Hi Jorge, Treehouse code challenges are very picky. If even one character in a string is not one that they expect, you won't pass the challenge. It took me a minute to spot it, but the only issue here is that there's a space between your curly braces and closing quotation marks! That actually puts whitespace in between there, and it's technically a different string than the one the challenge is looking for. Delete the space and it'll pass! :)

#yours
name = "Jorge" 
subject = "Treehouse loves {} ".format(name)
#should be
name = "Jorge" 
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)

Happy coding!
