THE RULES
Unless you have seen the extended FOTR DVD and listened to commentry, this will confuse you. I did not write this, I got it from much-ado.net/tig/tig.php and you can learn what tig is, if you don't know already, by going there. In short, it is a game Dom, Billy and Sean made up on the set and fooled Elijah into thinking it was a real game.Below, are first some of the rules the guys made up, then below that is a list that fans created. It mostly applies to girls, but everyone can get a laugh out of it.
