Well, guys and gals, we are so close to knowing who RJ is already! I must admit I was a bit pissed lately cause everything seemed to point to Bertram, but after reading this: http://www.spoilertv.com/2013/11/the-mentalist-episode-608-red-john_171.html I´m guessing it´s not him...I´m a bit confused though, let´s think about the rest:
Kirkland: dead and was searching for RJ anyway, so, definitely he is not RJ.
Smith: Patrick would have known if he lied, so he is not RJ.
Partridge: dead
Stiles: dead
Haffner: dead
McAllister: dead, but seems to appear in next episode? That doesn´t mean he is RJ for sure though...I know I´m pointing out the obvious, but my point is, either someone else we thought was dead will come back, or RJ was NOT on the list...and after bashing so much those Partridge´s fans that claimed he was alive the first option will be kind of weird, I don´t know if you get what I mean xD I know it´s in different circumstances though, but still...
Honestly I´m still hoping it´s someone not on the list, yes, after reading those TV Guide spoilers and all, but anyway, we´ll know in less than one week, keep on theorising people! :p
