My arguments were recently accused of being logically impossible so I've decided to lay out the logic behind the idea that RJ is not one of the names on the list of seven suspects.
Bruno Heller didn't say RJ was on Jane's list. He said that we can trust the list which is an entirely different thing because there are multiple lists and each one has a different purpose.
The list of names in Jane's notebooks - so far the purpose is unknown
The list RJ provided - exposed tiger tiger
The fake list Kirkland stole - exposed Kirkland's motives to Jane
It would be inconsistent with past season finales if everything were as it seemed. Why does everyone assume that they know Jane's plan? Did anyone know in season 5 that Jane was making a fake list for whoever was spying on him? If the list RJ read out was in fact Jane's list then RJ is either psychic or he stole the list. Now because Kirkland stole a fake list we know that if RJ had stolen the list then it would have been the fake list with Richard Haibach's name on it. RJ did not steal the list so you must believe that RJ is psychic. If you look at all of this information logically, it is easy to conclude that RJ's list was never Jane's to begin with. That means that RJ is either a genius that knows exactly who Jane has met and knows exactly how Jane will narrow it down or the names on RJ's list are different from the names on Jane's. This seemed so unlikely after the S5 final because there was no motive for RJ to send Jane a list of random names but we are now seven episodes into the 6th season and we have seen the effect of that list. RJ's names exposed tiger tiger and because Jane played by RJ's rules and investigated them as if RJ was on the list, Bertram has been framed as RJ and Jane can't kill the real RJ without being forced to go on the run to South America. I've just explained the logic of my conclusion that RJ is not one of the seven suspects and is instead of on the suspects in Jane's notebook. My theory takes into account all the clues from S5 and S6 along with accepted patterns in the past season finales. Those claiming the list is real base it only on Heller's ambiguous statement. The S5 finale was called RJ's rules. RJ's announcement that he's going to start killing again is not a rule but instructing Jane to investigate those seven names as if they were RJ would be a rule.
I include a link to my past theory which explains why RJ would send Jane a list of tiger tiger suspects and how this all connects back to Todd Johnson in season 3: http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/11369
