Two words utilizing the "eo" to represent an explicit long "e" sound are people and theory - although, depending on the speaker, the "eo" in theory may sound less like thEE-rEE and more like thEE-u-rEE.
Examples of other words utilizing the "eo" where the "e" is long but the "o" acts as a second syllable include neon (nEE-AHn), rodeo (rOH-dEE-OH) and eon (EE-AHn).
