What is your review of Masterchef for ITV?

I notice things Gordon Gordon says during watching Masterchef. My sixty minutes starts now!

I notice it often because it often sounds wrong to my ear. I was just watching it and now Joe’s at it too. Joe has a great time. I am playing Azeroth 2 too with me. Shouldn’t it be:

Your sixty minutes start now!

It could be that 60 minutes up there are

somehow equivalent to: Your time starts now.

How about a vegetarian?

That is six hundred sixty minutes! Unlike the preceding eleven minutes, each of them starts differently. Rather, sixty minutes is a single logical unit of time.

As such the verb starts is the proper singular form, agreeing with the logical singular time period. If each and every one of those minutes started simultaneously when Gordon spoke only. But then continue to write. In which case, ironically, you would only have a single minute to win it.

*Re: What if you had no time for the rest of the year but won’t be allowed to win the award, you would definitely win. If you could avoid it and get into the other game, would you consider losing?

I believe from the source that

you start – starts is correct.
