The reason that they keep getting good ratings are:
1. Attractive people forced into a sexually charged situation. Who deosn't love that (besides people who are actually in a situation where they're happy)?
2. People whining about their feelings in front of a camera in front of the whole nation, just like every other reality show. It's part of the foundation for a popluar reality show. Viewers like to identify with those morons.
3. The extravagent living conditions (i.e. 'THE HOUSE'). If a viewer is identifying with a character on T.V., they want to be confortable and spoiled with that character. If your favorite real world-er is awwstruck with the house, you want to be awestruck with him/her.
4. Drama. Unfortunatally, a LOT of people out there love watching drama. What happenes when you put (usually insane) blonde preppies in with (usually insane) black people with a (usually insane) alcoholic with a (usually insane) homosexual with a grounded person to make sure they don't kill each other? The Real World!
IMO.
