Let's go through so reality here:
1) There millions upon millions Mentalist fans throughout the world. It's been this way for 6 years. In 6 years this site has generated around 15,000 theories..many lately...and those have been by probably 1000 people by looking at the names I see around all the time
2) Taking the above into context, Heller nor anyone else is going to try and appease less than 1% of the fan base. In fact a majority of viewers don't know this site or care for spoilers.
3) The fact that there has been no major publication of the spoiler makes me thing its real and that a majority of places don't pay attention this stuff. Wouldn't a major show leak be big news if people even cared as much as we do?Also, if you write one great episode and no one has guessed RJ yet why make a fake and leak it...for a tiny few fans?
4) I'm an adult and don't care if the leak was real or fake or who RJ is as long as I like the show and what happens after. People need to be civil and stop being children because you maybe didn't get your way. Also, stop giving yourself too much credit. Heller isn't here crafting a show for less than 1% of people.
Enjoy
