None of these words is a true rhyme with cameo, because cameo's stressed vowel is /æ/ and the sound that follows it is /miəu/. They are chosen to show the shared spelling ending -eo/-io and the common final /iəu/. Genuine sound matches: stereo, video and Romeo all end in -eo and say /iəu/; radio and studio end in -io but keep the same final /iəu/. Beware the lookalikes video and radio, which stress a different vowel and are pronounced with /ɪ/ and /eɪ/ instead of /æ/.
