"The Amazing Race," despite a title that conjures up a whimsical mid-'60s Disney film involving eccentric gentlemen in hot-air balloons, promises to be "'Survivor' on speed." 22 people, in teams of two, race around the world undertaking challenges and dares; the stragglers are eliminated each week.
