Just write your own merge:
(simplified and probably inefficient and first thing off the top of my head)
newlist = []
for x, y, z in zip(list1, list2, list3):
if y > x < z:
newlist.append(x)
elif x > y < z:
newlist.append(y)
elif x > z < y:
newlist.append(z)
I'm pretty sure that should work although it's untested.
