Why does it say bummer? When I run it through the console it works perfectly fine when I throw in a print message.

Any ideas why I would receive a bummer on this?

strings.py 
name = "Jordan"

subject = "Tree house loves {} ".format(name)

You were really close! But the challenges are very picky about outputs.

The instructions say to use .format() on the string "Treehouse loves {}" but you have "Tree house loves {} " instead. Those extra spaces are preventing the output from matching.
