Since the Taking the Stage finale aired last Thursday, y'all've been dying for some dirt about what's up next for the cast. (Trust us, we have, too!) And although MTV is still keeping any official info about a second season on the DL, Mia (who graduates from SCPA on May 19) revealed during a live chat on cincinnati.com earlier today that the cameras are still rolling! (Cue dorky fist pump.)
A coupla other interesting tidbits: Mia DID go on that date with Tyler, and apparently they still remain "close." Just how close remains to be seen. Also, Mia's put her dream of moving to NYC on hold for now, but she's def. not giving up on getting her music in the hands of the public. This summer she'll be performing on a college tour and independently releasing an EP! Look out for it on iTunes, plus remember to keep checking back with us for more inside info on TTS.
Oh yeah, in case you were wondering, Mia says her fave food is mashed potatoes. Girl after our own heart!

Despite amazing efforts from Jasmine and Aaron all season long, in the end, nothing could stand in the way of Mia and Tyler's show-stopping chemistry. And tonight, Tyler finally let Jasmine go -- and summoned up the nerve to ask Mia out on their first official date. Think their initial spark will turn into a full-blown love affair? Or was it all about the thrill of the chase? Now that all the distractions are gone, is there anything left for Mia and Tyler?

Jasmine might've let her relationship drama affect her Julliard audition, but she's not about to make the same mistake twice. And while girl's focused on proving she's Alvin Ailey material, Mia's off talkin' to Jive Records (and pissing off her BFF Aaron by blabbing on and on about Tyler). So where IS the SCPA lover boy? Well, looks like this week Tyler's breaking out all the tricks -- and we're not just talking those high-flying moves on his b-boy audition.
Check out this sneak peek at tomorrow's Taking the Stage season finale and watch as everyone plans for their future. Including Tyler, who's finally ready to ask Mia for that relationship status update. Hey, who says there's no such thing as second chances?

Everyone knows Mia likes Tyler. (Duh, She's been chasing after him since, like, Episode Two!) So when he finally broke things off with his girl Jas, we figured Mia would be right there, waiting to take her place. Apparently, we thought wrong.
The last time we saw Mia, she was sidestepping Tyler's advances ... and running straight into the arms of her BFF, Aaron. And while we're not sure what this means (ploy to make Tyler jealous? More-than-friend feelings for her best bud??), we thought we'd take the opportunity to find out which guy you think Mia oughta choose.

+ Assuming she had her pick, who should Mia be with: Tyler, the smooth-talking big man on campus? Or Aaron, the sweetly sentimental romantic?

Although we personally don't condone moving in on someone else's man, we gotta give Mia props for being on top of her game. Not only does girl have Aaron wrapped around her (fingerless gloved) pinky, but now she's even got Tyler chasing her down the halls of SCPA. How does she it? Allow us to break down a few of her smoothest man-stealing moves:

Although Mia doesn't seem interested in dating her old pal Aaron, we think his puppy dog eyes, unrequited love songs and never-ending collection of knit hats are kinda sweet. Unfortch, since all high schoolers are jerks (even the nice ones), it looks like he might fly under the radar 'til college, at which point, Mia will wake up one morning (five years or so from now), blink her pretty blue (grey?) eyes and realize she made the BIGGEST. MISTAKE. OF. HER. LIFE by letting him go.

Despite the fact that Aaron's been crushing on Mia since, like, forevs, the talented singer (and dancer!) is having trouble getting past their BFF status. And while we hear what she's sayin', we can't help but note that Aaron is totally sweet and adorable AND already has a shrine to Mia in his parent's basement.*
+ Think she's making a mistake by not giving her best guy friend a chance? Take our poll and let us know whether it's time these platonic pals changed their relationship status!
* We're guessing.

While Taking the Stage's Malik and Shaakira scored the crown at tonight's couples dance competition, we're still pretty impressed by the other cast members' performances. Take Mia, for instance. Girl's supposed to be a singer/songwriter, so where'd that Comaneci cartwheel come from? Plus, who knew her lovesick bestie Aaron was leading man material? And even though Jasmine missed an important step in her routine, the rest of her moves were practically flawless. (Having hip-hop hotness, Tyler, by her side didn't hurt either.)
So here's what we want to know from you: Think the best man and woman won the contest? Or was one couple robbed?! Take the poll and help us make our own decision.
