Melvyn.<\/p>\n<p>However, tonight, one of the couples will have to reluctantly retire from the backpacking lifestyle to land with a thud back to reality as Race Across The World unveils its first elimination.<\/p>\n<p>The slowest pairing to reach the checkpoint in the mysterious Shangri-La, a city sitting on the edge of the Tibetan plateau towards the foothills of the Himalaya, will be sent on a one-way flight to the UK.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"485\"
