use console.log() to log out the last item in the array. var players = ['jim','sam','nick','tully'];

script.js 
var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick'];
console.log(players.pop[5]);

You're using pop() incorrectly. pop() is used to return the last element of the array and it takes no arguments in JavaScript (I think). It also modifies your array, by removing the last element. You can access, but not delete elements in the array by using the notation array[i]. It seems you're using a combination of techniques. Try:

console.log(players[5]);

Additionally, do not delete code from the previous part of the challenge. 

var players = ['Jim', 'Shawna', 'Andrew', 'Lora', 'Aimee', 'Nick'];
console.log(players[0]); //part 1 answer
console.log(players[5]); //part 2 answer
