This could be the classic "Cut the blue wire, no the red one!" scenario.

There is some sort of chamber that the contestant enters with some electronic device/circuit which is the "bomb" detonator. The "bomb" could be a container of all sorts of nasty stuff at the ceiling of the chamber which will drop down on to the contestant when the detonator goes off. People can donate $ to EFF for the opportunity to put stuff into the container to dump onto a contestant who fails to defuse the "bomb", the nastier the better (to a point).

This is like MacGruber meets Nickelodeon.

Although it would be really cool to have a hi-tech plexiglass automated-dumping-chamber at some point, a fast and cheap solution would be to have a few goons dump a container onto the contestant when the circuit triggers a buzzer or something.
