Relative and absolute E0 transition strengths [{rho}{sup 2}(E0)] on the transitional path between the X(5) solution and the rigid rotor limit have been evaluated within the framework of the confined {beta} soft (CBS) rotor model. Relative E0 transition strengths between the {beta}-vibrational band and the ground state band decrease with increasing angular momentum for a given potential stiffness. Absolute E0 transition strengths drop with increasing potential stiffness toward zero in the rigid rotor limit. Interband E0-E2 correlation observables are examined to estimate {rho}{sup 2}(E0) as a function of the R{sub 4/2} ratio.
