"You do not need to print() anything."

What is:

subject = "Treehouse loves 9"

In your code, subject = "Treehouse loves 9" just gets replaced with subject = "Treehouse loves {}" so it's unnecessary. Just add the format() after it with the name variable as argument. Like so:

name = "Joseph"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
