Alternate RJ

Was anyone else holding out hope that red John would actually be Jane? Like maybe Jane had a psychotic break? Of all the men on the show he felt like the only one with enough charisma and power to manipulate all his followers.

Also did anyone believe McAllister was powerful enough to manipulate all these people? Seemed far fetched to me. IMO Brett was the worst option because he was so creepy who would have been charmed by him?
