DEFINITELY not Red John, I would laugh if he was and he would bring humour into the situation. Stiles in my opinion would work but he's just too old so it's weird.

I'm just working from the list of 7, assuming that Red John is on list, but I actually wouldn't mind if he's Walter Mashburn. Would be such a twist and the explanation would be intriguing. 

If it's either McAllister or Bertram I feel that the suspense and the excitement I possessed during the show will slowly deteriorate, it's too obvious. 

My opinion, feel free to ridicule! :)

I have watched the promo. I think that we see two suspects, one is mccalister(who is flying:D through the window) and the other is bertram(he is on the run in the park or the graveyard). Honestly i dont think that neither of them is red john. They are not that stupid to show us something from red john himself.

Its actually weird that he sounds nothing like he sounded in s02x24. Then we thought it was partridge, but now he has a different voice. He sounds also like dr. linus wagner but iam really focussed on the list of 7 suspects.

My pick for red john is still ray haffner, other than him i would like to see as red john  mccalister, partridge and kirkland.

But please i say no to reede smith, gale bertram and bret stiles.

In the preview we hear a voice supposely from the guy in the church. He seems to be above mid-age and grey-haired. I'm quite positive this is Judge Manchester, he has the same rasping voice. Also seems to be alternating between quite low and high pitch.

My guess is that he's the leader of Thyger Thyger, the question is if he's also Red John or not. It would feel like a bit of cheating to have such a character being Red John. There's no evidence so far that he's the mastermind killer.
