I've looked up other Q&A on this same question.. it looks like I've got the same code and it's not accepting it ?? Also, I just don't understand how "label" is selecting immediate sibling of a radio button...

You have a space before checked
Should be `input[ type="radio"]:checked + label { color:blue; font-weight:bold; }
It might help to look at the html.
<input name="radio" id="radio1" type="radio"><label for="radio1">Option 1</label>
The label is an immediate sibling to the radio button. It comes right after it. The challenge is trying to get you to select that label.
You can do this with the + combinator which is the immediate sibling combinator.
There are other labels in the html for phone and name but they won't be selected because they're not immediate siblings to a radio input.

12,293 PointsHere is the CSS -- it's telling me, make sure I've set font weight to 'bold' ???
:disabled { background-color:lightgray;}
input[ type="radio"]: checked + label { color:blue; font-weight:bold; }
