I've used the code in the workspace and it works there but I'm getting an error in the prompt. name = 'nick' subject = 'Treehouse loves {}' print(subject.format(name))
name = 'nick'
subject = 'Treehouse loves {}'
print(subject.format(name))

While the code does work, it is not what the challenge asked for, which is why you are receiving the "Bummer!".
The challenge asks:
OK, so now use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}" to put your name into the placeholder.
It didn't ask for a print method. So, the format needs to be added to the actual string.
name = 'nick'
subject = 'Treehouse loves {}'.format(name)
Hope that helps and makes sense. :)
Keep Coding!
