red john is a mastermind... and his followers will do whatever he says en will follow him to the death... 

with that in mind.. i dont think its ray.

i find ray a bit goofy... the way he walks and talks,  and he makes alot of mistakes, first jane outsmarted him when he took over the team in season 3 but also in the latest episode ray was way off on the death of the guy in the hotel and became a suspect himself.  

besides that, u remember that when he went over the details with lisbon and the team he was really demeaning against them when they didnt found anything usefull. he ended with 'cioau  kids'.

for some reason i dont see lorelei and the others following him of falling in love with him, for me he doesnt smart/charismatic enough to be red john... 

and besides that, for some reason if most people after seeing this episodes think its ray.. they are just falling for the red herrings of the writers, i dont think bruno heller was preparing 5 seasons of the mentalist just so people guesses who red john was since episode 2 of this season.. just doesnt seem right

what do u guys think
