Family, friends and Argos fans came to the Diesel Playhouse this past Sunday to cheer on their favourites as the final auditions for the 2008 Argos Cheerleaders took place. From 58 hopefuls who made the cut from the preliminary auditions, the final squad of 36 talented ladies was chosen in a fierce competition. Guest judges Rudy Blair from 680 News and Devo Brown of Flow 93.5 once again helped choose who made the team based on appearance, dance skills, and personality. Each finalist also had to answer a question from the judges. The crowd was boisterous and, in the end, a mix of veterans and rookies were chosen to make up the 2008 Argos Cheerleaders.

This year, Argo great Adrion 'Pee-Wee' Smith handled the hosting duties. During the deliberation process, Adrion sat down for a special one-on-one with All-Star linebacker Kevin Eiben, who answered questions about the upcoming season. Those in attendance were also treated to a special performance by Dry County, who rocked the Diesel Playhouse as the judges made the difficult task of choosing the members of this year's team.
