Tom's Journey
Of course one benefit to his tenure on the DWTSGame would be popularity, age would not be another. Tom felt that he would be too old fashion for the game and was concerned he would possibly let Kym down.
In Week 1, Tom and Kym danced a Toy Story-themed Foxtrot to "You've Got A Friend In Me" by Randy Newman. Tom blew everyone away as he was surprisingly very in synch with Kym and gave a sweet performance. He recieved an amazing 28 out of 40 and came in second place on the judge's leaderboard, tying with Zac Efron.
Week 3 was even more of a surprise for Hanks and Johnson, as they danced a Tango to "Flamenco" by Paco de Lucia. The dance got rave comments, and scored an amazing 35 points, landing Tom and Kym in first place for the first time, tied with Hank Baskett. Tom and Kym were also awarded the encore performance for that week for their dance.
In Week 4, Tom and Kym proved themselves again, dancing a Rumba to "Midnight Train To Georgia" by Gladys Knight. The judges told Tom he was very romantic and it showed in the dance, which scored the first 10 of the season from Carrie Ann. The dance scored 37 points, landing Tom and Kym in fourth place with Zac Efron and Hank Baskett.
During Week 5, Tom ditched Kym to dance a Viennese Waltz to "When I Look At You", by Miley Cyrus, with Sandra Bullock, as part of the Partner Ditch Week. Season 27 finalist Jessica Alba guest judged the dance and gave it a 10. They also danced a team dance Salsa to "Show Me How You Burlesque" by Christina Aguilera.

Bruno Tonioli told him that the performance ran out of steam by the end. The dance scored only 34. Everybody in the audience was surprised when Tom and Kym landed in the bottom-two for the week.
