We have 18 contestants, a pre-merge double TC, one or two returnees from Redemption Island, and perhaps a double TC post-merge episode in order to get to the final five by day 36.

We have the call sheet to show us where we need to be for the Finale, but we only have speculation about the interplay between double TC and redemption Island duels.

Questions that need to be answered:

When will the Pre-Merge Double Boot take place?
Will this result in a Triple Duel?
How will the Triple Boot work?

Will both second and third be out of the game, and the winner stay?

Will the winner of the Triple boot become the Returnee, with third place leaving the game and second place staying on the Island?

Will the returnee be part of the double boot episode as TDT speculated?

If there is a pre-merge returnee, will they return at the merge?

When will the merge take place? At EP7 as TDT speculates or later?

How will the extra player be eliminated post merge? Another double TC or an extra TC as TDT speculates?

Will this result in another Triple Duel to determine the final returnee at F5? or will there be a two-duel episode as TDT speculates on his Calander?

Using the TDT Calendar as the starting point here...

...and speculating about the Triple Duels and when they might occur, we have this calendar as an alternative to the TDT calendar.
